  • An Unfamiliar Kingdom

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Jul 27, 2014
     | 4,901 views

    While we all have preconceptions about what the kingdom of heaven is and isn't, Jesus uses parables to force us to rethink what the kingdom is.

    What is it that the Gospel message presents? I don’t simply mean today’s Gospel lesson, but the capital-G “Gospel.” The Gospel is not merely, “Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.” The proper name for them is the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The ...read more

  • Your Elevator Talk

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 29, 2014
     | 2,579 views

    We need to take St. Peter Chrysologus as a model for our witnessing, and be able to tell our witness to Christ and the Church in less than a minute.

    July 30 2014 St Peter Chrysologus Today’s Gospel must be specially important to the Church, because we heard it on Sunday, and Monday, and again today. Because it is so brief, we might be tempted to think otherwise, that it is forgettable. But we forget it at our peril, at the peril of our ...read more

     | 5,366 views

    A look at how God wants to bring thirty-fold, sixty-fold, or a hundred-fold harvest into our lives. It looks into what exactly that means for our lives.

    HOW MUCH IMPACT DOES GOD WANT TO HAVE THROUGH YOUR LIFE? Does your life’s impact resemble an overflowing orchard basket or a Charlie Brown Christmas tree? - Matthew 13:8, 23; Mark 4:8, 20; Luke 8:8, 15; John 15:5, 8. - Let’s talk about these two images for a moment. - Image #1: the ...read more

  • The Sower: The Flower Approach To Life Well Lived

    Contributed by Dustin Bumgarner on Aug 13, 2014
     | 9,650 views

    Jesus told the Parable about the Sower (or Farmer, as I've written throughout). This sermon displays a unique approach to that parable, along with a special acronym of FLOWER. We must use the FLOWER method in our everyday walk with God.

    Intro: How many people here have gone to the local Farmer’s Market to get you some fresh produce? Imagine taking a bite out of a sweet, juicy watermelon. In order to bring that fresh watermelon to you, the farmer or grower would have to do some digging (pun intended) to find out the perfect ...read more

  • Lessons From The Pearl

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 18, 2014
     | 10,461 views

    Because of the pearl’s unusual characteristics, they are symbolic of many deep spiritual truths. Two examples might be the formation of the nature of Christ in us or as a symbol of the resurrection body.

    LESSONS FROM THE PEARL Matthew 13:45-46 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. JOKE # 1 a. A mechanic accidentally swallowed some brake fluid and really liked the taste.

    First in a series of messages that examine Jesus' parables from the perspective of a minor or unsympathetic character.

    Several years ago I came across a book by J. Ellsworth Kalas titled Parables from the Back Side. The author’s introduction to the book begins with these words: Familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt, as the saying puts it, but it often breeds something potentially worse, the glazed ...read more

  • Evil In The Kingdom Series

    Second in a series. The Parable of the Weeds helps us understand why there is evil in the midst of God's kingdom.

    Do you ever wonder why it’s often so hard to be a follower of Jesus? Perhaps like me, you once had some well meaning, but naïve person tell you that if you would just give your life to Jesus all your problems would go away, only to find out that is far from reality. I look around this room ...read more

  • Separating Good From Evil

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Nov 10, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,226 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
