     | 7,779 views

    Israel demands a king, but this only demonstrates the rejection of their real king - the LORD.

    Kingship in Judges and 1 Samuel 1 Samuel 8 It’s amazing how quickly a classroom can turn when a teacher walks out for a moment. Paper, hats, pens, shoes, glass bottles get thrown at fans.

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 24, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,008 views

    By teaching in parables, Jesus simultaneously revealed truths to his disciples, and concealed truth about himself from those whose hardened hearts had already rejected it.

    Isaiah 6:1-10, Romans 11:1-11, Matt. 13:1-3, 10-16 Why Parables? In preparation for today’s homily, I went to Amazon on the internet and punched up all the titles they had with the word “parable” in them. I got about a thousand hits. Next, I requested a listing of all the titles they had ...read more

    We are either fishers of men or fishbait. God has called us for a purpose. We either fulfill that purpose his way or he will have his way with us. God can be convincing whether we like it or not.

    Fishers of Men or Fish Bait Jonah 1, Matthew 12:39-41, Hebrews 11:36-38 Basically there are two things that Jesus wants us to do once we have accepted him as our Christ—once we have been born of the Spirit: First, Love one another as he has loved us… and Second, as we go about in this world we are ...read more

    Do we equate the things we love about our Churches with the authority of Scripture? You bet we do.

    What is the most authoritative part of the Bible? Is the New Testament the most authoritative part of the Bible? The New Testament is the New Covenant that Jesus Christ gave to us, that sure is a powerful thing. Could the Gospels be the most authoritative part of the Bible, because they are about ...read more

    We need to examine our lives to see how they match up to God’s expectations of us.

    I assume you’ve all heard of Socrates, the great Greek philosopher. He was sentenced to death in 399BC because he dared to criticise the immorality of Greek Society.

    When a five times divorcee who now has a live in boyfriend meets Jesus, what do you think will happen? John’s gospel reveals that honest hearts, even those laden with sin, can still hear His call.

    Beyond all Hope? 1 Tim. 1:12-16 records Paul’s confession and testimony of God’s grace in his life. Paul basically says, "If Jesus can save me, he can save anyone!" Have you ever known someone who was beyond help? Here in John 4 Jesus meets a woman whose life is a string of broken ...read more

    Too Busy Not To Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 13, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,614 views

    When we think we are too busy to pray, we are succumbing to the issue of control: either we suppose we can manage everything or we want to abdicate. Prayer is the way to find priorities and strength.

    Let me throw some numbers at you. Imagine that you were in charge of an operation that involves, on the average, some ten thousand people a week, almost all of whom come together at one time.

    Why was Cain’s sacrifice unacceptable to God?

    GENESIS 4:1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the LORD.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel.

    The opening scene of the book is tragic for we find three graves in Moab. Let’s notice the story behind these 3 graves.

    Edward Boone said, "The book of Ruth is the history of a Jewish family, who, like the prodigal of Luke fifteen, went into the far country of Moab and there "began to be in want." W.G.

    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,772 views

    We remember what matters to us. God asks us to remember what He has done for us, but our attachment to money competes with that memory. We need to remember what God has done among us and that His mission is for all to experience it. That will loosen ou

    Memory is a very tricky thing. You never know what you will remember and what you will forget.
