Now I’m Running Home

by Sarah AndersonParablesPosted on August 26, 2025August 26, 20252 Comments

“Is that a person? Running towards me? It’s just a speck in the distance. That can’t be a person. No one knows I’m coming home. And even if they did I’m expecting doors slammed in my face. Surely no one would be running to meet me. But it is a person! They are getting closer. …

A Little Bit of Yeast Makes a Beautiful Loaf of Bread

And again He said, ‘To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until it was all leavened.’ -Luke 13. Jesus speaks of the Kingdom of God in this parable. Ladies made bread for their families at this time in …

Yes but no, no but yes!

by marette jorgensonUncategorizedPosted on August 12, 2025August 12, 20252 Comments

Matthew introduces us to a part of life that we feel and experience probably daily. What is the integrity of our words? Do they matter, or perhaps more importantly, do people take what we say with a grain of salt, or know we are good for our word? Matthew 21:28-32  “What do you think? There …

Jesus said not to Pull the Weeds!

The Wheat and the Weeds: Trusting the Master Gardener Many of us are attending camps and youth rallies this summer. A few years ago, I went to a camp where each team was asked to create their own “country.” They came up with flags, languages, cultures—you name it. The entire week was devoted to developing …

Producing good fruit for God’s Kingdom

by Lisa RacineParablesPosted on July 29, 2025July 29, 2025One Comment

Jesus told a parable about a vineyard owner, the gardener, and a fig tree with no fruit.  What is the point of a fruit tree that doesn’t bear fruit? According to the Master, nothing, he wanted it cut down!  Yet, the gardener spoke up and asked for 1 more year to care for the tree …

A Persistent Prayer

by Sarah AndersonParablesPosted on July 22, 2025July 22, 20252 Comments

A child is sick, pray. You need a new job, pray. You want to praise God, pray. Thankful for a good meal, pray. As a Christian, prayer should be an enormous and constant part of our lives. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 reminds us to pray without ceasing. In other words, to pray persistently, without giving up. …

The Little House

by Katie GreendevotionalPosted on July 15, 2025July 22, 20253 Comments

There was a little house and then the white house. At the little house was a small three room, really a two room house. With an enclosed lean-to on the side that grandma used for a kitchen. I’m not sure if it had a door or a window. I know we cam in the “living …

The Soil of My Soul

by Katie GreenParables, UncategorizedPosted on July 8, 2025July 8, 2025One Comment

I try to grow things, but apparently plants need water, sun, and the will to grow under my care. However, mine chose the sweet release of compost instead. Jesus used parables every day to illustrate biblical truths. I have never ceased to be amazed at his ability to tell a simple story that transcends time …

♫♪The wise man built a house upon the rock ♫♪, and so the children’s song begins. Yet, Jesus was teaching us all a very important lesson. How we build our house, “our life” matters. He wants our house to be strong and able to withstand the storms of life.  God gives us free choice, which …

Mathew 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then, in his joy, went and sold all he had and bought that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went …
