In today's episode, we're looking at the parable of the Good Samaritan and asking what it means for us today.

Who can you be a neighbour to today?

Jesus thank you that you gave everything for us to enter into eternal life with you. Lord would you give us eyes that see the people around us and hearts that are moved by compassion to act, freely sharing your love with those we come into contact with, knowing that there’s more than enough to go around. Would you give us opportunities to be a neighbour to someone today. In your precious name Jesus, amen.

In today's episode, we're looking at the parable of the persistent widow and asking what it means for us today.

Where are you at risk of losing heart today?

Father God you alone know what is right and good and so we humbly bring our requests to you once again and ask that you would strengthen us to keep doing so and to not lose heart, to wait for your justice that will surely come, and in the meantime to rest in the truth of your goodness. Shape us Lord that we might continue to look more like you and desire the things you desire. We love you Lord. In the precious name of Jesus, amen.

In today's episode, we're looking at the parable of the vineyard workers and asking what it means for us today.

Will you stop striving and comparing and accept God’s way of justice and grace?

Or, in Jesus’ words, are you envious because He is generous?

Jesus thank you for paying the price for our sins so that we can freely accept your grace that we don’t deserve. Help us to rest in the truth of your generosity and goodness, to slow down, replace our striving with trust, to replace comparison with celebration and to seek your justice that’s defined by love. May we be more like you. In your precious name Jesus amen.

In today's episode, we're finishing our look at Luke 15 with the second part of the third story in Jesus' Lost Things trilogy, and asking what it means for us today.

Is there someone you need to forgive today?

God thank you for this great story that just highlights how good your heart is towards us, and how faithful you are towards us. Lord for those of us who identify with some of those older brother traits, would you highlight them to us Lord, would you transform those areas that aren’t quite like you. Would you help us to really see people, and love them, and forgive them Lord. In the same way that you see and love and forgive us. In your precious name Jesus, amen.

In today's episode, we're continuing our look at Luke 15 with the third story in Jesus' Lost Things trilogy, and asking what it means for us today.

What comes to mind when you think of the Father’s heart?

Lord thank you for this wonderful story that highlights your giving and reconciling heart. Thank you for the mercy that you extend to each of us when we least deserve it. Help us to walk in the truth of your love today. Shape our hearts to become more like yours and help us to celebrate the lost becoming found, knowing that there’s more than enough to go around. We love you Jesus, in your precious name amen.

In today's episode, we're looking at Luke 15, or at least the first two stories found there - the lost sheep and the lost coin - and asking what they mean for us today.

Have you let yourself be found, or are you still trying to earn your way back home?

Thank you Jesus that you seek us, pay the cost for us, and carry us home with joy. Help us to stop running and to rest in your love, not because we’ve earned it, but because you’ve already declared us valuable. Remind us again of your love, help us to accept it in greater measure, and pass it on to those around us. In your precious name Jesus amen.

In today's episode, we're looking at the parable of the talents/minas and asking what this means for us today.

Have you stopped to think what your mina looks like?

Thank you Lord for the investments you’ve put in each of us. For entrusting us with good things. We ask for your wisdom as we look to faithfully put it to work. Give us bold ideas and opportunities, not necessarily big, but bold, ideas and circumstances that require the addition of your power. We want to live in reliance on you, as we put your investments to work. Speak to us now Lord, reveal your plans, and help us to live faithfully until you return. In your precious name Jesus, amen.

In today's episode, we're looking at Jesus's first parable — the parable of the sower — and asking what this means for us today.

What’s the soil of your heart looking like at the moment?

Lord, we thank you for your grace and faithfulness. For your word that brings transformation, and for your Spirit who brings understanding. We ask for hearts that are like the fertile soil, able to hear and receive what it is you’re saying to us, so that we can produce a crop that’s many times what was sown. And help us to faithfully and lovingly sow in the lives of those around us, that we might see an even greater harvest for you. In your precious name Jesus amen.
