    The parables of Jesus are the “open secrets (mysteries) of the kingdom of heaven”. Parables are ‘spiritual’ truths — truths about spiritual things which cannot be seen with the eye of sight, only seen with the eye of faith

    When its tempting to wonder if walking with God is really worth it - think of Psalm 73

    As we turn to Psalm 73 let me ask you a question. · Have you ever wondered why it seems that the people that are prospering in this world are those who have no respect for God or His ways? · Has it every grated on you that those who are trying to be obedient to God and live a life in right standing ...read more

    Blossoms In The Dessert - The Victory That Only Faith Can Bring Series

     | 7,686 views

    Abraham and Lot. Two believers. One trusted God, and the other trusted in his own achievement, power and wisdom. The question for us as we examine their lives and story is simply this. Who do you trust?

    As we come to Genesis 13, we find a chapter that gives us a powerful contrast between two very different people, Abram and Lot. While we are tempted to think that Lot was not a true believer, 2 Peter 2:7–8 tells us that he was indeed a believer, "And if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly ...read more

     | 2,612 views

    Jesus often taught in parables and referred to them as such, but in this passage there is no mention of it being a parable ... this is the story of an actual event, and He makes it very clear that each of us has a choice on where we will spend eternity, because our life choices do matter.

    Lessons from the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke, Part 8) Luke 16:19-31 Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for believers to explore -- We see Luke’s interest in humanity (it’s genuine, rem: career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how Jesus interacts with ...read more

    14th Sunday after Pentecost, 3-year Series C, this sermon explores the comparison of testimonies made by the blood of Abel (demanding vengence) and the blood of Jesus (providing forgiveness.)

    The text for today’s message is taken from the Epistle Lesson to the Hebrews which we read just a few moments ago, especially these words: “18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 22a But you have come to Mount Zion, to ...read more

    The Consequences Of Obeying Or Disobeying God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 19, 2015
     | 10,782 views

    God always plans things so that we will have the chance to witness about Jesus. We have to be open to these chances. We must always be ready to witness about Jesus. To do so, we must be familiar with God's Word.

    The readings from 1 Samuel 13:5-18 and Acts 8:26-40 are interesting studies of contrasts. The contrast is the consequences of disobeying God verses the consequences of obeying God. The reading from 1 Samuel 13:5-18 shows what happens when we disobey God. King Saul was told to wait and let the ...read more
