    the measure of man as viewed in the light of his suffering

    THE MEASURE OF A MAN Acts 21:27-40 In looking at this passage tonight, I was more prone to call it the measure of the man than I was to say this is the arrest of Paul. It is the arrest of Paul, but it is the measure of the man who is seen in the midst of the circumstance that interests me. I ...read more

    The message looks at Solomon’s rise to the throne of Israel.

    Folk sayings are easily remembered, but not always understood. People talk about "walking the walk" and "following in the footsteps" of others, about "taking a stand," "standing firm," and "standing tall." These sayings, along with many traditional proverbs, are all commonly expressed folk wisdom ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,762 views

    In this parable Jesus is comparing the younger son to the tax collectors and sinners who came to Jesus. The elder son represented the Pharisees and religious rulers who continually found fault with the teachings of Jesus.

    A Parable of Two Sons Luke 15:1-2, 11-32 “Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisaical teachers of religious law complain that Jesus was associating with such despicable people – even eating with them.” Luke 15:1-2 The Pharisees and ...read more

    In whom or what do you put your hope? We know that some people put their hope on money and wealth and some people put their hope in people. A hope that is placed on anything other than Jesus Christ is a false hope because hope is only as reliable as the p

    Scripture Lesson: Colossians 1:15-29 In one of the Peanut’s cartoons, Lucy and Linus were sitting in front of the television set when Lucy said to Linus, "Go get me a glass of water."

    Called To Conquer Pt.3 (Taking The Land) Series

    Contributed by Mark Baker on Nov 3, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,986 views

    In this study let’s look at the ultimate goal of a conqueror. That is to take and inhabit the land that God has called us into. What would be accomplished if we could take the land, but not inhabit and maintain what we have been given?

    In this third study I would like to again start with the words of the Apostle Paul, and define what a conqueror is. Romans 8:37-39. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor ...read more

    This message focuses on giving as outline by Jesus Himself. It was a part of a series I preached on the parables.

    “Making Sense Out of Dollars” Luke 16:1-15 Last week we began a new teaching series I have titled Tell me the Stories of Jesus. We are looking at some of the stories Jesus told through the use of parables. One of the ways we could describe a parable is that it is an earthly story with a heavenly ...read more

    Contributed by David Smith on Nov 5, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,565 views

    It is not the wisdom. It is not the miracles. It is not the things about Christ that we need the most. It is Christ - God with us - His flesh, His blood - food and drink.

    I don’t know what your week has been like, but I’ve had a week that has been full of typical priest-type things: visiting the sick and organising weddings, baptisms and funerals. Indeed, in the next few weeks we’ve got two baptism scheduled, there’s one wedding next Saturday, and tomorrow I have a ...read more

    Jesus, the one who taught us love and forgiveness, tells us that we need to hate our parents! ...

    Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be ...read more

    I must admit that I was drawn to this passage this morning because it had a refreshingly urban feel about it. If you’re familiar with the parables and metaphors used by Jesus, you know that He often spoke using rural images - speaking of shepherds and sheep and fields and harvests. And you could ...read more
