    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018
     | 3,396 views

    The idea of Heaven works its way into every culture like the way that yeast works its way through the whole dough. Even in Communist China the Gospel of Jesus is being told and shared and people are coming to faith.

    It’s About Heaven Matthew 13:31-32 Matthew 13:33 Luke 18:1-8 Back to the Parables of Jesus Today we will quickly look at 3 of them. Did you know that the parables are about the Kingdom of Heaven?

    Biblical Joy

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,052 views

    Joy has often been defined as happiness; as a feeling; true, Biblical Joy has more to do with Faith than it has to do with feeling.

    Biblical Joy (James 1:2-4; NKJV) “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, [3] knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. [4] But, let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” ? A certain elderly lady was ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,266 views

    Waiting patiently on the Lord is an awesome witness. When He responds, others see the reality of God, His faithfulness, and the wisdom of our commitment.

This is especially true when we are waiting upon the Lord, who keeps to His own timetable. But believers who trust God to deliver are richly rewarded with the desires of their ...read more
