Fall 2025 Sermon Series: “Stories Jesus Told”

Parables of the Kingdom, Grace, and Discipleship

August 24 – The Good Samaritan
Text: Luke 10:25-37
Title: Who Is My Neighbor?
Focus: This story isn’t about being a better neighbor—it’s about the Neighbor who came to us. Jesus is the one who crosses every barrier, binds our wounds, and pays our debt.

August 31 – The Rich Fool
Text: Luke 12:13-21
Title: When More Isn’t Enough
Focus: In a world that says ‘you are what you have,’ Jesus reminds us that life is hidden in Him. He offers a richness that can’t be stored but is freely given.

September 7 – The Workers in the Vineyard
Text: Matthew 20:1-16
Title: Grace Isn’t Fair (And That’s Good)
Focus: The Kingdom of God isn’t built on merit but on mercy. Christ gives us what we don’t deserve—His righteousness, His welcome, His life.

September 14 – The Lost Sons
Text: Luke 15:11-32
Title: Running to the Rebel. Waiting for the Self-Righteous.
Focus: Jesus reveals the heart of the Father—who runs toward the rebellious and pleads with the proud. His grace restores, not because we are worthy, but because He is love.

September 21 – The Parable of the Talents
Text: Matthew 25:14-30
Title: Invested in the Kingdom
Focus: This parable reveals a generous Master who entrusts His servants with priceless gifts. It’s not about earning, but about receiving—and trusting that God’s grace and forgiveness are never wasted, even when they feel small or hidden.

September 28 – The Widow’s Offering
Text: Luke 21:1-4
Title: Two Coins, Whole Heart
Focus: This isn’t just a story about generosity—it’s a lament. Jesus sees a woman giving everything she has because her community has failed her. But He also sees her. And though others overlook her, Christ will never abandon her. He gives all of Himself to fill what’s been emptied.

Oct. 5 – The Unforgiving Servant
Text: Matthew 18:21-35
Title: Forgiven and Free to Forgive
Focus: Jesus tells this parable not to guilt us into forgiving, but to show us the staggering freedom He’s won for us. His mercy makes room for mercy in our lives.

We look forward to seeing you in worship. Whether you’re new to faith, returning after time away, or walking with Jesus daily—there’s a place for you here.
