    The failure to live by the gospel is found in people’s hearts.

    Jesus’ Parables We come to our first parable this morning, so we ought to consider before we get into it, what is a parable? I’ll give you a starting definition. A parable is a picture with a point. The picture may be a story such as the tale of the good Samaritan. It may be an ...read more

    Jesus is saying, “I, the lamp, have come with the light of the gospel. Don’t cover me and my message over as many of you are doing. Let the lamp shine openly. The reason that you hide my light is that you really prefer something else which is less than

    Introduction We are back to the parables this morning. In contrast to our extended metaphor of the sower and his soil conditions, we now come to a collection of short images and sayings. Remember how I said that usually it is the context that makes the parable’s meaning clear? The peculiar ...read more

    The kingdom of God is mystery. Whether we are asleep or awake, whether its seed seems small or large, it will generate life that is abundant and rich.

    Introduction A number of years ago at the prodding of a neighbor, who was also a church elder, my wife and I ventured into the mystical world of gardening. A section of our yard had once been a rose garden that one minister had lovingly cared for and another pulled up, so that it was bare when we ...read more

    Faith starts small and grows when we nurture our growth with God's unfailing Grace and Love

    From Small Beginnings… June 18, 2006 Mark 4:26-34 Sometimes things are not as they appear to be. This parable has long been used to describe the amount of faith one would need to be used by God.

    You can’t handle the Truth! But God can make you so that you can.

    SERMON NOTES: THE POINT OF PARABLES Why isn’t God doesn’t God speak more “directly?” 1. Because hearing implies doing [Deuteronomy 5:1 – 29; 1 Cor 10:13; Jude 24] 2. Because Coercion isn’t Conviction [2 Sam 23:15 – 16 / 1 Chronicles 11:16-19] 3. Because He already has [Luke 16:19 – 31] ...read more

    Fruitful Christian Living

     | 14,248 views

    Jesus said that we, as His disciples, are to bear fruit. God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it. The fruitful, the multiplying, and the other things are not all the same thing; in other words, it means mor

    I must admit, that while I’ve read this little section of Scripture many times, I have usually read over it pretty quickly, not taking the time to understand it’s meaning. Here’s a man sowing some seed, and the next involvement he has with it, is when he comes to harvest it. Now, we understand ...read more

    For Martin Luther King Day. The words we offer fall into the thorny thicket of anxiety, despair, and distraction. Like King with his dream, we the church can give hands and feet to help those so captured.

    Our back yard is a thorny thicket. Other people have manicured lawns, with friendly plants laid out in neat rows. But our back yard is a tangled thorny thicket. Along one fence there are blackberries, growing in long canes that have to be tied up lest they wander into the next county. They ...read more

    A Kingdom Picture

    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,030 views

    I used to think the phrase, Kingdom of God, meant only some future time, but I have come to understand that it means the Christian experience under the Lordship of Christ.

    I wonder what you think of when you read or hear the phrase, “Kingdom Of God?” Perhaps you think of some future time, when there will be perfect peace and no problems, when the ferocious beasts of the forest can be led around by little children. That’s what I used to think it meant, but I have ...read more

    The Small Seed

    The Kingdom of God will grow because God is working. Growth comes from Him and it has nothing to do with the size of the seed.

    Both parables set out to teach us, "What the Kingdom of God is like." Note two things,(1) Growth is taking place because God is working, (2) Growth has nothing to do with the Size of the Seed Growth comes from God. Jesus uses the illustration of a farmer to emphasize this point. • The farmer ...read more

    Light is of no use if it is not prominently displayed. This message examines our stewardship of the Light we have been given.
