The Doomsday Clock measures how close we are to irrevocable, international harm. It’s creeping closer to midnight, but, what most people don’t realize is that another clock is ticking. When time is up, Jesus will return to the earth in a cloud over the Mount of Olives. Man’s history will be wrapped up when the King of Kings returns and takes charge.

The parables of Jesus cut to the deepest level of human motivation. In the story of the rich fool, greed was one issue, and covetousness was another. No one is free from the grip of wanting more. If this sin blocks our view of what’s really important, our very eternity is at stake. Today we’ll learn from a parable as meaningful today as it was when Jesus told it two millennia ago.

There will be no U-Haul following your hearse to the cemetery. As the saying goes, “You can’t take it with you.” Jesus told a story about a man who had plenty, but wanted much more — “eat drink and be merry” he said. The parable Jesus told is chilling — that night the man’s life was demanded of him. If there’s one thing you want to get right, it’s where you will spend eternity.

In a shaky market, people wonder where they can place their money so they can get a decent return. On some days, the options are few. Jesus taught a lesson on ultimate investments in a parable recorded in the book of Luke. Jesus counsels believers to invest in God’s kingdom because the true interest rate will be on display only in eternity.

A wealthy man had a manager who he decided to fire. Before he left, the manager cut some deals with his master’s creditors. Those shady deals were meant to curry favor, so that the unemployed manager would have options once his job ended. Jesus made this scenario the subject of a parable about investments, and today we will decipher why Christ commended a man who acted improperly.

Jesus told a story of a great banquet where the invited guests all had excuses not to attend, so the host changed his plans. He invited the poor and the crippled, people who would never expect such a treat and who could never repay him. This parable has parallels in how we approach telling people about the Gospel. Let’s explore the truth of this parable.

Some Christians view evangelism as a chore. They have no clue as to how much God’s heart is gladdened when they share the Gospel. Jesus told a parable about a man hosting a banquet, and when the invited guests never came, he found anyone he could to sit at his table. God seeks the lost just like this man sought people to feed. Let’s hear an inspiring lesson on reaching people who need to hear the Gospel.

In a parable, Jesus talked about three servants and the money their master gave them to invest. Two made substantial returns on the money and were rewarded. The third wrapped his in a piece of cloth and felt the wrath of his master. Today we will hear an interpretation of this parable that equates the money with the Gospel and how we spread that Gospel to others.

Every employee is evaluated by their boss. Every CEO is evaluated by their stockholders. How we handle today’s small tasks affects whether we are given a larger task to perform as well as the rewards that go with it. Jesus taught how faithfulness works and what the perils are for our lack of faithfulness.

Individualism is a mark of the American spirit. We like to “go it alone.” This attitude doesn’t work in spiritual warfare. Jesus taught using parables or stories. He told of a strong man and a stronger man, whose help is crucial in defeating the merely “strong” man. Today we will look at more lessons on how we cannot “go it alone.” We can only defeat Satan in the name and power of Jesus.
