The Parables of Jesus
The parable of the good Samaritan.
August 27, 2023 • Ps. Henry Cruz
Perhaps the most misunderstood parable in all of Scripture is the parable of the Good Samaritan. At first glance, it seems that Jesus is simply teaching about how we should treat one another, but when we look at the discussion that unfolds and leads to the parable, we quickly realize Jesus is teaching much more than just that. Listen to this sermon as we learn what the parable of the Good Samaritan is all about.
The Parable of the workers | Ps. Henry Cruz.
August 20, 2023 • Ps. Henry Cruz
The parable of the laborers seeks to clarify what Jesus said in Matthew 19:30, “But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” Which begs the question: how can last be first and first be last all at the same time? Listen to this sermon as we learn how the kingdom of heaven functions in this way.
The Parable of the sower | Ps. Henry Cruz.
August 13, 2023 • Ps. Henry Cruz
Modern-day preachers often claim that we should follow Jesus' example of telling stories like the parables so that non-believers can be intrigued and understand the truth. However, in Matthew 13:1-23, Jesus reveals that the purpose for speaking in parables was to conceal the truth. In this sermon, you will learn more about the parables and how the parable of the sower reveals the types of hearts that never respond well to the message of the kingdom.
