Do you suffer from OBS (Older Brother Syndrome)? Discussion Questions: What does this parable teach us about the empty promises of sin? What motivated the prodigal son to want to go home? Have you found yourself preparing a script to grovel before God? Why? What does the father's reaction say about our Father? What does it say that the father went into FULL “party mode”? Do you ever suffer from OBS (Older Brother Syndrome)? What's the remedy? React to this statement: “You have always been with me, all that is mine is yours.”

In this, one of Jesus' most difficult teachings, He shows us that we who are forgiven by God should forgive others as we have been forgiven.

The Parables of Jesus - The Good Samaritan Who really counts as your neighbor? Jesus' answer might surprise you. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus flips the question from 'Who deserves my love?' to 'Who can I show love to?' The hero wasn't who anyone expected—and that changes everything about how we should live. Ready to practice costly compassion that crosses all boundaries?

"Who is my neighbor?" As Jason preaches on Luke 10:25-37, we are reminded of the story of the Good Samaritan and how we should show compassion to others because Jesus first showed compassion to us. Who in your life will you choose to be a better neighbor to?

The Parables of Jesus - The Unforgiving Servant This sermon focuses on Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant from Matthew 18.  The story involves a king who forgives an enormous debt owed by his servant, only to have that same servant refuse to forgive a much smaller debt owed to him by a fellow servant.  The pastor uses this parable to illustrate God's infinite grace in forgiving our sins and our responsibility as Christians to extend that same forgiveness to others, even when it's difficult.

As Rob preaches on Mark 4:1-20, the parable of the sower, we learn that this story is not just about the seed, but the soil as well. What kind of soil is your heart being cultivated in?

Happy Canada Day weekend! This Sunday, our own Mike Racinsky, will be unpacking the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector found in Luke 18:9-14. Mike is the director of NEXT Gen ministries for FEB Central (our region within the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches) and it is a privilege to have Mike, Sara and their two children as members of Temple.

What really makes one unclean before God? Is it eating certain foods? Going certain places? Talking with certain people? No! What really defiles a person does not come from without. It comes from the heart.

The Parables of Jesus - The Rich, Young Fool Jesus often used parables or stories to convey important principles. In this series, we'll examine three stories - The Rich Young Fool, The Unforgiving Servant, and the Good Samaritan - and unpack how these stories impacted the original audience and how they are important for us today.

This week Derek Brown taught on finding hidden things in plain view.  

As David preaches on Matthew 13:44, we are reminded of Jesus' telling of the story about the hidden treasure. When we acknowledge Jesus as the Lord of our life, and choose to follow Him, we then can experience the treasure that is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Pastor Billy Waters continues our summer series on the parables of Jesus by exploring the Kingdom of God through the lens of forgiveness. Drawing from Matthew 18:21–35, we're reminded that nothing welcomes God's presence like forgiveness—and nothing drives it away like unforgiveness.Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant shows that the Kingdom is built on mercy, not merit. We who have been forgiven an immeasurable debt are called to extend the same grace to others.

As we continue in our series of Jesus and the parables, Rob preaches on Luke 15:11-32, the parable of the prodigal son. Are you like the prodigal son? or are you like the Older brother? Do you hold a bowl of greed and shame? Or one of pride and judgment?

Matt preaches on Matthew 13:31-32, the parable of the mustard seed. There are so many things that can cause us to doubt, but even a mustard seed-sized faith can move mountains. What would it look like if we asked the Lord to help with our unbelief?

06/01/25. The Parables of Jesus: The Good SamaritanKyle Hackett

Welcome to Wellspring Church!Why does grace offend us? In this week's message, Dr. Mark Young unpacks the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20) to show how Jesus' teaching about the Kingdom of God upends everything we assume about fairness, worth and reward.Through a rich explanation of the parable's context, we see that the landowner's generosity—paying all workers the same wage regardless of hours worked—wasn't unjust, it was grace. This kind of grace doesn't play by the world's rules. It's shocking, lavish, even scandalous—and it mirrors the grace God shows us in Christ.

Join us as Rob kicks off our new Summer series on the parables of Jesus with Matthew 13:10-17. The purpose of the parables is to conceal the mystery of the Gospel AND to reveal them, but we have barriers that prevent us from hearing and understanding what God is teaching us. So the question is: "What is keeping you from being dependable on God?"

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And today's shout-out goes to Daniel Gifford from Marrietta, GA. Daniel, thank you for believing in the slow, steady work of God's Word. Because of your support of Project23, others are learning to walk by faith. This one's for you. Today, we're looking at Mark 4:30-34: And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. He did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything. — Mark 4:30-34 Jesus gives us yet another picture of the kingdom of God—and this one flips expectations. He says the kingdom is like a mustard seed. Small. Insignificant. Easy to miss. One of the tiniest seeds you could hold between your fingers. But when planted, it grows. And not just a little. It becomes the largest plant in the garden. Big enough for birds to land in and build their nests. Remember, Jesus isn't giving us a lesson in agriculture. He's describing spiritual hope. The kingdom doesn't always start loud or impressive. It often begins in hidden places. In quiet faithfulness. In small decisions. In the unseen crevices of our lives. God does massive things through small beginnings. This is how the kingdom grows in your heart. This is how it expands in a community. This is how it breaks into a home, a workplace, a school, a nation. Not with a splash—but with a seed. And when that seed takes root, it grows beyond expectation. It creates space for others. It becomes something only God could grow—out of something no one else noticed. So if your faith feels small today—good. That's exactly what God uses. Your "mustard seed" may not look like much, but when surrendered, it becomes a tree of grace. #MustardSeedFaith, #KingdomGrowth, #Project23 ASK THIS: Where in your life has God started something small that you're tempted to overlook? What “mustard seed” decision could you plant today? Are you expecting growth in a way that might miss how God actually works? How has God used your smallest act of faith to bless someone else? DO THIS: Plant one small, intentional act of faith today—something quiet, consistent, and surrendered to God. PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for using the small things I offer for your great purposes. Grow your kingdom in me, even when I can't see it. Amen. PLAY THIS: Do It Again.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!What does it mean to live as the people of God in the kingdom of God? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters continues our series on The Parables of Jesus by unpacking Matthew 13:31–33, where Jesus describes the kingdom of heaven as a mustard seed and yeast—small beginnings with expansive, transformative outcomes.Billy reminds us that Jesus' entire mission was to bring and establish the kingdom of God—and so must ours be. The call is to re-center on the “big why,” tightening the load so that we don't drift from the vision. As a church and as individuals, everything we do is about the kingdom.

The Doctrine and Covenants is filled with directions to help us for the Lord's Second Coming. Twenty percent of the sections include some detail about the Second Coming or a call to assist the Lord in preparing for a Zion society. Two of these are sections 63 and 65, wherein the Lord references the parables of the Ten Virgins and the Marriage of the Bridegroom in conjunction with Jesus' Second Coming. Join Lynn Hilton Wilson as she explains the symbolism involved in these parables to facilitate a deeper understanding in the modern references. Are you prepared? What is one of the central pillars necessary for the return of the Savior? Find out in this episode.
