How does a quick lesson on mending clothes and winemaking connect to fasting? In these twin parables, Jesus uses them to introduce a new way forward.

You're Not the Hero

You're Not the Hero

How can you tell if someone is inside or outside the Kingdom of God? How do you know if you are inside or outside the Kingdom of God? In this parable, Jesus presents a shocking story that shows us how it’s not always as obvious as it may seem.

Persistent Prayer

Persistent Prayer

Injustice is rampant in our world. We can easily be overwhelmed by it. Yet Jesus gives us instructions about what our response ought to be through the parable of the persistent widow. Prayer is the first response of a faithful Christ-follower.

Small Beginnings

Small Beginnings

We always want big and exciting things to happen. But we don’t always see God’s kingdom grow and expand the way we want. Jesus gives the parable of the mustard seed and yeast to set our expectations correctly.

Lost and Found

Lost and Found

In the stories of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost sons, we’ll see that heaven rejoices when a sinner repents, that there’s more than one way to be lost, and that there is no one beyond rescue.

Being and Doing

Being and Doing

In the midst of our frenzied world we have a lot to do. Jesus invites us to be still and know. To listen and receive His grace and mercy. To pause. As we study Luke 10:38-42 we’ll see that we must be with Jesus before we can do anything for Him.
