Parables: More Than a Story

We will take a look at the stories Jesus told and how the truths revealed still apply to each of us today.

Do Not Worry

February 28, 2021 • Jay Scott • Luke 12:22–34

All of us struggle on occasion, but it is good to remember what Jesus tells us in Luke 12:23-24, "For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!"

Watchfulness

February 21, 2021 • Lee Cox • Luke 12:35–48

"Be dressed and ready for service and keep your lamps burning..." (Luke 12:35) Jesus tells us to "be ready" for the master to return -- not just in case something bad happens, but also something good. The way we manage our time, talent and treasure will have an eternal impact on us and those under our influence and when we are being generous is when we are most like our master, Jesus.

The Rich Fool

February 14, 2021 • Jay Scott • Luke 12:13–21

“Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Luke 12:15 Unfortunately, most of us live as though life really does consist of an abundance of possessions. While it is okay to be rich, it is important to understand that Jesus anticipates that we will also be rich towards God.

The Good Samaritan

February 7, 2021 • Jay Scott • Luke 10:25–37

The parable of the Good Samaritan teaches followers of Jesus that what's mine isn't actually mine. It's yours [God's], and I'm willing to share it. God has entrusted us with His blessings so that we may be a blessing to others.
