Today, we reach the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, found in Matthew 18:21-35. This parable contains Jesus’ major treatment on forgiveness. Living in a broken world, as a broken person, surrounded by broken people will provide ample opportunity to forgive and be forgiven. But, why should we forgive?

This morning we are in the third week of our series, The Parables of Jesus: Windows into Reality, in which we are exploring ten of Jesus’ most famous parables. Today, we reach the Parable of the Soils, found in Mark 4:1-20. This parable reveals why people respond to Jesus so differently. Our response to him is dependent on the condition of the soil of our heart—and only one soil produces a harvest that will last.

This morning we are entering our second week in a new series, The Parables of Jesus: Windows into Reality, in which we are exploring ten of Jesus’ most famous parables. Today, we reach the Parable of the Talents, found in Matthew 25:14-30. This parable is used to highlight the value of stewardship—which is good and right—but there’s much more to it than that. This parable challenges the very foundations of how we see reality and what we do with our lives.

This morning we are beginning a new series, The Parables of Jesus: Windows into Reality, over the course of which we will explore ten of Jesus’ most famous parables. Today, we begin in Matthew 13:44-46 with the parable of the hidden treasure and, its pair, the pearl of great price. Here Jesus illustrates the unrivaled worth of God’s Kingdom and invites us to consider: What is my greatest treasure? And, more importantly, am I living for the greatest treasure?

Today we conclude our study through the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. This is a five-week overview series, during which we’re spending one week on each book. Today we reach the fifth, and final, book of our series: Deuteronomy. This book records Moses’ final encouragements and exhortations to a new generation of Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land (again). It is filled to the brim with the love and law of Yahweh.

Today we continue our series through the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. Building on Genesis-Leviticus, Numbers recounts Israel’s journey from Sinai to the the plains of Moab, along with an unexpected 40-year disciplinary detour. It is a book about the failure of God’s people and the steadfast faithfulness of God.

Today we continue our series through the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. This is a five-week overview series, during which we’ll spend one week on each book. Today we land on Leviticus, one of the most neglected books of the Bible. Building on Genesis and Exodus, Leviticus recounts God’s call for his newly-forged people to, “Be holy, as he is holy.” Holiness isn’t a popular topic today, but it should be. God’s holiness is not dry, lifeless, and sterile but pulsates with life, pleasure, and joy—and he invites us to share in it with him.
