The parables of jesus -
Building Wisely
Luke 6:46-49
Jesus calls on his followers to be more than hearers and learners, but also doers and practitioners of his Word. At the end of his “Sermon on the Plain” in Luke, Jesus caps his teaching with the story of the wise and foolish builders. Is your life built on doing the Word of Christ, or merely on hearing and learning his Word?
sunday, november 8, 2026 what jesus longs to find
Luke 18:1-8
The Rev. Sam Kennedy, the Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) pastor for UNCW, will lead worship and preach.

the parables of jesus -
on judging and forgiving
Luke 7:36-50
Jesus uses and event at a formal dinner to tell a story about forgiveness and gratitude. All too often, we look at the sins of others while ignoring our own. Jesus has something to say about that.

The parables of jesus -
sowing seeds
Luke 8:4-15
Jesus tells the parable of the seeds, only to have his disciples ask about its meaning. What did Jesus say, and why did he say it at this early time in his ministry?

first sunday of advent -
assuming the end
Luke 19:11-28
In the season of Advent, we meditate on the final Coming of Christ even as we prepare to celebrate his Coming at Bethlehem. What does the Parable of the Minas have to say to us, as well as to those who have “supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately”? What does Jesus have to say about this?
