    We live as those who keep our lamps lighted--our lamp of faith, fueled by the Holy Spirit whom God the Father has sent through His Son.

    Intro Veiled underneath the noise and rancor of the new-year celebrations, a low thrumming makes itself known.

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Thief And The Servants) # 19

     | 2,058 views

    As we look at the coming of the Lord as a thief in the night, the emphasis is on the element of surprise.

    For example, a thief does not call the home that he plans to enter and say, “About one O’clock this evening I plan to arrive.” When he enters a home, he wants the element of surprise to be on his side.And the Bible tells us in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the ...read more

     | 5,225 views

    The two parables here serve to caution us about slacking off in kingdom work. We need to keep our waist girded and be ready for service; and be alert and watchful at all times, so we don’t miss opportunities to share the love of Christ.

    This evening’s message is entitled “Always Remain Watchful,” and it’s taken from two short parables commonly called “The Parable of the Faithful and Evil Servant” and “The Parable of the Thief.” In these two short parables Jesus spoke a word about faithfulness; the kind of faithfulness that leads ...read more
