Luke 15:1-32 | What is the heart of God toward those who wander? Have you ever been so focused on the task in front of you that everything else fades so far into the background and you miss something important? In Luke 15, Jesus responds to the grumbling of the Pharisees: “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” Jesus tells three parables that reveal what they missed, leading us to ask: “What is the heart of God toward those who wander?” And more importantly, “Do you have it?”
Matthew 13:44-46 | There is a lot of wisdom packed into just a few short verses. In the Parable of the Hidden Treasure and the Parable of the Pearl of Great Value, God reveals that when we live with open hands and faith, we can discover the priceless gift of His Kingdom.
Luke 18:9-14 | This week, we dive into a parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee approached God with a "holier than thou" attitude, saying, "God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector." The tax collector, though, begged for God's mercy to save him from his sin. Through Jesus's words here, we learn that self-righteousness and godly righteousness are very different.
Luke 10:25-37 | What if a 60-second story Jesus told has the power to change how you love people for the rest of your life? In one of Jesus's most famous parables, The Good Samaritan, he replies to a lawyer's question, "Who is my neighbor?" with one of the most powerful truths of what a life of love for people looks like. Hear what a life of loving our neighbor as ourselves truly looks like lived out.
Matthew 20:1-16 | What if God doesn't always act fair as we define fairness? And what if that is really good news for us people desperately in need of His generous grace? Let's rest together in a parable that unpacks for us truly the generous "unfairness" of the grace of God.

Matthew 13:1-23 | Why is it that a group of people can all hear the same things from the Word of God and have vastly different reactions to it? Why is it that the Gospel for some is the greatest news they have ever heard and for others, the offense of it makes them deeply angry? This week, we look at the Parable of the Sower and gain a deeper understanding of how the Word of God is heard by hearts in different places.
