In Matthew chapter thirteen, Jesus tells a story about how the different conditions of the soil can impact seed taking root and actually producing fruit. What does this story mean and how does it apply to us? For this parable, we don't have to wonder the answer to this question since Jesus tells us what it means.

There is usually no argument when it is stated that Jesus was one of the most loving people who ever lived. Sometimes that love was expressed in the form of a warning. Our parable this week is found in Luke 16:19-31 where Jesus tells a story about two men with two different destinies. In this parable, Jesus is issuing a serious warning to us to examine where our future is headed.

The parable of the vineyard workers teaches us a lot about God's grace and our tendency to compare our own lives with others. We often look at our lives with lenses of fairness instead of glasses of grace.

In the second letter to the Thessalonians (2:11-12), Paul prays that God would count them worthy of His calling. What does this mean? How can we live in such a way to be counted worthy? Join us as we dive into another one of Paul's prayers to learn how we can more effectively pray for ourselves and one another.

God tells us to pray for one another. Sometimes we know what to pray because we ask the person. But other times we struggle with what to pray. This new message series will walk us through some of the prayers that Paul prayed for fellow believers. Paul's prayers teach us not only some great things to pray for one another, but they also teach a lot about God and the Christian life.

It's not often one of our own people goes on a yearlong mission trip to share Christ's gospel and love.
