    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jul 25, 2011
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,579 views

    What God is doing is hidden. It must be searched for and we must have eyes to see. When we believe this, it changes the way we see life and how we live.

    I am one of those people who sometimes wishes that God would show his power and do something spectacular. I would like to see some fire fall from heaven, or hear God shout from his throne. It would prove to some people that he is there and that he is powerful. I wish I could lay my hands on ...read more

    In Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus tells a parable that helps us understand. It’s a parable that answers this very question, If the kingdom of God is here, why is there still evil?

     | 12,911 views

    We are not the final judge of the world-that is God’s job. We are to remain faithful to God’s word even during hard times, but if we do go astray, we have opportunities to mend our ways. We have the time and the grace we need to make changes.

    Those of you who have tended lawns and gardens know how important it is to keep weeds under control. You have to pull them out or use chemicals. It’s a lot of hard work, especially if you have to figure out what is a weed and what is a good flower or blade of grass. After all, sometimes the ...read more

    We live in a world where wheat and weeds live together. How we live can convert the weeds to wheat. This sermon looks at a four step program to accomplish this.

    Last week we acknowledged the existence of two spiritual kingdoms. There is the kingdom of sin that established itself in rebellion against God’s rule. And there is the Kingdom of Jesus that is crying out for us to rise up against the kingdom of sin. We also acknowledged the fact that we ...read more
