    The parable of the talents has more importance than we often understand. We used this sermon as a way of introducing gift centered ministries.

    OPEN: We use numbers all the time without knowing their significance or their meaning. For example: How many feet in a mile (5280 feet). Do you know why? The term mile come from the Latin word "mille" - meaning 1000. To the Romans it was the distance a soldier could cover in 1000 paces - about ...read more

    In a busy world, where do we put God in the priorities? This is the first in a series of "seeking first" & prioritizing our lives.

    The 3 R’s Matthew 6:33 Matthew started this verse with a conjunction (joins words or groups of words within a sentence)“but.” I believe it is inserted here and a central focus on how we can live what He gave to us on what is popularly known as “the sermon on the mount.” Sounds like a classroom ...read more
