    We are the branches in His vineyard. God watches over us, and works in our lives, for the purpose of bearing more fruit. Glorifying God is our life’s purpose.

    These were the parting words of Jesus, as He would soon be betrayed, to be judged and crucified. • The disciples will be separated from Him for a while, having been with Him for 3 years. He will return as the resurrected Lord in their lives. They need to stay focus and faithful to Him, to ...read more

    When anything new comes along, we struggle to know what should be preserved and what should be discarded. This struggle may seem new, but it is an age-old problem. Jesus in this discourse helps us to preserve the best of both worlds and the danger of putting new wine in old wineskins.

    Sermon: Preserving the Best of Both in the Church World Scripture: Matt 9:10-17 “As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew (Levi) sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He said to him, “Follow Me [as My disciple, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of ...read more
