On Easter Sunday, Pastor Tom brings a message of new life in Jesus! Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector in Jericho, has an encounter with the Son of God that brings salvation and a changed man. That can be your story, too!
Pastor Tom takes us into the story of the Rich Young Ruler, a man who seemingly had everything yet was empty and desperately unhappy. He came to Jesus looking for answers, and Jesus told him he lacked just one thing, but first he had something to give up.
Jesus tells us that at the final judgment he will separate the people into the sheep and the goats. The righteous, who he calls the sheep, will be recognizable for how they have lived. When you look at their lives, you can actually see their faith.
In the Parable of the Wedding Feast, Jesus warns self righteous religious leaders in Israel that they will not make it into the kingdom of God. Instead, he says, people from everywhere, who are willing to wear garments provided by the king, will be there.
In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, Jesus teaches that his second coming at the end of the age will separate everyone into two categories, the wise or the foolish. The difference is preparation. When the bridegroom returns for his bride, will you be ready?
Luke chapter 18 starts off with two parables: the Persistent Widow and the Pharisee and Tax Collector. Both are teaching us about prayer. Pastor Tom focuses on the second parable and what we can learn from which man Jesus said found justification.
His disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray, and he does, giving them what's come to be called The Lord's Prayer. Afterwards, Jesus tells them a parable about prayer and how their heavenly Father will listens and answers.
For the second week in a row, Jesus is talking about money. It was a frequent topic of his because he knew the potential for idolatry that money presents. Pastor Tom says the important question is: When Jesus talks about money, do we listen?
In the Parable of the Rich Fool, Jesus asks us to take a hard look at our wealth (and all of us have wealth of one kind or another). Do we look to that for our security, or to God? How much of it do we give away? What treasure have we laid up in heaven?
The Parable of the Good Samaritan is one of the most familiar stories Jesus eve told. Asking who you neighbor is and hearing it's the person you see in need EVEN when that person is someone you'd otherwise consider an enemy can be quite a shock.
Pastor Mason Brown on the Parable of the Two Builders. At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus wants us to know there are two kinds of people: the wise, who hear his word and do it, and the foolish, who choose not to do what he says.
Jesus tells two stories with one message: the kingdom of heaven is a treasure so valuable that it's worth everything you have and everything you are. Let it fill your life and displace the emptiness. Recognize the beauty of Jesus today!
In the Parable of The Sower, Jesus describes four types of soil and how each one differs when seed is scattered on it. Each describes a different reaction to the gospel. Pastor Tom calls us to examine ourselves and see whether or not we are good soil.
