    Matthew 13:24-26 - Toxic Or Transformed? – Part 9 Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 13, 2011
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,602 views

    It is called “Bastard wheat” because in its early stages it cannot be distinguished from real wheat. “When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew” (Matthew 13:26 NLT). I’m sure Jesus was looking at the Pharisees when He told this pa

    Matthew 13:24-26 - Part 9 – TOXIC OR TRANSFORMED? He didn’t look much like a missionary to me. He was built like a tank in terms of muscles. Not the way I pictured a missionary should be. He should have been skinny from lack of support from his home church, with an old brown cardigan. ...read more

    Fishers Of Men

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014
     | 5,412 views

    Well Jesus knew that many of the people he would have as his early disciples would be fishermen because it is one of the main ways people made money in that part of the world. So he went out to get his disciples and this is what he said, “follow me and I will make you fishers of men.”

    Good morning. I want to start by asking you something. How many of you have ever been fishing before? Well I have. I enjoy getting out in the sun on the lake. It’s nice. But you know what I really enjoy doing when I go fishing? Actually catching fish. Wednesday night we talked about ...read more

    Children Of Light

    Contributed by Thadius Sales on Mar 27, 2020
     | 5,925 views

    Out of the darkness comes the light. Every workday, at dawn’s early light, Kevin Napier crawls into a long, black hole. Coal mining is safer than it used to be, though it’s still dusty and dirty, and there’s always concern that something terrible could happen deep inside a cramped shaft.

    Ephesians 5:8–14 NRSV 8 For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord, you are light. Live as children of light— 9 for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. 10 Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but ...read more

    On Tuesday night I found myself, like probably many of you, up late watching CNN or whatever your favorite news outlet is. I finally went to sleep in the early hours of the morning praying asking God to work this situation out according to my will, I am just being honest.

    Sleep In Heavenly Peace

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 15, 2021
     | 5,073 views

    I read an article where the writer posed a question: "what keeps you up at night?" It's too early to think about Christmas songs but I thought, 'what better sleep could there be than to sleep in heavenly peace?' Let's see how.

    SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE There are times when it's hard to get to sleep. It can be because we had caffeine too late in the day or we had a snack too close to bedtime and now we're paying for it. Then there are other reasons-you have a deadline to meet and you're not ready. You have an ...read more

    The God of the Zero Hour is the God who shows up at the very last moment, when all hope seems lost, and performs what seems impossible. His timing is always perfect, and He is never early nor late. Just when situations appear to be at their worst, He intervenes in ways that bring glory to His name.

    Part 7C, for the purpose of using space coveniently, combines the subjects--although not directly related--of (1) false Christs, prophets, and teachers and (2) various gifts and their accompanying functions.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years.

    All Those Who Wander Are Not Lost: A Study In Nothingness

     | 1,890 views

    Much of my early life was lived by such reverberations. I don't want to bash it. It had it's appeals. No burdens, no responsibilities. Just drift about. Ironically enough I live in a similar way today at times. I'm in the arms of God. I have no idea what will happen today.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,779 views

    Would you baptize someone on Halloween? One preacher refused to do that because he saw Halloween as a focus on death... and he didn't want the young girl he was baptizing to become confused by the aura of death in the season, and having that connection ruin her walk with Christ.

    Ordinarily I read a Scripture before each sermon because anything the Bible says is more important than what I have to say. But today I'm not going to do that. The text will still be there in the body of the sermon, but I'm not reading first because I don't want to spoil the surprise. ...read more
