Parables in the Bible: Luke 15:1-32
Jesus often communicated difficult truths and ideas through parables--stories meant to illustrate a concept. This passage contains several of his most famous parables, although he told many others in the course of his ministry.

Greed in the Bible: Luke 12:14-21
Greed--an insatiable desire for wealth and earthly possessions--is condemned repeatedly in the Bible. In this vivid parable, Jesus reminds us that we "can't take it with us," describing a rich man whose vast horde of wealth did him no good when he died.

Barns in the Bible: Luke 12:16-21
In this parable, Jesus tells us of a man whose crop was great, so he tore down his old barns and built bigger barns. The man then stored up his goods and food and laid back to relax. That very night God spoke to the man and said that he would die.

Debt in the Bible: Matthew 18:21-35
This parable tells the story of a man whose debt was forgiven by his creditor... who refused to pass that same mercy along to somebody who owned him money. Refusal to forgive others when God has forgiven us amounts to a rejection of God's grace.

Parable of the Sower in the Bible: Matthew 13:1-23
This parable of Jesus uses the metaphor of a sower spreading seeds as a way of illustrating that people respond in different ways to the message of the Gospel. Some hear and take it to heart; others reject it; but the "sower" continues to make the message available to all.
