The Parable of the Wedding Feast

Laborers in the Vineyard - Matt 20:1-16

Matthew 20:1-16

What Defiles a Person - Matt 15:10-20

Guest Speaker Peter Norman on Matthew 15:10-20

New & Old Treasures - Mtt 13:51-52

What does Jesus think preaching in the Kingdom should look like?

Parable of the Hidden Treasure - Mtt 13:44

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." -- Mtt 13;44

The Parable of the Net - Mtt 13:47-50

In this episode we look at Jesus' Parable of the Net and how the Way of Jesus is by nature a missional movement to gather and save the world and that the day will come when that mission will be complete and the final judgement will separate those who are truly in Christ from those who are not.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed and the Leaven: Mtt 13:31-33

In this sermon Fr Ryan looks at Jesus' teaching that the Good Seed of His Kingdom (the Gospel) will always outperform the negative elements of the hard and rocky ground and the threats and schemes of the evil one in the lives of every follower of Jesus and the church as a whole.

The Parable of the Weeds - Mtt 13:24-30; 36-43

If God is good and the Kingdom of Jesus brings salvation why is there is so much evil not only in the world but in the Church? In this parable Jesus explains what frustrates and attacks His goodness in the world and what His plan is to counter it without hurting the wheat His good seed has grown.

The Parable of the Sower - Mtt 13:1-9; 18-23

This week Robyn Wilson unpacks Jesus' first parable in our new series and helps us consider how we are receiving the Good Word of Jesus.

The Purpose of the Parables - Mtt 13:10-17

Why doesn't Jesus just make things as simple and straight forward as possible when explaining God, His salvation work, and the nature of the Kingdom? Does He intentionally make it difficult to understand for some people while making it clear for others? In this sermon Fr Ryan shows God's revelation design in the words of Jesus in Matthew 13 as we kick off this new series on The Parables of Jesus.
