What's Your Favorite Jesus Parable & Why?

Well, yesterday we finished the series based on the life of Joseph; “How to Keep From Going the Wrong Way.” Through these talks we’ve tried to answer the question; What was it about Joseph that caused him to succeed in everything he did? “Because the Lord was with him” really has a lot to do with it but why was the Lord always with him?

From the pit to the palace Joseph always responded in a way that pleased God …with humility. When his brothers, what we may call “good for nothings” came to Egypt to buy grain, Joseph, with a snap of his fingers, could have had them all executed but…he didn’t. He said; “Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”

So, what is it that God is looking for in us? It’s the same thing that He saw in Joseph; Humility, it’s what keeps us from going the wrong way in life.

This Sunday I’ll begin a new message series based on the parables of Jesus. What’s your favorite story that Jesus told & why? I would love to hear!
