    Doesn't Everyone Go To Heaven?

     | 3,069 views

    Our world today will try to convince people that ultimately everyone goes to heaven. God makes it very clear that is not the truth.

    I mentioned last Sunday that the world tries to convince people that there is more than one way to get to heaven. God showed us in Scripture that His Son Jesus told us very plainly that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one gets to the father unless they go through Jesus. But ...read more

    Two Parables of the Kingdom of God.

    A MUSTARD SEED AND LEAVEN. Luke 13:18-21. I. A Mustard Seed. LUKE 13:18-19. A mustard seed is about the size of a pin-head: and in the right climate, the plant might grow big enough to hold the weight of an adult male. I have heard of a man who built a swing in his mustard tree; another was ...read more

    The Narrow Gate.

    It is not so much a matter of how few will be saved, as how long the gate will be open.

    THE NARROW GATE. Luke 13:22-30. LUKE 13:22. Jesus was on a journey to Jerusalem. It was a journey with a particular purpose. We are told back in Luke 9:51 that ‘when the time was come that He should be received up, He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem.’ Jesus was steadfast in His ...read more

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 2 Of 5 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 31, 2025
     | 184 views

    We continue with an examination of the parable of the Sower and look at the seed that fell on the hard, barren pathways and beside the road. What are the birds of the air? How does the devil snatch away the sown word? This is a very instructive parable.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 2 of 5 In the first message of the Parable of the Sower, we studied the introduction to the 7 Parables of the Kingdom from Matthew’s Gospel chapter 13. We looked at the seed being sown and the four types of soil. All the ...read more

    Discipline And The Joy Of Following Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 19, 2025
     | 227 views

    We must all accept discipline so that we will receive the “peaceful fruit of righteousness” owed to those who are trained by discipline.

    Twenty-first Sunday in Course 2025 As a teacher, I used to tell my students there’s a good way to find out what the teacher finds important in a lesson. Here’s the rule: write down anything the teacher says more than once. That’s what is likely to be on the test. Today St. Luke shares a question ...read more

     | 131 views

    God has the power to reverse situations, elevate the overlooked, and promote those considered last.

    THE GOD WHO MAKES THE LAST FIRST By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Mark 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.– Mark 10:31 INTRODUCTION: Life often presents situations where the humble, the overlooked, or the last in line feel forgotten or undervalued.

    Enter Through The Narrow Door!

     | 578 views

    In this Gospel Lesson we hear our Savior speak words of warning and encouragement. Jesus said that there is only one way to enter heaven. He said that we should make every effort to: “ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW DOOR”

    “How do you get into heaven?” A Sunday school teacher asked that question of her 2nd grade class. It seemed like a simple question for a group of little Lutherans. But no hands went up. Silence. Crickets. The teacher was confident that the students knew the answer, so she waited patiently. ...read more

    Near To The Kingdom But Lost

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 27, 2025
     | 506 views

    In this sermon, we will examine the dangers of being close to salvation but not fully embracing it and how to ensure we enter the kingdom of God.

    NEAR TO THE KINGDOM BUT LOST By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 1:1-12 Supporting Texts: Mark 12:28-34, Matthew 7:21-23, Luke 13:24-27, John 3:3-5, Acts 26:27-28 INTRODUCTION There is a great tragedy in being close to salvation but still missing it.

    The Moment To Decide

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 2, 2024
     | 351 views

    Every generation has a defining moral question, often between life and death, but always between good and evil. In the nineteenth century, it was for the right to choose ownership of other humans, or against the exploitation of slaves.

    Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Course 2024 Today’s Gospel hits the lukewarm Christian right in the gut, if it first has an encounter with his head. Christ’s disciples have asked Him if there will be only a few humans saved. Jesus jumps right to the main point, telling them something more ...read more

     | 559 views

    Jesus tells us to focus on the humility and meekness of our faith and its influence on others. Tiny things can have great endings.

    The Influence of the Kingdom November 10, 2024 Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Luke 13:18-21 We have been away from the parables for a few weeks as we looked at the issues of spiritual blindness. We only have a few more parables to go in our study. This week I want to invite you ...read more

    This morning, as believers, we too are up against something that seems insurmountable and that is to stay on the narrow road.

    Opener: Good morning Church! We are so glad that you are here fellowshipping with us this morning! We are in the middle of a series on Nuggets from the sermon on the mountain. We are discovering a few life changing moments from Jesus sermon found in the book of Matthew chapter seven. Last week, ...read more

    Heaven On Earth

    If we are not identified to be a part of this spiritual Kingdom of God, we cannot enter the physical Kingdom of Heaven when we die. Our self-life is the main enemy of the life of Christ. The Bible calls this ‘flesh’.

    Mathew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”. We notice through the scriptures, there are phrases like Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven. God says everyone doesn’t get into heaven but only the violent ...read more

    Sound Judgment And A Firm Foundation (Matthew 7:1-20)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 24, 2024
     | 341 views

    Jesus' Sermon on the Mount concludes with warnings about hasty judgments and the assumption that the work you do for the LORD is not necessarily a sign that you are one of His followers.

    Matthew 7:1-5: The Process of Sound Judgment Judges render decisions in courts of law based upon evidence presented by advocates for both accused and accuser. He examines both sides of the arguments and their merit. He consults with both parties if need be as well as do research on similar ...read more

    Jesus warns that just because we have done "works" for Him doesn't mean that we know Him personally. Be certain of your own salvation and have built your home upon the Rock.

    Dr. Frank Turek, noted Christian apologist and evangelist, has referred to Matthew 7:21-23 as the most terrifying words in all of the Bible. It is a warning against assumption, intentions, works, and false belief, all being evidence that Jesus Himself will use on the Day of Judgment as a warning ...read more
