Will Not God Give Justice to His Elect? | Luke 18:1-8 | The Persistent Widow In this message from Luke 18:1-8, we look at the parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge, and ask the question at the heart of it: if a corrupt judge will eventually give a stranger what she asks for, how much more will a righteous, loving God give His own children what they need? This sermon walks through…
Are you actually ready for Jesus to return, or do you just think you are? In Matthew 25:1-13, Jesus tells the Parable of the Ten Virgins, a story about a delayed bridegroom, a midnight cry, and a door that shuts. All ten bridesmaids are waiting. All ten fall asleep. But when the moment comes, five are ready and five are not, and they discover it too late.
We don't always see what God is doing. In Matthew 13:31–33, Jesus uses two ordinary pictures, a mustard seed and leaven, to teach us about the Kingdom of God. The kingdom may begin small. Its growth may happen slowly and invisibly. But what God starts, He will grow, and His kingdom will ultimately reach every corner of His creation.
Jesus tells a story about a servant who owed a debt he could never repay, was forgiven everything, and walked out the door to choke a man over a substantially smaller debt. We will look at how we can truly forgive from the heart.
He who dies with the most toys wins... or does he? Jesus tells a parable about a rich man who did everything right by the world's standards and everything wrong by heaven's. In this message from Luke 12:13-21, we walk verse by verse through the parable of the Rich Fool and ask the question underneath it: what are you really living for? Our lives were never meant to be measured by what we own. This…
Why does it feel unfair when someone gets grace they didn't work for? In this sermon, we walk through Jesus' parable of the laborers in the vineyard and uncover the real source of the workers' grumbling. It isn't injustice. It's grace shown to someone else. Matthew 20 tells the story of a landowner who hires workers throughout the day, then pays the eleventh hour workers the exact same wage as the…
In this message from Luke 18:9-14, we walk through the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector to see why respectability is not the same thing as reconciliation with God, why self-righteousness produces contempt instead of humility, and what it actually means to be justified before a holy God.
How is anyone supposed to call on a Savior they've never heard of? No one believes without hearing. No one hears without a preacher. No one preaches without being sent. In this sermon, we walk through Paul's logic step by step and ask a question that presses on every believer: how then, Lord? If salvation is available to everyone who calls, and calling depends on hearing, and hearing depends on…
In this sermon from Luke 15:11-32, we walk through one of the most famous stories Jesus ever told and discover it's not really about a wayward son who wasted his inheritance. It's about a father whose love is running toward us before we ever make it home. Whether you've spent your life in the far country chasing things that left you empty, or you've spent your life in the house keeping score and…
Most people think the Parable of the Good Samaritan is simply a story about helping others. But look closer—and you'll find something far more convicting, and far more freeing, than a lesson in neighborliness. In this message from Luke 10:25–37, we trace the confrontation between Jesus and a lawyer who wanted to justify himself before God. Through the parable Jesus tells, we come face to face with…
The central point of this passage is simple but searching: the state of the soil determines the fate of the seed. The same Word. The same Sower. Four completely different outcomes — all determined by the condition of the ground. This is the first sermon in our series on the Parables of Jesus.
