Secrets from Heaven: Hidden Treasure of Faith in the Parables and Conversations of Jesus by Fr Sebastian Walshe Pdf

The greatest teacher who ever lived, Jesus knew how to reach his audience where they were at. Whether preaching to a group in parable or holding an intimate conversation, he had an unequaled ability to get across the message that his listeners needed to hear. His teachings in the Gospels speak no less directly to us today. But so rich in meaning are the words of our incarnate God, so layered and profound his messages, that often we fail to do more than scratch their surface. And over time, our habit of superficial encounter with the Word can become self- perpetuating. In Secrets from Heaven, Fr. Sebastian Walshe helps you break free from stale and familiar takes on the Gospel, giving you new eyes to see and new ears to hear the inexhaustible depths of Christ's wisdom. The Parable of the Sowers, the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, the woman caught in adultery - all these and more come alive in fresh ways, revealing significant details and nuances, scriptural/historical connections, and testaments to Christ's rhetorical and pedagogical genius that you've never noted before. You'll marvel at Jesus' skill as an evangelist; but more importantly, you'll be powerfully moved to faith and love just as those who heard him in person long ago. Nothing Jesus taught was truly "secret" - he revealed the Father for all the world to see. But that doesn't mean his revelation is simplistic. Read Secrets from Heaven and go deeper into the saving mysteries of his life and words.

The Hidden Parables by Todd Michael Pdf

The secret and empowering messages contained within Christ’s thirty parables—an astonishing and practical blueprint for the life you are destined for. In The Hidden Parables, Dr. Todd Michael unveils a hidden layer of meaning within the thirty enigmatic parables spoken by Christ that shows that the parables are not a random collection of stories but a unified system of knowledge. This integrated system of knowledge describes how to use the spiritual law of thought forms—of controlled intentions—to create more beneficial, more miraculous circumstances in our personal lives. The information it presents is clear and very useful. Moreover, this system bears an uncanny symmetry with many of today’s leading-edge ideas from quantum physics. In The Hidden Parables, the parables are meticulously retranslated, retaining the expressiveness of the original Greek and giving the reader a literal understanding of the words of Jesus. Those aspects of Christ’s words that are sometimes considered confounding are freshly revealed for their penetrating insights into human existence and for the hands-on methodology they provide for a greater self-understanding and for leading a more fulfilling life.

Secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven by Steven Teske Pdf

When his disciples asked Jesus why he spoke in parables, Jesus did not say that the parables made his teachings easier to understand. Instead, he indicated that many people would misunderstand his parables. He suggested that they were spoken in a code that would only be understood by believers. "To you has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given," he said (Matthew 13:11).What secrets are these? They are the identity of Jesus-truly and completely God, truly and completely human, and the world's only Savior and Redeemer-and the mission of Jesus-to live a sinless life in the place of his people, and to offer that life as a sacrifice to redeem his people. Lacking knowledge of those secrets, the parables of Jesus appear to be lessons about how to live as Christians. Knowing those secrets, the parables are revealed as descriptions of how to have eternal life through the work of Jesus-his sinless life, his sacrificial death, and his victorious resurrection.This book guides the reader to understand the parables of Jesus according to the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. It helps the reader to become that disciple described by Jesus: "Every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old" (Matthew 13:52).

Parables Workbook by John F. MacArthur Pdf

Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables He told were ingeniously simple word pictures. Some of them were no more than fleeting remarks about commonplace incidents, objects, or persons. In fact, the most compact of all Jesus' short stories does not even fill a complete verse of Scripture. Yet the all were filled with profound spiritual lessons that He wanted His listeners to hear and understand. Jesus told these parables so they would clearly comprehend His message about the kingdom of God and the reason He had come to earth. In the Parables Workbook, master expositor and Bible commentator John MacArthur draws on his years spent studying and explaining the Word of God to guide readers through some of the most famous and influential short stories that Jesus told. Each session contains the following: Biblical focus: the primary passages on which the session draws Another look: questions to facilitate review of content in the book Biblical connections: questions that focus on the main Bible passage Highlighting the lesson: questions that focus on the central teaching points Lasting implications: questions to help draw out personal conclusions Daily assignments: five sets of questions that reflect on the parable, the point, the purpose, the principles, and the practical application This workbook has been designed to enhance readers' experience of reading the book and is intended both for individual use and for study in a small-group setting.

Laughter in Heaven by Earl F. Palmer Pdf

The parables of Jesus are of untiring interest because they have the intriguing capacity to dole out their meaning here a little, there a little, new new insights revealed by changing times. Here, master Bible expositor Earl Palmer finds in them the truths awaiting our generation, and presents those truths with a gifted sense of illustration and application. Partly because their veiled nature, the parables never grow old. Far from what we sometimes hear, they are not little stories so simple that they can make truth transparent, so anyone can understand. Jesus used parables so that the truth will actually be hidden from those who had rather not see it in the first place (Matthew 13:11-15). But for those who long for the truth, it is there for the discovering.

Unlocking The Parables Of Jesus by Tom Akers Pdf

Could it be that you have missed a hidden message that Jesus contained in His parables because you did not have the key? When Jesus spoke to the multitudes, He spoke in parables. The parables of Jesus were revealing things kept secret from the foundation of the world. But the multitudes did not understand these great mysteries. We know that Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven so that he could unlock the Kingdom of God for man to enter in. We have taken the keys from the Word of God and created lessons to help you unlock the parables of Jesus. We want to help you understand some of the significant points made by Jesus in His parables. These lessons present information to help you understand the culture of the time. Did you know that the sheep raised in the Middle East are called fat-tailed sheep? They are different than most sheep we see in America and have distinctive large tails and hindquarters. Information like this will help us understand some of the traditions and practices in Bible times. If we want to be like Jesus, then we need to fully understand what He was teaching.

Parable Church by Mike Burnette,John Driver Pdf

In Parable Church, pastor and author Mike Burnette unpacks unique insights from Jesus' parables that can help us understand and experience the full, transformative life in community we are divinely intended to live. Christ never actually told us how to "do church." Yes, he had a lot to say about the church, but what he did say was mostly unrelated to stylistic issues or contextual trends. He never spoke about its leadership hierarchies or the pros and cons of denominational fellowships or the types of music. And yet, much of our time and energy as leaders and shepherds is consumed by chasing after tips, tricks, and secrets to "grow" churches. While we've tended to focus on church growth through strategies, programs, and metric-based insights, Christ always focused on the heart and the values of the Father, the values that actually change lives and increase the spiritual health of his people. By digging deeply into three important parables: The Parable of the Two Sons The Parable of the Sower The Parable of the Talents Parable Church weaves together personal narratives, unique cultural observations, and compellingly fresh biblical insights to paint a picture of something unimaginably greater than what most people think of when they think of Jesus' Church. Although Jesus never gave us directions for church, he did, through his parables, reveal what we should experience in our communities together--he revealed the culture of his kingdom.
