Pentecost (53)
  1. The parable is harsh. It judges. If you do not believe, you will not be saved. But let us pause for a moment and think about why Jesus is telling the parable.
  2. Jesus invites us to practice a faith that is bold. He invites us to trust in Him, without calculations.
  3. Imagine a world where love is given to the least. That is what Jesus is inviting His disciples to do in His parable this morning.
  4. In this parable, notice how Jesus invites us to consider that forgiveness is something more than a moment. It is a way of grace that extends throughout an entire kingdom.
  5. Sunday after Sunday, God’s people appear to have it all together… which makes you wonder why Jesus even continues to come. After all, everything is great among God’s people here.
  6. These parables invite us to consider the mysterious way of the reign of God. The Kingdom of God comes by grace to those who are seeking and not seeking it.
  7. In Christ, God promises to forgive sin and bring about new life: Life after being canceled.
  8. We cannot control the resistance of people to God’s Word, but we can trust in God’s power and promise to work through His Word.
  9. Jesus did not come to be first. He came to be faithful, faithful to His Father’s mission for you.
  10. Whether we are sheltering at home on Pentecost or gathering together in church, we have reason for praise. Jesus Christ is the source of the Spirit and that Spirit will never fail.
  11. God invites us to have intimate conversations in a world filled with mockery and hate. To trust Jesus reigns whenever and wherever He extends a word of promise to the displaced and the disfavored, welcoming them home.
  12. Jesus offer us this vision of violence not so we might be drawn into it but so we might be drawn through it to come closer to Him.
