    A sermon for Church Anniversary

    Jesus said, ‘every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure-store both the new and the old.’ This rather odd little verse is probably a kind of signature from the writer of the Gospel. It’s as though he was giving us a hint about ...read more

    based on 5 ratings

    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?

    based on 60 ratings
     | 12,284 views

    Wheat and Tare believers were both grown in God’s Kingdom but can be differentiated as they grow, as they mature and as they bear fruits.

    "...who hath ears to hear,let him hear." is the conclusion of Our LORD regarding this message, and this is also the words imparted to our churches nowadays. Many supposedly Christians are attending our Services every Sunday but why is it that they do not live enough to the power of God’s ...read more

    THE FIELD IS THE WORLD. Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:36-43.
