This is one of those parables where the main point is often lost. We are told that a legal expect comes to test Jesus and to try to justify himself. Jesus knows what is happening and tells a parable to show that there is no place for legalism in a relationship with God.

The Good Samaritan - Luke 10:25-37

The Growing Kingdom - Matthew 13

Ephesians 1 is a great place to think about what we should want for ourselves and what we should want for others in the coming year.

New Year Resolutions - Ephesians 1:15-23

It is strange that the Gospel writers give us so little detail on the early life of Jesus. John and Mark give us no information. Matthew and Luke give just a few details. What Luke gives us helps explain who Jesus is and what he has come to do.

When God Says Goodbye - Ezekiel 4-24

Ezekiel is in exile in Babylon … but sees God’s Glory … in Babylon. He is commissioned to preach to God’s people and explain why they are in exile and why Jerusalem will be destroyed. But by the end of the book he also gives them the most incredible hope.

Every Breath You Take ... Ezekiel 1-3

Lamentations is probably one of the darkest books in the whole Bible. The setting is Israel are in exile and the book explains when they have been rejected by God. The only tiny note of hope is found in the middle of chapter (Lam 3:22-23)
