The Parables of Jesus Sandwiched in between Jesus’ teaching about the signs of His return and His description of the final judgment are two parables: the parable of the ten virgins, and the parable of the talents. As Jesus approached Jerusalem, knowing He was going to be crucified, that He would rise again and ascend into heaven, He continued to teach His disciples how…

“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”
Sermons on Matthew
The Parables of Jesus If you were to “make up” a religion, what would it be like? All you need to do is look around at any of the religions of the world to discover the answer! There are religions that believe in “gods” or “spirits,” and there are those that don’t. There are religions that believe in some kind of “after-life” existence, and those…
The Parables of Jesus Imagine having to “pay God back” for your sins before being allowed to enter into heaven!! What if God required you to somehow pay a penalty for every sin you ever committed?!! Obviously, none of us could do it! “The wages of sin is death!” And we have all earned God’s just judgment. Yet, He gave His only Son to bear our…
The Parables of Jesus During His ministry Jesus spoke of a “wedding feast” … a great banquet, hosted by God!! In His parables He spoke of invitations being given to many who then made excuses why they could not (or would not) come to the feast. In Matthew 22, Jesus uses this illustration to refer to the celebration of the coming of God’s…
The Parables of Jesus The parable of the Good Samaritan is perhaps one of the easiest parables of Jesus to understand, and perhaps one of the most difficult to DO … to live out!! The lesson is simple: Everyone God puts in your path is your neighbor, and God tells you to “love your neighbor as yourself!” Who does that?? Do we even begin to…
The Parables of Jesus Listening to Jesus tell parables, you might think He didn’t want people to understand what He was saying! However, Jesus came to reveal things that had previously been either misunderstood or totally ignored by most of the human race, from Adam and Eve forward. He spoke in parables, knowing that His Spirit would enable those whom God had chosen to…
The Parables of Jesus There are TWO groups of people in this world: those who are disciples of Jesus Christ and part of His kingdom, and those who aren’t. As Jesus taught His disciples, and also spoke to large crowds, He was continually pointing out the conflict between HIS kingdom and the “kingdom of this world.” Since the time of mankind’s fall into sin in…
‘Seven Years That Will Change The World!’ Believing the Bible to be the Word of God requires accepting the truth that there WILL be a “rapture” of the saints … a “gathering up together” to meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air when He returns in His glory!!! So why all the debate? Why the different “positions” about whether there will be a…
‘Seven Years That Will Change The World!’ What is going on in our nation and throughout the world??!!! BIRTH PAINS!! When the disciples asked Jesus, “What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”, Jesus told them what the last generation would see and what would happen just before He returned to earth. God reveals these signs of the…
‘THIS I KNOW!’ ALL religions, except Christianity, are alike. If you were asked how Christianity is different than all the other religions of the world, would you be able to give the right answer? Keep in mind that those who are not born again by the Spirit of God do not KNOW God; and because they do not know God, they imagine…
