Parables Concerning The Kingdom, Part 2 (Matthew 13:24-58)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 18, 2025

The Lord Jesus continues to teach the people through the means of stories, or parables. Each parable presents a description of the coming kingdom and judgment.

Matthew 13 contains a series of parables that are heard by the crowds, but only a few would take the effort to really hear, understand, and apply what the Lord Jesus was teaching. He has presented stories about good and bad soils that represent how people receive and apply the Word of God to ...read more

The Weight Of A Few Words - At Thy Word

Contributed by Loyd C. Taylor on Aug 21, 2023

In this sermon we look at the weight of a few words, or how just a few words spoken by Christ had a major impact on the lives of those who listened and obeyed.

INTRODUCTION: We so seldom think about the impact that our words have on those who are listening, however in many cases we find others hanging onto our words. This is especially true of preachers, so we must be careful what we say. Our words can have a negative or a positive outcome, I’m sure we ...read more

Contributed by Jamie Bogaard on May 2, 2017

Peter is excited that Jesus is alive but filled with guilt and goes back to his old way of life. Jesus isn't done with Peter yet and brings him back to his call to be a fisher of men. Do we think Jesus gives up on us when we fail or can we still be used

Empty Boats!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 18, 2013

Our lives are cluttered with electronic gadgets, agendas, projects, seminars and entertainments that many have seldom quiet time with Him. No wonder we have lost the fizz in our life!

Empty boats! Luke 5:2”Jesus saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.” When Jesus looked at the empty boats and the fishermen who had gone away to wash their nets, He knew it was a hopeless situation! Boys had closed shop ...read more

The Final Post Resurrection Appearance In John's Gospel Series

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Apr 24, 2020

Peter had failed Jesus by denying him 3 times and Jesus forgives him by allowing him to negate each of the three denials. We will fail but when we come to Jesus he will restore us

Jn 21:1-19 Introduction As I mentioned last Sunday and also on Easter Sunday, John records only four of the Post Resurrection appearances of Jesus.

Faith That Waits Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 10, 2026

When God’s ways are confusing and His answers delayed, true faith anchors itself in God’s unchanging character, wrestles honestly without accusation, and chooses watchful waiting rather than walking away.

In the first message of this series, we met the prophet Habakkuk crying out to God in prayer. The fading memory of King Josiah’s reforms only intensified his anguish, highlighting just how far Judah had fallen. No longer were the people allowing the law of the Lord to guide their lives. ...read more
