Living on Borrowed Time (#2)
You’ve heard Jesus’ parables described as positive, uplifting stories that promote good behavior. Something like the ancient world’s version of Veggie Tales or Saturday morning cartoons. But the truth is, the parables often have a humbling, and at times, terrifying message. John MacArthur looks at one parable with that kind of sobering theme in his lesson on GRACE TO YOU.
Living on Borrowed Time (#1)
Jesus didn’t play the stock market when He was on earth, but He did emphasize the importance of making investments, specifically spiritual investments. So, what did Jesus say about laying up treasure in heaven? John MacArthur provides an answer to that question and more on GRACE TO YOU. He also shares a lesson on how to maximize the time you have left on earth, time that, according to God’s word, is fleeting.

The Most Misunderstood Parable (#2)

On GRACE TO YOU, John MacArthur continues his in-depth look at the parables in his series titled Stories with Purpose.

John MacArthur helps you see that on GRACE TO YOU as he continues his series titled . . . Stories with Purpose.
