Properly identify success One of the complaints some people have about expository preaching is they say it’s not practical. They say that when you just preach directly from the text of the Bible, you ...read more

    The Unmerciful Servant Series

     | 5,595 views

    Here we have both a reminder of just how great God’s love and mercy is and a warning about the need to respond appropriately, to demonstrate by our attitude to others that we’ve truly joined God’s family.

    I think we all relate to this story. We empathise with the poor servant who only owes a few dollars and is thrown into gaol by the culprit of the story. We feel the sense of powerlessness of the poorer servant. We feel the outrage of the other servants as they see this injustice being played out. ...read more

    From the lesson of the victory that was fought and won by Moses' hands being held up by the aid of others, we learn three things we must remember about this spiritual war.
