The Jewish leaders criticized Jesus on many occasions, but one of their chief complaints was Jesus’ association with tax-collectors and sinners. In Luke 15 we read of such a complaint, followed by a series of parables Jesus told. These parables illustrated why He cared for sinners, and why we should too! In this lesson, James Smith reviews two of these parables: The Parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin!

Valentine’s day is weeks old now, and the card companies and candy manufacturers have long since moved on to the next holiday. While the holiday of love is all but forgotten for another year, love is not, and should not, be forgotten. While it may be fun to use certain times of the year like valentines day or anniversaries to especially celebrate love, real love should be practiced every day.

Love is in the air, or at least it may seem that way as Valentine’s Day approaches. But what is love? Is it gifts and romance? Emotion and feelings? The world has many definitions of love, but what truly matters is what God says on the topic. In this excellent expository lesson, James Smith takes us through the definitive passage on love – First Corinthians 13.
Jesus calls His disciples to “Follow Me!” How can Christians today follow Jesus? How can we “pursue godliness?” The answer is in the question – we must follow Jesus completely. In this lesson (the first of a new series), Nate Bibens discusses the Biblical call for activities often called the Spiritual Disciplines – activities that are present in the life and lessons of Jesus and other Bible heroes. If we will live a life of spiritual discipline, we can answer Jesus’ call and truly follow Him!
