    based on 4 ratings
     | 653 views

    Jesus' arrival brought the Kingdom of Heaven to earth and opened the door for us to become citizens of God's Kingdom. We need to repent and align our lives with the Kingdom of God.

    Jesus' arrival was a big deal, and it was predicted way back in the Old Testament. The Jewish people were waiting for this hero, the Messiah, to show up and set things right. John the Baptist was like the hype man, telling everyone, "The Kingdom of Heaven is coming. Get your act together and ...read more

    Imagine this: You're walking down the hall at school and you see a group of kids struggling to carry a huge box. The teacher is just standing there, watching. Then, out of nowhere, the principal comes over, rolls up his sleeves, and helps the kids lift the box. That's pretty cool, right? That's ...read more

    The five-fold ministry resulted from Christ’s ascension to heaven. These gifts were released by Christ during His ascension and are therefore also known as the ascension gifts. The full expression of the ministry of Jesus requires the full 5-fold ministry

    The Ministry Gifts Ephesians 4:7-8 - But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” Ephesians 4:11-16 - And He Himself gave some to be apostles, ...read more

    God recreates the whole life of those who give up small ambitions and admissions.

    Read Matthew 13.44-46. Pray. Introduction Matthew again pairs two parables to press on us all the more forcefully one point. Last week we heard two parables of hidden and growing power. The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, small and insignificant, but hidden in the dirt it grows to ...read more

    These two verses give us answers to the most important questions of life. How do I have eternal life? How can I get my sins forgiven? How can I know for sure I will go to heaven when I die? How can I have peace with God?

    Romans chapter 5 gives us the ultimate peace plan. That is peace with God. We are talking about something that is exceedingly better than following a religion. We are talking about a relationship with our Creator God. These two verses give us answers to the most important questions of life. How ...read more

    based on 97 ratings
     | 8,234 views

    One of the greatest parables ever told was the story of the Pharisee and the Tax collector. The story is great because it has plot twists and leads to a surprise ending. The word righteousness means “right-standing”. To be righteous means to be in right

    Camels And Needles

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 8, 2025
     | 377 views

    Jesus said that it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Totally impossible - and yet, not for God. We explore the idea in a children's / family service with the help of some glass ships in glass bottles.

    THIS WAS A TALK FOR A FAMILY SERVICE, GIVEN IN THREE PARTS. PART 1: A glass ship in a glass bottle Perhaps you have a jug at home that’s made of Pyrex.

    What Happens To A Person’s Soul After Death?

    Contributed by James Linders on Nov 6, 2015
     | 6,967 views

    Unlike animals OUR lives does NOT end in the grave, because OUR souls were brought to life when God breathed HIS spirit into our nostrils on the sixth day of creation. We are either destined for heaven OR hell. THIS depends on God's grace and OUR faith.

    ” Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.” Some religions believe that a person’s soul goes to ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 16,455 views

    In Philippians 3, Paul describes our Christian life twice by using a race analogy. It is an effective analogy. For like in a race, we have a reason to run (or cause). We keep our eyes on the prize, and we are encouraged along the way.
