     | 6,516 views

    Only one of the four soils produces. Three of the four soils reject the seed. The problem isn’t with the seed but the soil. It’s the same seed that produces a great crop in the fourth soil that goes away in the first three soils.

    Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. There’s something beautiful in the way those on the outside react when they first hear the gospel. One person when he recently began to comprehend the message of Jesus, recently asked me: “Do you mean to tell me that Adolf Hitler could receive ...read more

    First in a series of messages that examine Jesus' parables from the perspective of a minor or unsympathetic character.

    Several years ago I came across a book by J. Ellsworth Kalas titled Parables from the Back Side. The author’s introduction to the book begins with these words: Familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt, as the saying puts it, but it often breeds something potentially worse, the glazed ...read more

    A Life Of Turning Aside

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 24, 2024
     | 2,028 views

    This world is full of distractions and diversions. God wants us to minimize both and spend time with Him. This message is about Satan's purpose for diversions and distractions.

    The song we sang said “I’ll praise until my breakthrough. I will praise because I trust you.” Sometimes we need to be reminded that faith and trust, oftentimes, requires patience and it requires endurance. It requires us to be willing to hang in there and continue to do what we know we need to do ...read more

    Knowing God personally gives us strength to persevere faithfully through weariness and opposition, trusting His grace to sustain and complete the work in us.

    God’s grace makes us new, freeing us from the past and calling us to live with hope, purpose, and worship in Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with a pocket full of yesterdays. Regrets that still ring. Promises we meant to keep. Prayers that feel unanswered. You can almost hear the echo of the past in your soul. But there is Another Voice—steady and kind—that breaks through the static. He says, “Behold, I will ...read more

    Following Christ means embracing sacrifice and perseverance, trusting God’s presence and strength through hardship, and finding lasting hope and purpose in Him alone.

He lets you stand nearby, sleeves rolled up, and learn the rhythm of the work. That’s how Paul speaks to Timothy in this passage. ...read more
