     | 12,708 views

    Freud once noted that people (with a few exceptions) were worthless. God said that we were worth the price of His Son. How much you think people are worth will determine who you agree with.

    Several years ago this advertisement was placed in a New England are newspaper: "Unknown item for sale. We know it's valuable; we just don't know what it is. If you can identify it, we'll sell it for $250.” (Reader’s Digest 9/02 p. 145) Sometimes it’s hard to decide what something is worth. My ...read more

    Parables of sower and mustard seeds

    Mark 4:1-34 “Word Problems” INTRODUCTION What is the difference between a fable and a parable? A fable is primarily didactic, a clever story meant to offer some insight into and instruction about life – think Aesop’s Fables for a moment. A parable, on the other hand, ...read more

    Trust The Seed

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 28, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 19,528 views

    The parable of the sower, or more appropriately the Seed, is a parable about truth and what happens when truth is rejected. Ultimately, it's a parable of encouragement.

    We’re going to be in Mark 4 this morning. Most historians agree that the book of Mark, in a sense, is Simon Peter’s autobiography. Mark wrote his epistles based on his conversations with Peter. So, when you read Mark look at how choppy it is. It’s not like the book of Luke which sacrifices few ...read more

     | 3,142 views

    This is a mini sermon used to exhort the congregation before the giving of tithes and offerings. It's designed to help them understand why Jesus' mission (saving souls) must be their mission and the role giving plays in accomplishing it.

    Turn with me to Matthew 4. We’re going to read verses 17-20. (17) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (18) And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the ...read more

    All Lives Matter

    We can learn how to treat one another by the example of how Jesus dealt with children. Jesus dealt with children in an anticultural manner.

    To fully interpret and understand Jesus' words, one must understand the culture in which he lived. Children were treated differently than they are today. That does not mean that parents did not love their children as much as parents do today. Parents loved their children because they were ...read more

    Can The Church Be An Obstacle To Discipleship For Jesus?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021
     | 625 views

    Is it possible that some of the doctrine, rules, and regulations of the church be a stumbling block to becoming a disciple for Jesus? Yes, it was definitely one for me and I still struggle with it.

    {You may want to read Mark 4:1-9, This is the actual parable that I am speaking about. } [Why parables?] 10 As soon as He was alone, 1 His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. 11 And He was saying to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom ...read more

    However, it clear from Scripture and history that many have perished, are perishing, and will perish. Only those who fight a good fight and finish their course will be saved.
