Come Unto Me: An Exposition Of Matthew 11:16-30

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 27, 2020

Jesus' invitation to come to Him has an "or else" component to it.

Come Unto Me: An Exposition of Matthew 11:16-30 The Gospel lectionary text selection for what is called Proper 9, seems at first to be quite odd. The selections are Matthew 11:16-20 and 11:25-30, leaving out what is between. The first selection talks about the people rejecting the message of both ...read more

Are There Hierarchies Of Christians In Heaven?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 20, 2020

There is a growing belief that the better a Christian behaves or does things for God, the greater their rank and job responsibilities will be in the heavenly kingdom - and they will also be rewarded with a deeper relationship with God.

There are primarily two schools of thought that have emerged over the years about what the reward of Heaven will be.
