Pastor Glenn Packiam shares a brief message from Psalm 95 on Worship.

Jesus gives us the parable of a merciful master and unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, a story that helps us to reflect on the extravagance of God's merciful forgiveness towards us, and our needed response to forgive others.

The economics of our world relate value to supply and demand or equate value with cost. But the Kingdom works differently. What is the value of following Jesus? These parables of hidden treasure and a precious pearl, as Pastor Glenn Packiam demonstrates, are not about sacrifice but about joy. If we could see how great a treasure Jesus is, and what is being offered us in exchange for our whole lives, we would sell all and give ourselves glad over to gain Him.

We tend to idolize overnight success stories; Christians may even think that?s how God works. Yet the stories of the mustard seed and yeast remind us that the way of the Kingdom is hidden and slow. Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us to reflect on this for our own lives, and to embrace a different kind of growth?a growth that is for the good of the world.

In this first installment of a new series on the parables Jesus told, Pastor Glenn Packiam invites us to reflect on final judgment. Many of us either want God to act now and intervene to stop evil in our world, or we want to imagine that there will not be a final account that we will be required to give. Through this story on wheat and weeds, Jesus calls us to be patient and to trust the goodness of the sower and the justice of the judge.
