    When Jesus shrouded truth in parables, He was of sorts "dancing" with us. This sermon compares the mystery of a man / woman relationship with the mystery of the relationship of Christ and his Bride, the church.

    Matt 13:13-15 "Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ’Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; for ...read more

    This could be anyone of us, what would these people think if they knew what I have done. Face this Giant and watch him fall. We must remember that the church is a hospital for sinners not a rest home for saints.

    The Giant of Desperation. There is a desperate person who sits in the corner of the assembly today. Dry mouth, moist palms, scarcely moves for fear of detection. He feels out of place in a room full of saints, but where else will he go? He has violated every belief he every had, he has hurt ...read more
