    A relationship with God, His Son Jesus and His Holy Spirit is the most valuable aspect of life.

    This week we begin a summer series entitled, Tell Me A Story. “Tell me a Story” is a simple way to reference Jesus' use of parables to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson. I think my favorite stories come from ordinary people who stumble across something valuable. Like the woman who ...read more

    What Is The Kingdom Like?

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,557 views

    Beyond the self-denial of following Christ, beyond the daily discipline, beyond the cross to be carried, lies the most precious thing, a thing of supreme and unsurpassed beauty: life in the Kingdom, under God and for God and with God!

    When you open the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark and Luke, it seems that more often that not, Jesus is speaking in some parable. With colourful language, Jesus places things “side by side,” comparing and contrasting, and drawing out from the picture he paints some truth or teaching. Sometimes the ...read more

    God's Power Toward Us Who Believe

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Mar 3, 2021
     | 4,178 views

    Man has always sought unlimited power. God has given believers just that. What is this power that God has given us, and how do we avoid squandering it?

    I) The search for unlimited power has been constant theme of history. A) Politically, we see this in attempts throughout history to rule the world. For example, Alexander the Great ruled Greece at the age of sixteen and soon set out on a conquest that saw him ruling most of the known Western ...read more

     | 5,016 views

    What is the kingdom of God? What is this kingdom of Heaven in these two parables? William Barclay offers this helpful definition: The kingdom of God is “a society upon earth in which God’s will is as perfectly done as it is in heaven.” Are you the Pearl of Great Price?

    The Kingdom Of Heaven

    We see in the text a different idea of what heaven is like, It like a mustard seed, it like Yeast, Its like a treasure in the field, and its like a net.

    The Kingdom of Heaven Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52 1. Jesus wants us to know what Heaven is like many many places in the Scripture we learn about Heaven • The Scriptures say God dwells there Ecclesiastics says God “God is in heaven • Texts tells us it’s a city, Matthew tells us it’s a garden, John ...read more

    The Parable Of The Net

     | 4,538 views

    God catches all kinds of people---people from all walks of life. God is not willing for anyone to perish (II Pet. 3:9) which is why God gives us the free gift of His grace. God chooses us but not everyone chooses to have a relationship with God. God also wants us to choose Him.

    THE PARABLE OF THE NET Text: Matthew 13:47 - 50 Have any of you ever auditioned for a role or a part in a school play? How about applying for a job? How many of you have tried out for a sport, hoping that you would make the team? For those of you who auditioned for a ...read more

    Just as the dragnet sweeps in all kinds of creatures, the kingdom will contain all kinds of people; meaning that God isn’t picky about who enters into heaven, so long as they confess Jesus as Lord and are committed to living for Him.

    This evening we will be looking at “The Parable of the Dragnet.” What in the world is a dragnet? William Barclay says, “The dragnet is what we know as the seine net, a large net which has corks at the top and weights at the bottom so that it stands, as it were, upright in the sea. Ropes attached ...read more

    In Matthew Jesus frames up the Jesus Life by speaking about the Kingdom of God. Not a physical kingdom with walls, a castle, and a throne. It is a spiritual Kingdom. Jesus is our King.

    Are you ready for the truth? Growing up in this world there was always a splinter in my mind. I was taught a particular way of life. I didn’t see anything beyond it. Life was a happy accident. Get rich. Have a family. Pay your taxes

    “The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters.

    Every act that you perform is a seed of one kind or another. Something will grow from it. What will your seeds produce?

    Wars have been fought over differences seemingly smaller than the contrasts we see between the five parables in this passage from Matthew’s gospel.

    Most scholars believe Matthew was written between 70 and 85 A.D. (C.E.) He combines the 7 parables to explain the reality of why "good" exists along side of "evil". (movie Sound of Freedom) an example. Why are believers even in the church failing?
