- The Parables | Scandalous Mercy [Danielle Parish]Jesus' parable of the landowner in Matthew 20 paints pictures of what God is like, what God's kingdom is like, and how we should treat one another when living in the Kingdom.50 min
- The Parables | Let's Throw A Party (Spark's 12th Anniversary) [Danielle Parish]
[We apologize for the low-quality recording this week due to technical difficulties.]
We are so amazed, humbled and thrilled at all God has done these past twelve years at Spark. Jesus' Parable of the Lost Things from Luke 15 illustrates for us what kind of party we are throwing!
43 min - The Parables | The Rich Man, Lazarus, and the Power of Hades [Kevin Neuner]The depiction of the "after life" in the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus has had an outsized influence in the consciousness of Christians for millennia. Visceral images of a chasm, flames, and the description of agony have so captivated the imagination that principal to many Christian theologies is the avoidance of such a place. But is hell the point? Is avoiding eternal punishment the principle?40 min
- The Parables | Seeds, Pearls, and Treasures [Danielle Parish]Jesus says the Kingdom of God is like a seed, like yeast, a pearl ... a treasure. It is productive, it is rare, it is valuable. It must be pursued, found, and nurtured.38 min
- The Parables | The Parable of the Sower (Or, "The Parable of Parables") [Kevin Neuner]Parables are told so our ears and hearts are exposed to the teachings. The teachings are given so we understand deeper realities. And understanding deeper realities opens us to the possibility of life, and, in the words of Jesus, "life abundant!" But all of that depends upon the soil in which the teachings are planted.44 min
- The Parables | The Other Is My Brother [Danielle Parish]Jesus' parables paint pictures of what the world is, what it should be and how we are to live in it. When the world tries to divide us, the way of Jesus is clear, we are to love ALL of our neighbors. Jesus' teaching on the Good Samaritan is one of the most brilliant of Jesus' parables and goes well beyond just helping someone along the road.46 min
- The Parables | Ears To Hear [Danielle Parish]We launch our new series, discovering anew Jesus' parables and how they speak to us today.36 min
- Who Do You Say I Am? | Jesus is Lord [Danielle Parish]We've been asking the question, "Who do the Gospel writers say Jesus is?" From Son of Adam, to Son of David, to a prophet like Moses and Elijah, to Friend & Savior, we've explored these themes in depth. We conclude our series and look closely at the Gospel's declaration that Jesus is LORD.41 min
