Character Counts: The Parable of the Minas pt 1

How does what you do with what you have reveal who you are? The Parable of the Minas is about more than the resources in your pocketbook. In fact, in this parable the master gives each servant an equal distribution of resources- everyone gets ONE mina. This represents the idea that there are some gifts that God bestowes on every believer. The question is- are we doing the master’s business in a way that multiplies the precious resources he has given us? Whatever we do with what we have been given is a reflection of who we are...

By Wisdom a House Is Built

Today we go a layer deeper into the parable of the two houses and the wise and foolish builders. We are diving into the themes of “building a house” through the contrasts between wise and foolish “builders” illustrated in various Psalms and Proverbs. What does a house built on wisdom- on Christ- look like? contact us at knownandlovedpod@gmail.com YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-RO_qf30e0oVhKBHHBKAgQ] Our website: lifewithgrace.net

The Two Houses

Today we look at the parable of the two houses and their wise and the foolish builders. While the sower parable is about receiving of the Gospel, the parable of the builders is about obeying it- living it out, actually building our home, or in other words our lives, on the message and words- the truth and beauty of Jesus.

The Gardener

The parable of the sower gives us four kinds of "soil" or hearts for hearing and receiving the Gospel. Remember the issue is not the seed. The seed is always good! The issue is the KIND of soil the seed falls on.... It is the soil’s job is to receive the seed. But it's the gardener’s job is to pull up the weeds! Who is the gardener? Remember- Jesus is the answer. Jesus is always the answer! contact us at knownandlovedpod@gmail.com Known & Loved is also on YouTube!

The Sower

What speaks to your heart in a powerful way that might have you really learn spiritual truths? One of the best ways to teach is through storytelling. Jesus often told stories, or parables for this very reason. Jesus’ stories are opportunities so see our own spiritual condition. Today we begin to look at the Parable of the Sower and examine the different ways people hear and receive Jesus’ teachings… The question Jesus asks is this: Is your heart fertile ground for the seed of his word to take root and thrive in your life? Do you have ears to hear? Contact us at knownandlovedpod@gmail.com Website: lifewithgrace.net YouTube Channel: Known and Loved [https://youtube.com/@monicagillknownandloved?si=cfTVEIRIqR6G3CCB]
