    The preciousness of God, God's Love, What's really Important

    Lost and Found You know, Jesus had a way of cutting through all of the pretentiousness that he encountered during his time on earth here. He cut right to the chase so to speak. Jesus used to, as my grandmother King used to say “Just knock off the icing and get to the cake” Jesus knew ...read more

    21. The Kingdom Parables – The Sixth – The Pearl Of Greatest Price – Part 1 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 27, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 113 views

    The Parable of the Pearl of Greatest Price is one of the most misunderstood of all parables. The conventional thinking is challenged because there is only one true interpretation for this parable. Some very lovely truths come out about the Lord and the Church, the Bride for whom He gave all.

    21. The Kingdom Parables – The Sixth – The Pearl of Greatest Price – Part 1 of 4 We are working through the Kingdom Parables of Matthew 13, seven of them, and today we start the sixth one, which is about a pearl of the greatest value and perfection. In this study we look at the Parable itself, ...read more

    Our stewardship of what God has entrusted to us.

    A RIGHT USE OF OUR TALENTS. Matthew 25:14-30. A “talent” (Matthew 25:15) was a small gold coin valued at the equivalent of fifteen years national minimum wage. Whatever currency we translate that into, it is bound to be tens of thousands - and more. Five talents was enough to provide one of our ...read more

    Are You Prepared For Jesus' Return?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 9, 2005
    based on 16 ratings
     | 10,446 views

    A short sermon which asks whether we are prepared for the return of Jesus. Are we like the 5 virgins (bridesmaids) who had plenty of oil, or like the 5 who were not prepared?

    As Jesus told this parable he was already well into a lengthy explanation of events surrounding his second coming (Matthew chapter 24). He spoke this before his death and resurrection, but it concerns his second coming. Jesus has said (Matthew 24: 14) that “this gospel of the kingdom will be ...read more

     | 10,096 views

    We come full circle with the parables of Jesus. As we close this series, we are reminded the God’s Kingdom work starts small and seemingly insignificant but through God’s work becomes greater than we can imagine.

    The Parables of Jesus The Mustard Seed and The Yeast Matthew 13:31-33 September 20, 2009 This week we will return to Matthew and look at two small parables that are connected together but give us two varying perspectives of the kingdom. These are the parables of the mustard seed and yeast. If you ...read more

    Priority Of Concern Series

    Contributed by Wayne Mock on Feb 4, 2011
     | 5,731 views

    People can have many priorities. Jesus expects His followers to have priorities based on His value system, not the value system of the world.

    There are many things in life about which we can be concerned. We can be concerned about the weather – when will it be warmer? We can be concerned about the economy – especially if we are being directly affected by the recession. One’s health is also a matter of concern to many people. This ...read more

    24. The Kingdom Parables – The Sixth – The Pearl Of Greatest Price – Part 4 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 29, 2025
     | 115 views

    The final posting on the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price looks at the church at Philadelphia again, then moves to the period of Church History that is represented by this parable. It is not a denomination or a particular church. It is explained in the message.

    24. The Kingdom Parables – The Sixth – The Pearl of Greatest Price – Part 4 of 4 In this final Part we look especially at the place the Parable of the pearl of greatest price has in Church History as we have done with each of the parables. Before that though, there is a bit to finish off from ...read more

     | 6,127 views

    An overview of contemporary study of the historical Jesus and a look at who Jesus believed himself to be.

    Who was Jesus really? Not just who do Christians think Jesus was or who do I think Jesus was, but who did Jesus himself think he was? The question of the identity of Jesus is a question that continues to spark incredible interest among people. Last Monday night I went to Borders Books and Music in ...read more

    THE FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING (LUKE 17:11-19) An English proverb says, “Familiarity breeds contempt.” It's a sad fact of life and a sad commentary on life that people are likely to take advantage of those they work with, associate with and live with.
