    Purpose Driven Strength - Purpose Driven Life Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 22, 2004
    based on 114 ratings
     | 19,902 views

    Paul rejoiced in his weaknesses and hardships and difficulties... was he crazy? No, he had learned the source of strength in his weakness.

    OPEN: Years ago, the story was told of a Sunday School teacher who – on the Sunday before Thanksgiving - was encouraging the children in her class to share things they were grateful for. A little boy was asked what he was thankful for, and he thought for a moment. Then the boy went through a ...read more

    Behold The King: The Cross Before The Crown

     | 6,613 views

    God’s desired will — with omissions and out of sequence — is no longer God’s will. The cross could not be bypassed. Jesus had to wear the crown of thorns before He could wear the crown of the Kingdom.

    Behold The King: The Cross Before the Crown (Various Portions of the Gospels) 1. One blogger writes, “Today, I was waiting at the bus stop and noticed a girl that I played netball with. I ran across the road to meet her and she ran across the car park to meet me. We hugged and looked at each other ...read more

    Grace: It’s So Much More Than God’s Favor

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 19,858 views

    In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the Lord tells Paul "My grace is sufficient." If God's grace is all Paul needed to deal with the messenger from Satan, perhaps there's more about grace that we need to know and understand.

    I have been reading 2 Corinthians 12 about the Apostle Paul and his pleading with God three times to handle “a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan” sent to stop him from preaching the gospel. The Lord’s response gives me goosebumps. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for ...read more

    The Christian life may have many roses, but it also has many thorns that scar.

    I can remember before I was saved hearing that your life will be full of sunshine,rainbows etc when you gave your life to Christ. And there is the problem, we tell people that and even after they are the prosperity preachers pile on that lie and when it doesn't pan out people get discouraged and ...read more

    Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A- The Sower

    Even in the fruit-bearing hearers of the word there are gradations.

    I saw a neighbor working in his front yard wearing a funny T-Shirt that said, “Sorry I Can't My Plants Need Me.” In today’s parable from Matthew, chapter 13, the seed is the Word of God (verse 20), and the ground is our hearts (verse 19). It all depends on what kind of soil a person is because ...read more

    James and John were naturally talented and dedicated to the Lord. Their mother, just like many mothers today, wanted the best for her children, and so a few days before Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, she made a request in behalf of her children.

    The Parable Of The Sower, The Seed And The Soils

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 28, 2005
    based on 127 ratings
     | 69,550 views

    Jesus explains the conditions of entry into God’s Kingdom - He is the Sower, the Seed is His Word and men and women are the Soil, either "Bad-Soil" - along the Path: responding NO; on the Rock: YES & NO; among Thorns: YES BUT; or "Good-Soil" : YES!

    The first recorded parable of Jesus is “The Parable of the Sower” (Matthew 13:1-23) but it’s equally the story of the seed and the soils. Earlier that day He’d had a confrontation with the Pharisees and religious lawyers about His claim to be the Son of Man and the great gulf that separated them ...read more
