When we admit the worst about ourselves to God, we receive the best of His mercy. Jesus teaches us that to repent before God is to be forgiven and accepted into His Kingdom, and into His family of faith. False efforts to build up our own self-esteem apart from Him leave us stuck where we are. This is the path to personal reformation. Listen as Pastor Rub shares this message based on Luke 18:9-14.

Our Scripture reading for today is the Parable of the Wicked Tenants that is found in Luke 20:9-20. In this story Jesus illustrates the relationship we have with God the Father. We are simply stewards of what he has given us. He deserves his share of the fruit that is produced in our lives. But like the tenants in this story, we often reject the messengers that call us back to our master and owner.

One of the most famous stories told by Jesus is the parable of the Prodigal Son. This story is found in Luke 15:11-32. In this story there are two sons. Each of these sons had a broken relationship with their father. In each situation the father responds with love and patience. The story is a picture of our relationship with God the Heavenly Father. Our relationship with the Father is one that is broken, but that is not because of God’s doing. In this story we discover the power of God’s love and forgiveness and how God is just waiting at any moment for us to turn back to him.

January 6 is recognized as Epiphany. On this day we remember the visit of the Wise Men (Magi) to the the baby Jesus as they offered their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. One of the most recognizables symbols of Epiphany was the star. It was through the star that God revealed the birth of the Messiah to the Wise Men. God still reveals himself to those who have ears to hear and hearts to receive him. This message is receiving what God is revealing through both the joys and challenges of life.
