     | 3,083 views

    In Church we will often find both wheat and Darnel growing side by side in the pews.Should we try to root the Darnel out and purify the church so we only have wheat (as we of course perceive it)

    Mt 13:24-43 I came across this interesting story. I cannot vouch for its authenticity however but it makes a good point. Story: A man was stopped at a traffic light and when the light turned green he was distracted and didn’t budge. The lady in the car behind him started honking her horn again ...read more

The title of my message today is, “When People See Me – What Do They See?” Now of course the obvious answer is they see us right? But is that true? Do they see “us,” or do they ...read more

    The Lord Jesus continues to teach the people through the means of stories, or parables. Each parable presents a description of the coming kingdom and judgment.
