For some, the Parables of Jesus seem like a complex word puzzle, but for others they are relatable pictures that help make the Truths of Scripture more relatable. That was by God's design.

Jesus' brief story of the Two Sons in Matthew 21 challenges His audience's recognition of Him while offering us, Gospel readers, a call to intercede for those we love who have lost sight of Him.

You're invited. The only question is how you'll respond. In Matthew 22:1-14, Jesus tells the story of a king who prepares a wedding banquet for his son and sends servant after servant to bring people in — even after being refused, ignored, and mistreated. It's a parable about God the Father (the King), Jesus (the son), and the Kingdom of God (the banquet). And it closes out our series with one of the most direct pictures in Scripture of who God is, how we respond to Him, and what He actually requires of us. Pastor Dustin walks through three truths from this parable: The King Keeps Inviting God doesn't send one invitation and walk away. He keeps pursuing us — often in ways we don't expect: through people, through pain, through success, through conviction, and even through our own questions. The King Deserves a Response The parable shows three ways people respond to God's invitation: some reject Him outright, some neglect Him by getting distracted with ordinary life (Hebrews 2:3), and some try to approach Him on their own terms. As Pastor Dustin puts it, "The enemy doesn't always tempt us with evil. Sometimes he distracts us with ordinary life." The King Provides What He Requires The banquet has a dress code, and none of us can meet it on our own (Romans 3:10, 23; Isaiah 64:6). But God doesn't just demand righteousness — He supplies it. Through Christ, we're clothed in a righteousness that isn't our own (2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 3:27). "The gospel is not God pretending we are righteous. It is God giving us the righteousness of His Son." Religion says, "Become worthy." Jesus says, "Receive what I have done." Key Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14, Romans 3:10, 22-24, Isaiah 64:6, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 3:27, Hebrews 2:3

This week we are looking at the parable of the dishonest manager. Jesus uses the story to teach that His followers should be just as intentional and wise as the manager in using earthly resources to invest in God's eternal kingdom, serving God rather than money.

The Forgiving KingJesus' parable of the unforgiving servant confronts us with the immeasurable mercy of God and the call to forgive others from the heart.Biblical forgiveness does not mean pretending the wrong never happened, immediately restoring the relationship, erasing consequences, or instantly removing the pain. Instead, forgiveness releases the offense to God, reflects the mercy we have received from Him, and reveals Christ's sanctifying work within us.As we pray specifically, confess our sinful responses, and remain surrendered to Christ, forgiven people learn to forgive. 

Joel has served as the lead pastor of Chapel Pointe since 2014. His passion for leadership is built on an uncompromising dedication to biblical principles and over twenty years of business leadership experience. He is also the founder and executive director of Be The Church, a movement to revitalize the local church through authentic leadership development. Joel holds a business degree from the University of Georgia and a Master of Divinity from Mercer University. He lives in the Grand Rapids area with his family.

We all read this parable and assume we're the hero. But before you can extend mercy like the Good Samaritan, you have to admit you were once the man in the ditch — helpless, wounded, and unable to save yourself. In this message, Pastor Dustin walks through Luke 10:25-37 and asks the question we usually skip: who are you really in this story? The lawyer looking for loopholes instead of opportunities to love? The robbers who use people as a means to an end? The priest and Levite who see the need and walk past because it's inconvenient? Or the wounded man who needs someone to stop for him? The good news isn't "try harder to be the Good Samaritan." The good news is that Jesus is the one who crossed the road for us — He saw us helpless, bound our wounds, paid our debt, and promised to come back for us. Only people who've received that kind of mercy can actually give it away. If you've ever walked past a need because it cost you something, or you're exhausted from trying to earn what's already been given, this message is for you.

Laborers in the VineyardThe landowner pays everyone the same wage — and the all-day workers grumble. This message from Matthew 20 unpacks how confusing earned wages with given grace breeds entitlement, how comparison turns gratitude into resentment, and how remembering we were once "outside the vineyard" turns our work into worship.

Have you ever felt like you have to clean up your life before you could come to church? Or maybe someone made you feel like you didn't belong because of your past, your appearance, or your mistakes.Jesus tells a very different story.In this message from Matthew 22:1-14, Pastor Nicole Barnett explores the Parable of the Wedding Banquet and of its most misunderstood moments: the guest without wedding clothes. Rather than teaching Christians to stand at the door deciding who belongs, Jesus reminds His followers that our calling is to carry the invitation while trusting God to transform the people He welcomes.If you've experienced church hurt, struggled with feelings of unworthiness, or wondered whether God's invitation is really for you, this sermon offers both hope and challenges. It also calls believers to exchange gatekeeping for grace, remembering that the King never asked us to inspect His guests--only to invite them.The invitation is open.Will you trust the King enough to accept it... and extend it to someone else?Send us Fan MailLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

The Good SamaritanA lawyer asks Jesus, "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" — and Jesus answers with the parable of the Good Samaritan. In Part 1 of The Parables of Jesus, we discover that the Law is a mirror, not a ladder, and that the true Good Samaritan is Christ Himself, whose love is compassionate, caring, costly, and complete.

You've Been Given More Than You Think — Are You Using It, or Burying It? Every one of us has been entrusted with something — time, talent, influence, resources, calling. The question isn't whether God has given you something to steward. The question is what you're doing with it. In this message, we walk through Jesus' Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) and uncover three truths that reframe how we see everything in our hands: God Gives — Everything we have was never fully ours. We're not owners; we're managers of what God has entrusted to us. God Expects — Fear tells us to bury what we've been given. But fear rarely says “don't” — it usually just says “wait.” God Rewards — Faithfulness with a little leads to trust with much. God isn't looking for perfection. He's looking for faithfulness. If you've ever buried a calling, a dream, a gift, or an opportunity because you were afraid — this message is for you. It's time to stop living with buried potential and start putting what God gave you to work. Don't leave what's in your hands in the ground.

Have you ever prayed for something so long that you finally just... stopped asking? Not because you stopped believing God could — but because you weren't sure anymore that He would. If that's where you're at, this message is for you. In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus tells the story of a widow with no power, no status, and no advocate — who refuses to stop showing up before an unjust judge. It's not a story about praying harder. It's a story about what your prayer life reveals about what you actually believe about God. In Week 5 of our "Stories: Parables" series, Pastor Kim walks through this parable and unpacks four qualities of a persistent prayer life: discipline, patience, trust, and perseverance — showing why God's delay is never His absence, and why waiting is often where He does His deepest work. If you've ever wondered whether your prayers are getting through, this message will change how you see the wait. Watch now, and if it encourages you, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs it. Luke 18:1-8 (NIV)
