     | 17,740 views

    Third in a series on Matthew 24 & 25, this message focuses on the mandate to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us since Jesus is coming back and we don’t know when.

    Because Jesus Is Returning . . . "Be Faithful- Matthew 25:14-30" I like reading bumper stickers. Sometimes you get an unusual combination of bumper stickers on one car that give an unintended message. One such combination was funny. One read: JESUS IS COMING! and the one next to it said: ...read more

    Following the guidance of the Holy Spirit and being willing to get out of our comfort zone.

    A lot had happened to the church since where we left off in chapter four. Persecution of Christians broke out in Jerusalem (primarily at the hands of Saul), the Christians have become targets, so all but the Apostles flee Jerusalem. Doesn’t sound like a very good situation, people forced to ...read more

    Contributed by Larry Thompson on Oct 11, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,708 views

    This message examines the heart and the play on words...do you have a "whole-heart" or a "hole-heart" - Using scripture the difference becomes obvious...especially when we talk about money and stewardship of our possessions.

    The Test of Two Hearts…Whole or Hole? Matthew 6:19-21 - ©Dr. Larry L. Thompson (2006) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and ...read more

     | 17,509 views

    The Story of Philip ministering to the Ethiopian eunuch teaches us the value God places on each human soul. The world might not treat us as anything special, but we are precious to the Lord.

    Easter 5 Acts 8:26-40 4**-2*-85*5 is a very important number to me. Can you guess what significance there is in those numbers? It’s not a phone number…it’s what Uncle Sam calls me.

    based on 28 ratings
     | 18,765 views

    As the light shines, the hostile opposition to it, & thus to Jesus the light bearer, grows. It was now dangerous for Jesus to appear at the Feast of Tabernacles. Despite the danger Jesus follows His appointed path but with wisdom.

    JOHN 7: 1-13 [The 5th Discourse] THE COURAGEOUS CHRIST [Leviticus 23: 33ff] John chapter 7 conveys the reactions of the world to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Again and again throughout this Gospel John has emphasized the difficulty and ...read more

    Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth and the light for the world. He compared our relationship to the world with salt and light. What does this mean? Why does Jesus compare us to salt and light? What is the significance related to this?
