Mysteries of the Heart: A Study in the Parables of Jesus
What Is Your Treasure In Life? Parable of the Hidden Treasure
August 27, 2023 • Michael Graham • Matthew 13:44–46
Learn how coming to Jesus is more than a mere decision, or a shallow "signing up" for a new religious affiliation. Jesus shows us how coming to him offers so much joy, and glory, that its like finding a treasure hidden in a field that is worth giving up everything else to obtain.
How Does Your Faith Treat Others? Lazarus and The Rich Man
August 20, 2023 • Michael Graham • Luke 16:19–31
For religious people, your faith is either in Jesus, or it's somewhere else. Our faith shows up and is proven by our heart towards others. Listen to Jesus tell us the story of two men... one on his way to heaven, and the other on his way to hell. This is such an important story to hear from the lips of Jesus.
What Are You Trusting In? The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
August 13, 2023 • Michael Graham • Luke 18:9–14
In churches, there are really only two kinds of people. There are the religious, who approach God and others with pomp and a high view of themselves, and then there are those who see their need for a Savior. Hear Jesus tell the story of two, opposite people that approach God in prayer. It goes well for one, and scary for the other.
How's Your Heart? : The Parable of the Soils: PART 1
July 30, 2023 • Michael Graham • Matthew 13:1–9, Matthew 13:18–23
The Parable of the Soils shows us that every person's heart is in a different place. Each heart that hears God's Word is either ready for it, and can be saved and changed and helped by God's grace, or it is not. Learn about the four kinds of hearts that people have, and what happens when God's Word is sown into them. It's life-changing.
