    Surprise Endings: When? Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 6, 2019
     | 6,052 views

It does not begin with “the Kingdom of heaven is like” - leading some to believe it is not specifically a parable. It is the ...read more

You brought your whole week with you, and that’s good, because the God who loves you meets you as you are. He is wonderfully near, whispering through His Word, “I see you. I ...read more

    based on 74 ratings
     | 10,974 views

    Outrageous conduct is not done for reasons of ignorance of God’s standards of truth, but is caused by self will, rebellion and one’s own sinful desires. Only the Lord’s love is able to break through to some stubborn hearts and minds.

    What Should I Do With My Disobedient Children? 1. Ask the Lord for help in resisting the declining moral tendencies in our society. Paul writes, "They disobey their parents, they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things ...read more

    This message opens up Paul’s spirtual mindset in refuting the religous self confident Jews. He explain despite the Law despite the covenant of circumcision how they too have fallen short of Gods standards in a game of spot the difference.

    If I am looking for evidence or justification that God is not concerned about me, that He randomly chooses to answer my prayers in totally abstract, dispassionate and sometimes brutal ways, imposing impossible standards upon me, then here it is. OR IS IT?
