In this final episode of the parables series, Costi Hinn unpacks two parables that Jesus uses to explain what the kingdom of heaven is like (Matthew 13:44-46).

When a lawyer stands up and publicly tries to test Jesus in order to embarrass Him with a question, the Lord responds with a question of His own. What follows that moment is one of the most well-known parables in history called “The Good Samaritan.” In this episode, Costi Hinn walks you through this parable and explains the core truths that Christians should apply as they seek to love God and their neighbor.

In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks Matthew 20:1-13 and the parable of the vineyard workers. In this passage, Jesus highlights the nature of God’s sovereign grace and His prerogative to save who He wants to, when He wants to, and use them however He wants to. This episode will be a great encouragement to those who may feel like a second-class citizen in Christ because they are late bloomers when it comes to salvation.

In this episode, Costi Hinn explains the parable of the four soils (also called “parable of the sower”) in which Jesus delivers clear and convicting truth about human hearts and how they receive the seed of the Word. Many people don’t understand this parable, but Christ makes it easy to interpret as He provides His own explanation in Matthew 13:18-23.

In this episode, Costi Hinn explains the meaning of Jesus’ parable about two men who went up to the temple to pray one day. Themes in this episode include justification by faith, humility, repentance, self-righteousness, and salvation.

In this episode, Costi Hinn continues his series through the parables by unpacking truths from Jesus' teaching on the prodigal son that speak to lost souls and religious hypocrites. Themes include sin, repentance, grace, self-righteousness, and forgiveness. Whether you're a long-time Christian or new to faith, the lessons from this parable will bring you back to the foundation of salvation and God's love for us.

Some people are ready for Christ to return or call them home, and some are not. Some people are living for themselves but think they are saved, while others are humbly living their life for God’s glory. In the parable of “The Ten Virgins” Jesus arrests the eternal perspective of His audience by showcasing how once the Lord returns, it will be too late to be saved. Today is the day of salvation.

Jesus warns us to be careful of being unforgiving in light of how forgiven we are. In this episode Costi Hinn unpacks the parable of “The Unforgiving Servant” and reminds us why all Christians forgive, and clarifies what forgiveness is not.

In this new 8-part series, Costi Hinn walks through several key parables and teaches how to interpret them. Whether by allegorizing them or misapplying them, many people miss the point of one of Jesus' most prominent teaching tools. This series will make you more confident and knowledgeable in your understanding of parables and help you apply them faithfully in your walk with the Lord.
