Everyone loves a good story and a good storyteller.

But there is no storyteller like the Lord Jesus, and there are no greater stories told than the ones Jesus shared.

In this study, spiritual stories, we consider the parables Jesus told

and their application to us. These are truly the greatest stories ever told, and the Lord

has something He wants to say to you through them. Let's join Scott Pauli now.

Have you noticed that we are camped in the gospel according to Luke right now?

We're on a string of stories that are recorded by Luke alone,

and they're one right after another, after another.

This must have been one intense Bible conference that these multitudes and disciples were enjoying with Jesus.

We've come to another today in Luke chapter number 12.

In fact, it is two stories with one truth.

Jesus often would couple brief parables together, and so we find that.

In Luke chapter 12, beginning in verse number 35, down to verse number 40,

where he said, let your loins be girded about and your lights burning,

and ye yourselves like in the men that wait for their lord when he will return from the wedding that when he comeeth and knocketh they may open unto him immediately blessed are those servants

whom the lord when he come shall find watching verily i say unto you that he shall gird himself and make them to sit down to meet and will come forth

and serve them. And if he should come in the second watch or come in the third watch and find

them so, blessed are those servants. And this know that if the goodman of the house had known what

hour the thief would come, he would have watched.

And not have severed his house to be broken through.

Be therefore ready also for the son of man cometh at an hour when you think not.

Did you hear the two stories?
