Kingdom Stories
Sermon Series by Dr. Chris Moore
In this sermon series, we are going through the parables of Jesus. Of all the words of Jesus that are recorded for us, 35% were spoken in parables. One reason Jesus used stories to communicate is because He was a master at communicating. He knew that we love stories. He had the ability to draw people into a story, and then drive home the point. As we look at the parables we will become better equipped for life in the Kingdom of God.
The Talents
In this parable, Jesus tells a story about a master who entrusted his servants and expected them to work hard and make a profit with what he gave them. We discover God expects us to serve Him faithfully and we will give an account for all we have been given.
