Lesson 8 - Stories About Waiting … Understanding God's PromiseJesus told two final parables in the days before His death on Calvary — the Parable of the Tenants and the Parable of the Ten Virgins. He warned the religious leaders about what happened to the workers who rejected and ultimately killed their master's son. And He warned His disciples about what was going to happen to Him and how they needed to live until they saw Him again. They were strong words for days when strength was going to be needed. Who would listen and obey?To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
The twenty-first message from the Book of Luke which highlights our response to Jesus' Gospel. Scripture: Luke 5:33-39 Lessons: Lesson 1: We must be careful not to cling too tightly to religious traditions or rigid ways of thinking that hinder us from knowing the real Jesus Lesson 2: External religious observance without inward transformation as a result of one's faith in Christ is meaningless to God
Lesson 7 - Stories About Treasure … Understanding God's Economy Jesus had a lot to say about wealth, but it wasn't what people expected. Today's parables feature two rich men who had everything the world could offer. One foolishly tore down his own barns to make room for more. The other ignored the suffering beggar at his gate, though he knew him by name. Jesus had stern words for those who trusted in their riches and misused them for selfish gains.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Lesson 6 - Stories About Asking … Understanding God's HeartThe disciples knew that Jesus didn't pray like the Pharisees and they observed the result in His life and ministry. They sensed that He was truly connected to His Father in heaven and they wanted to experience that for themselves — so they asked that He teach them to pray. They had no idea how much they would soon need the lessons He gave them.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Lesson 5 - Stories About Serving … Understanding God's ExpectationsWe live in a very “what's-in-it-for-me?' type world. No one wants to commit to anything that doesn't enhance their own bottom line. So Peter's question about what the disciples were going to receive from following Christ was really a very human one. The parables in today's lesson are all about what He expects from us as we serve Him — and the answers might surprise you!To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Lesson 4 - Stories About How to Treat Others … Understanding God's Forgiveness and CompassionThe Pharisees had a hard time seeing their own need for God's mercy. They were confident they were keeping the Law's command to love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. But they didn't really understand what that meant — or just who their neighbor was. They were about to have their eyes opened.

Lesson 3 - Stories About Who's In and Who's Out … Understanding God's Guest ListThe Pharisees made a great show of entertaining one another; and the guest lists for their dinners were all about who was “in” and who was “out.” So when they invited Jesus to dinner, they never expected what He would have to say about their guest lists — or how they compared to the one God has. It was a very interesting evening.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Lesson 2 - Stories About Lost Things … Understanding God's Love For UsJesus talked about a very common experience in this set of parables in Luke 15 — the loss of something precious and valuable. He began with a sheep, then moved on to a coin, and ended with a son. Who could not identify with one or all of them? But as always, Jesus had a point beyond the details. He wanted His listeners to think beyond the lost things themselves to who was doing the seeking in each case — and why. Who among His listeners would really hear what He was saying?To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Lesson 1 - Stories About Listening … Understanding God's Word Jesus often used familiar, everyday situations to teach His followers powerful truths.

Lesson 4 - The Way to WholenessJohn 5:1-16. Most were too busy to notice the crumpled figure of the man on his mat; yet, in the midst of so many, Jesus saw him. And the question He asked the paralytic that day is the question He asks us as well: “Do you want to be made well?” The man's entire future hinged upon his answer and what he did afterward. Jesus is the way to wholeness. Do we have the faith to walk in what He offers? For more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

Lesson 3 - The Way to SightJohn 9:1-38, Mark 10:46-52, Mark 8:22-26 and Isaiah 42:16. As we look at three different people who received sight from Jesus we realize that their stories picture our own lives. The Bible says we are all lost in a spiritual darkness that invades every part of our being. We cannot heal our blindness — only God can do that — and the cure is still the same. Like those in our lesson, we must come to Jesus, for He is the light of the world and those who walk in Him never walk in darkness!
