Parables 10 Virgins 10 Talents/10 Minas - Luke 19:11-27 Judgement of the Sheep & Goats The whole of this chapter is very punctual and profound to the point of Christ Jesus’ return. He is painting a picture of an event that is so far ahead of time that the disciples could not yet comprehend...

Faithful & Unfaithful Servants Matthew 24:42-51 Mark: 13:32-37 Luke: 12:38-48 These parables are the same and speak of Jesus Christ’s Second Advent, but also of His Kingdom and its order. What I find interesting in Luke is that Peter asks Lord Jesus if He is telling this parable for...

AKA: Hearers and Doers Audience: Disciples and Crowd Matthew 7:24-29 Luke 6:46-49 There is so much Truth in this little passage. God knows His creation better than anyone He made, so it’s only fitting that Jesus said this ambiguous teaching of both elements: physical truth and Spiritual...

AKA: Defilement from Within Audience: Crowd & Disciples Mark 7:14-23 There are 2 places in the Bible where all food is declared clean: Mark 7:19 & Acts 10:10-29. God sends a single vision to Peter which holds a double meaning (amazing!) 1. Lord Jesus Christ reminds Peter that He has declared...

Parable of A Kingdom Divided: Mark 3:20-35 Luke 11:14-26 Matthew 12:22-50 Jesus describes two kingdoms at work, and at war as we see in the Bible, but both have something in common. Both kingdoms are whole and not divided against itself to wage war or make peace. This parable should not be...

New & Old Parable: Mark 2:19-22, Matthew 9:16-17, Luke 5:36-39 For a while I couldn’t figure out why this parable seemed like it came from left field. Reading through its context, I didn’t understand what Jesus Christ was saying to the Pharisees (excluding John’s disciples from one of the...
