    A message about seeds how they are hidden influences in our lives. We need to nurture the good ones and remove the bad ones.

    Has God Finished With Israel?

    A short talk asking an important question. This parable has often been used to say that God's promises to Israel have all been transferred away from Israel and given to the church. Is this what Jesus was saying? Who was he talking to?

    When Stevie Wonder appeared on Top of the Pops and sang, “I just called to say I love you” – who was he singing to? Was it the studio audience? Was it the wider TV audience? Or was it the person on the other end of the phone? I’m almost certain it was the latter. Does it ...read more

    An interwoven set of stories reflecting on the parable of the eccentric employer

    We are in the one hundredth anniversary of the first World War at the moment, so I would like to take you back to an event that happened in the middle of it.

    In my feeble mind, there are some perplexing things in the word of God that do not measure up. Logically speaking, from the human standpoint I have some disagreements with God. God and I do not see eye to eye on several issues. I

    WHERE GOD AND ME SOMETIME DO NOT AGREE! Matthew 20:1-15 20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius[a] for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3 “About nine in the ...read more

    From Wretched To Blessed

     | 3,308 views

    The religious leaders of Isreal were removed from the kingdom of God because of their rejection of the prophets and of Christ. As Christians, Christ has placed us into His kingdom, that we would serve Him by handing over the fruits His righteousness produces.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “From wretched to blessed” Two weeks ago, we heard Jesus tell a parable about a vineyard, and how the owner of the vineyard paid the same wage ...read more

     | 203 views

    Today we must see that even those entrusted with the Kingdom can lose their focus and fail to produce the fruit in the Master’s Vineyard.

    Background to passage, Matthew 21:33-45: Remember this is the last week of Jesus’s life (and with conversations like this, it’s not surprising). Do know that everything happened just as God foreordained from before the foundation of the world. Jesus has been challenging the Jewish leaders from ...read more

    Of Grace And Envy

     | 5,112 views

    How is the Kingdom of heaven to be understood in light of laboring for Christ while the world enjoys the pleasures of sin? The parable of Jesus in Matthew 20 is helpful here.

    Matthew 20:1-16 Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard Jesus introduces this parable saying that the kingdom of heaven is like this. That's an impressive, if not disturbing introduction to this particular parable for many reasons. I believe that the kingdom of heaven in Matthew's gospel applies ...read more

    As long as there have been people in the world some have tried to cheat others. In the Parable of the Vineyard, that is exactly what happened.

    Having served most of my ministry in rural east Texas, several of my church members have done some farming. And over those years I became at least somewhat familiar with sharecropping, particularly a form of it that they called farming on the halves. At first thought, I would never have imagined ...read more

    Good morning, church family! I trust you're all doing well today. We are here to dig into God's Word and unpack a profound truth from the Gospel of Matthew.

    Cornerstone Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 3, 2022
     | 4,233 views

    Placing the stone in your hand at the foot of the cross means that you are willing to no longer see yourself or the world as the guiding force at the center of your life and remind you that Jesus is the Cornerstone that guides our hearts, our thoughts, and our actions.

    Cornerstone. The “cornerstone” is the first stone that is set when you start building with stone or brick. It’s the most important part of the building because the position of all the other stones or bricks are determined by the cornerstone. [Hold up piece of paper or bulletin.] Imagine that ...read more

    A Labor Day and Communion message, dealing with the sources of satisfaction in work. Designed for audience participation.

    Labor Day, and school is starting again. I wonder, do they still do the same things as when I was in school? Do they still have the same rituals? Maybe not. Things do change. Dodgeball, for example. Now that was THE game in my day. You had the right to throw the ball as hard as you could and ...read more

    This message distinguishes between the false guilt that many labor under, and genuine conviction of sin.

    Guilt Free Living When I was a kid, there was a dairy stand called Cluxton’s not far from where we lived. I couldn’t number the times that we would be driving by and my dad would say we needed to stop and get a LARGE milkshake or banana split. He used to tell my brother and me that banana ...read more
