Episode 366: The Parables of Jesus and the Mercy of God (Message 4: The Message of Jesus)

Pastor Mark Reynolds' Podcast

In this week’s message, we explore how Jesus used parables—simple, surprising, and often unsettling stories—to open our eyes to a radically different way of living under God’s reign by focusing on The Prodigal Son and The Good Samaritan. These timeless stories reveal the extravagant mercy of God—and challenge us to extend that same mercy to others, even those we might find difficult to love.
💥 Discover how parables disrupt our usual thinking and invite us to rethink justice, compassion, and what it truly means to live in God’s Kingdom.
💔 Be moved by the reckless love of the Father.
🌍 Be challenged to see your "enemy" as your neighbor.
💡 Be invited to live a transformed life, shaped by mercy.
Listen now and discover the transformative power of mercy.
