Contributed by Gilbert Sefaranga on Mar 30, 2019

Biblical parables reveal hidden truths concerning the Kingdom of God. Judgment, behavior, and/or Biblical principles. An interesting thing about the Parables that Christ taught is the fact that what He often seeks to reveal is hidden.

Victory Is Where We Live

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 25, 2017

When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit.

Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 20, 2024

Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. ...read more
