The Sermon On The Mount (Part 16) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 13, 2020

For many people, their priority in life is material prosperity. When you hear the phrase, 'well off' or, 'well to do', it refers to someone who is wealthy. As we'll see today, those who have stored up treasures in heaven will truly be, 'well off' and 'well-to-do'.

Both a Slave and Free GOOD MORNING. Words can be a problem. They don’t always convey exactly what you are thinking, and that’s one reason Jesus uses parables to teach concepts and ideas rather than just saying words. Not only does it stick better, but it conveys feeling that goes beyond the words ...read more

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what manner of salutation this was.” Luke 1:28-29 "What Manner?" goes ...read more
