    Repentance is a term that isn’t used outside the church. However, many within the church do not understand it’s meaning either.

    14Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.

    Contributed by Howard Gunter on Nov 12, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,614 views

    How we use our gifts are more important than their monetary value. It isn't the size of the gift, it's the motive in the giving!

    Not Our Talents BUT Our Use of Talents Matthew 25:14-30 This parable provides us with a message that can be and often is misunderstood. The talents referred to in the parable are monetary units.

(23) And all the multitudes were amazed and said, "Could this be the Son of David?" (24) Now when ...read more
