Introduction
What is the kingdom of God?
Rule, authority, and presence.
Two kingdoms: The kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness.
Jesus’ teachings often centered on the kingdom of God.
And central of what Jesus taught was the invitation to enter the kingdom.
You are either in the Kingdom of God or Lost.
It is this truth that Jesus came.
It is this truth that Jesus taught.
It is this truth that Jesus healed.
It is this truth that the Church has its purpose.
Transition
One of the ways Jesus communicated the truth about God’s kingdom was through stories called parables.
Parables were a way to convey moral, transcendent principles in an allegoric story that people could understand and relate to.
We begin a new series that will focus on three parables, teaching of Jesus, that reveal the truth about the Kingdom of God and those that are lost.
Text
Tax collectors and sinners where interested in hearing what Jesus had to say.
Why or how could sinners be interested in what Jesus said?
The Good News of the Kingdom Inspires Hope.
People were drawn to Jesus—because He gave hope (the message of the Kingdom).
People are looking for hope.
But who often stands in the way of hope?
Religious, self-righteous people!
Self-righteousness opposes the Kingdom of God.
Self-righteous people are more concerned about rules, traditions, and themselves, than those who need hope.
Self-righteous people embrace a false hope that one’s own efforts is all you need.
Self-righteous people are more concerned about appearances than transformation.
Self-righteous people are, in fact, opposers to the rule, authority, and grace of God’s Kingdom.
The irony of it all is that whether a “sinner” or a “Pharisee,” the Word of God declares:
Without Christ, all are lost.
