Mike tells the story of King Josiah, a boy who became king at the age of 8 and “did right in the eyes of the Lord.”

Mike tells the story of a young slave girl in 2 Kings 5 to show that God can use you no matter your age, position, or circumstances.

“So the first will be last, and the last will be first.” What does it look like to be a humble follower of Christ?

What does it take to follow Jesus?

The Parable of the Great Banquet- Luke 14:12-24

“Jesus, what do you expect from me in order to inherit eternal life.” A lawyer asks Jesus a pointed question but doesn’t expect a question and a story in return.

Mike walks through the parable of the unforgiving servant, contrasting the attitude of the man who had been forgiven to how we should live in light of how much we have been forgiven by God.

What is Jesus worth to you? This is the question Mike asks as he works through the parables in Mt. 13 of the hidden treasure and pearl. Giving your all for Jesus is not such a sacrifice when we think about what it is we gain in Him.
