ئیشایا 10:6

We live in a society that is in love with itself. We are immensely focused on ourselves, and this is making us unhappy and unfulfilled. Why? Because we were not created for ourselves, but to give glory to God! Discover that you have been chosen for a purpose, become aware of it, and start living according to the good pleasure of God’s will. You will never be the same!

Why did Jesus preach in parables? Why did He only explain what the parables meant to His disciples, in private, and not to everyone? In this three-day devotional, you will learn why Jesus used parables to teach, whether we should use them, and why they are helpful to us.

Jesus used parables to teach others, and these still speak to us today. Many parables are well known; others less so. Some bring comfort; others correction. Some are easy; others difficult. Of all parables, we hear a take-away message that sounds right & fine, but may miss the key point – likely because that teaching is so difficult. In this devotional, we take a closer look at this most difficult parable.

When we pray, “Our Father,” we are not praying to a distant, uninvolved, abstract thing called "god." We are praying to the living God, our Father who “abound[s] in faithful love” (Psa. 86:15). In this 5-day reading plan, pastor and bestselling author Derwin Gray will journey with you, in discovering who our Father is, so you can break through to a completely new and refreshing prayer life.
