Matthew 13:11-14

Infinitum is a way of life centered on following Jesus by loving God and loving others through an emphasis on the habits and disciplines of surrender, generosity, and mission. We aim to see the Bible and also the world through these Jesus-colored lenses. This short reading plan considers Generous Evangelism.

Why did Jesus preach in parables? Why did He only explain what the parables meant to His disciples, in private, and not to everyone? In this three-day devotional, you will learn why Jesus used parables to teach, whether we should use them, and why they are helpful to us.

Jesus used parables to teach others, and these still speak to us today. Many parables are well known; others less so. Some bring comfort; others correction. Some are easy; others difficult. Of all parables, we hear a take-away message that sounds right & fine, but may miss the key point – likely because that teaching is so difficult. In this devotional, we take a closer look at this most difficult parable.

Is there a time when God stops pursuing us? The scary answer is yes. God is merciful and He gives us chance after chance. But our chances are not infinite. Eventually time runs out. This devotional will explore what it looks like when a hardened heart refuses God’s welcome so many times that He stops asking.
