Lessons From the Parables of Jesus
The parables of Jesus aren’t just quaint tales—they’re divine disruptions. These simple stories carry deep truth, pulling back the curtain on the heart of God, the values of His Kingdom, and what it means to live in step with Him.
In Kingdom Stories from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we’ll explore some of Jesus’ most powerful parables—stories that reveal surprising grace, upside-down values, and radical invitations to live differently. From forgiveness and faith to humility and stewardship, each parable offers a lens to see life the way God sees it.
Join us as we dive into these timeless teachings—stories that comfort, confront, and ultimately call us to walk closer with Christ.
Stretched
Following Jesus into the Uncomfortable
Jesus never called us to a life of comfort or complacency. His teachings consistently challenge us to step beyond what's familiar, confront our fears, and live boldly for His Kingdom. In this series, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., invites us to explore Christ’s radical—and often uncomfortable—vision for His people. It's a vision that stretches us to grow in faith, serve with sacrifice, love beyond convenience, and build authentic community—even when it’s difficult. From daring obedience to countercultural compassion, Jesus calls us into a life that doesn’t fit neatly within our preferences or the world’s expectations. Join us as we embrace the discomfort that leads to transformation, deeper connection, and a powerful witness to the world.
Kingdom Come ~ A Study of Colossians
Being IN but not OF the World
As followers of Christ, we’re called to live in this world but not be defined by it. But what does that look like in our daily lives? How do we engage with culture, relationships, and challenges without compromising our faith? In the Kingdom Come message series by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we’ll explore Jesus’ call to live set apart, shining His light in a way that transforms rather than conforms. Each message will equip us to stand firm in our identity, make a difference in our communities, and navigate life with a kingdom perspective.
