    Today, I want to examine two of the Parables that the Lord taught. First, let’s read about “The Parable of the Mustard Seed.”

    In Matthew 13:31-32, we read, “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so ...read more

     | 2,644 views

    Have you ever heard someone say, 'I don't care what people think about me'? Should we care what people think about us? Well...yes and no.

    SHOULD I CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME? John 8:48-54 Have you ever heard someone say, 'I don't care what people think about me'? Most of the time when I hear someone say this there's an edge to it, telling me that deep down they really do care; otherwise their tone would be ...read more

     | 2,962 views

    Being a mother is a huge responsibility and a very tiring job. Therefore, today we want to appreciate them and learn from four mothers in the Bible. Even though they are not perfect, we can learn something from them.

    Opening: In 2002, after Brenda Heist dropped off her children at school, she disappeared. She never made a call or sent a letter to her daughter, who was just eight years old, and her son was just ten years old then. But ten years later, suddenly, she reappeared. When Piers Morgan interviewed her ...read more

    Modern ‘Profits’ are always quick to point out they 'prophesied' a current event before it happened

    I previously gave a message entitled “Does God Give Ministry Mulligans When Prophecy is Wrong?” As a non-cessationist, I am saddened, but not surprised, to say that there continue to be genuine Bible academics who are making myopic and poor apologetic attempts to rationalize and justify the ...read more

    Jesus ditches the old ways of coming to God, in favor of the new. And He did not apologize for doing so, nor did he asked permission or approval from people who were stuck with the old ways.

    In as much as we love to hold on to the year/decade, that was, it is not the wise. The old has gone, and the new has come! We embrace all that God has lined up to prepare His Bride for His imminent return. We must continue to evolve as an individual and as a Church family. Nonetheless, our biblical ...read more

    Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

     | 2,691 views

    The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

    SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

    Matthew 7:24-29 is a Biblical parable that points to the necessity for obedience. In that parable, Jesus illustrates His point through three things in that passage of scripture which are the construction site, the storm's test and the results of the test.

    Jesus had come from Judea and had already passed through Samaria, and now was in Cana of Galilee, where He had performed His first miracle, as recorded in John 2. Now He’s again in Cana and He will encounter someone there who has a need that only Jesus Himself can fulfill.

    Introduction During our Lord’s ministry on this earth, He must have had people asking Him many times if He would heal someone. Gracious as He was, He never turned anyone away. Whether the person was very poor, like the woman who had spent everything she had but never was cured, or a foreigner like ...read more
