The Prodigal Son - Troy Postlethwait
Let me walk you through the parable of the prodigal son, one of Jesus' most profound illustrations of God’s love and grace, found in Luke 15. This story is the pinnacle of Jesus' response to the Pharisees and scribes, who criticized Him for welcoming and eating with sinners. It’s a story that cuts straight to the heart-revealing not only God’s relentless love for the lost but also challenging our attitudes toward those who repent and return.
This parable begins with a younger son who, impatient and restless, demands his inheritance. Under the Law of Moses, the older son was entitled to a double portion, so the younger son would only receive one-third of the estate (Deuteronomy 21:17). Yet,...

The Lost Sheep - Troy Postlethwait
21 час назад
Let me talk to you about the parable of the lost sheep, one of Jesus’ most profound teachings from Luke 15. This parable reveals God's incredible love and yearning for the lost-those who have wandered far from Him. It’s a love that actively seeks, pursues and rejoices when the lost are found. I want to break this down for you and help you see how deeply this applies to your life. Jesus began th...
The Great Supper - Troy Postlethwait
Просмотров 2День назад
I want to speak directly to you today about the parable of the Great Supper in Luke 14:15-24. Jesus told this story during a meal at the house of a Pharisee, which should make every one of us stop and reflect. The parable paints a picture of a great banquet-a symbol of the blessings of God’s kingdom-and the invitations that went out to many. But those who were invited made excuses, refusing to ...
Taking the Lowest Place - Troy Postlethwait

I want to take a moment to speak to you about humility, as taught by Jesus in the parable of Taking the Lowest Place in Luke 14. This lesson carries a profound truth about our attitudes before God and others. Let’s take a closer look at the setting and meaning of this parable. Imagine Jesus, invited into the home of a Pharisee for a meal on the Sabbath. This was not a casual invitation. The Pha...
The Friend At Midnight - Troy Postlethwait

Let me speak to your heart today about prayer, persistence, and the incredible love of our Heavenly Father, as illustrated by Jesus in Luke 11:1-13. Picture this scene: Jesus is praying, His heart fully connected to the Father. When He finishes, one of His disciples approaches Him with a heartfelt request: “Lord, teach us to pray.” This disciple saw something extraordinary in Jesus’ prayer life...
The Good Samaritan - Troy Postlethwait
Просмотров 5День назад
I want to speak to your heart today, just as Jesus did when He shared the parable of the Good Samaritan. Let’s begin with this: the purpose of your life, your very existence, is to prepare for eternity. You and I are here striving for the crown of life-an everlasting life free from pain, sorrow, and death. But to inherit this, you must decide to follow the path laid out by Jesus. That begins wi...

Who is Receptive? - Troy Postlethwait
Просмотров 3Месяц назад
Let me speak to you directly, as though we’re sitting together, heart to heart. I want you to consider who is truly receptive to the Word of God. Think back to that first sermon on the day of Pentecost in Acts. Peter and the apostles preached to thousands, but only about 3,000 souls responded. Why? Because not everyone was ready to receive it. Some hearts were prepared, others were hardened. An...
The Laborers in Vineyard - Troy Postlethwait

Let me speak to your heart today as I reflect on the parable of the laborers in the vineyard. This story, found in Matthew 20, reveals something powerful about the kingdom of God-a place where envy, pride, and comparison have no place. It challenges us to examine the attitude of our hearts toward God’s grace and our service to Him. Jesus introduces this parable with a setting that speaks volume...
The Way, the Truth, and the Life: Choosing the Narrow Path to Eternity
Просмотров 2Месяц назад
As we open our Bibles to John 14, we will focus on verses 4 through 6. In this passage, Jesus declares, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” These words were spoken on the eve of His crucifixion during the Passover meal with His disciples. On this solemn night, He prepared them for the dark hours ahead, offering knowledge and hope. Jesus had for...
From Genesis to Judgement: Who Is God to You?
Просмотров 10Месяц назад
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This opening verse of the Bible establishes God as the eternal Creator of all things, the one who existed before time began and who brought everything into existence by His Word. It lays the foundation for our faith, proclaiming God's sovereignty, power, and wisdom. This truth confronts the modern rejection of God seen in atheism and ev...
The Destruction of Self-Centeredness and the Call to Christ-Centered Living
Просмотров 6Месяц назад
Let me speak to your heart for a moment. When I consider Psalm 23, those familiar words-The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want-remind me of the comfort and guidance God provides. Today, we’ll delve deeper into that beautiful psalm, but this morning, I feel led to address something pressing: the problem of self-centeredness. You see, self-centeredness isn’t just a modern phenomenon. It has pl...
The Lord Is My Shepherd: A Call to Follow the Good Shepherd
Просмотров 2Месяц назад
Let me speak to your heart about the beauty and depth of Psalm 23. These words, so familiar to many, often bring comfort in times of grief or struggle. Written by King David, a ruler of immense power, these verses reflect humility as he identifies himself as a sheep under the care of the Lord, the Good Shepherd. David acknowledges that God, as Adonai-Lord and Master-intimately knows His flock a...
Parables of Jesus: The Mustard Seed - Troy Postlethwait
Просмотров 6Месяц назад
Today, as we dive deeper into Jesus's parables, I want us to look closely at two short yet profound parables: the mustard seed and the leaven. In both of these, Jesus gives us a vision of the kingdom of heaven-a vision of something that starts out almost invisibly small but grows beyond imagination to impact the whole world. First, let’s consider the mustard seed. Jesus says the kingdom of heav...
The Theme of Proverbs - Troy Postlethwait
Просмотров 3Месяц назад
Let’s take a look at Proverbs 1:7 together, where Solomon sets the theme for his book: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” At the start, Solomon reminds us that real wisdom-the kind that gives us true understanding and direction-begins with reverent awe of God. This is not about dread or terror, though there’s a place for that when we ...

Turning Trials Into Triumph - Troy Postlethwait
Jesus is a fictional character, a knock off of earlier god myths. There is no eyewitness evidence (outside the myths in the bible) from any contemporary author -- not a word.
BLAME YOUESELF
Gods are myth. And nobody has evidence that jesus actually existed. It's all lies

John 4:38. Winning souls. Fields are ready for harvest. One saw and the other reaps. We have not laboured , but we are called disciples. Takes time for the ground to be prepared. Take comfort that God’s word is never in vain . 🙏 God holds us responsible for sawing the seed , and reap. God give the increase . Amen. So we all rejoice.
