1. The Parable of the Good Samaritan: In this parable, a man is robbed and left for dead on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite pass by without helping, but a Samaritan stops to care for the man, taking him to an inn and paying for his care. This parable teaches the importance of showing compassion and helping those in need, regardless of their background or social status.
2. The Parable of the Prodigal Son: In this parable, a younger son asks his father for his inheritance early and squanders it on reckless living. When he returns home, expecting to be treated as a servant, his father welcomes him back with open arms and celebrates his return. This parable illustrates the themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the unconditional love of a parent for their child.

1. The Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-9)
- Explanation: A farmer sows seeds in different types of soil, representing different hearts of people. Seeds that fall on hard soil do not sprout (rejecting the word of God). Seeds on rocky soil initially take root but wither away due to shallow roots (superficial faith). Seeds on thorny soil grow but are choked by cares and riches (worldly distractions). Seeds on good soil produce a fruitful harvest (receptive hearts).
- Moral: Different soil conditions represent the varying responses people have to the gospel. It highlights the importance of genuine faith, receptivity, and perseverance.
2. The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)
- Explanation: A man is robbed, beaten, and left for dead. A priest and a Levite pass by but ignore him. A Samaritan, who is typically despised by Jews, takes pity on the man and helps him.
- Moral: Love and compassion transcend religious and ethnic boundaries. True neighborly love is based on empathy, not on outward appearance or social status. The parable challenges the exclusivity of religious affiliation and emphasizes the importance of practical acts of kindness.
