Parables
Relationships
Mercy, forgiveness, and neighbour-love shown through self-examination, costly care, and restored relationship.
Money
Wealth and stewardship tested through trust, accountability, generosity, and the exposure of false security.
Integrity
Hearing and doing aligned as hidden truth is revealed and lives are tested by what they produce.
Hearing is not enough; doing is the foundation.
Light is meant to be seen; hiddenness is temporary.
The kingdom contains mixture until final separation.
Faith
Trust that endures delay, remaining watchful, patient, and ready for sudden return.
From small beginnings to surprising reach.
Delay exposes character; accountability is real.
Repentance
Entering God’s reign through responsive hearing, changed direction, and lives that bear fruit.
One word, four soils: reception determines fruit.
Prayer
Prayer shaped by persistence and humility, trusting the Father rather than performing for others.
Sacrifice
Decisive surrender made gladly when true value is recognised and counted worth the cost.
Discipleship
Formation of followers shaped by humility, obedience, and learning to live under a new way.
The new cannot be forced into old forms without loss.
Corruption
Refusal and hypocrisy exposed as spiritual danger when God’s authority is resisted and rejected.
A warning about unqualified guides and imitation.
Rejected servants, rejected son, and judgement on unfaithful keepers.
