    Kingdom of heaven is like seed being sown. This includes seed sown is us to yield a harvest and us being sown as well.

    If we focus on the things around us and lose our focus in the matters that are really important, we may lose our souls, as well.

    We are going to be addressing a subject that is unscriptural, in name, but spiritually relevant in every other way. A. Though the word, “focus” does not appear in the Bible...........the practice of focusing certainly does. 1. We, as Christians.....must stay in focus. a. satan ...read more

    Help for the hurting heart.

    True spirituality is discussed a lot but seldom experienced in today’s world. Jesus faced the same problem. So the Lord used parables, stories of familiar things, to point out how unfamiliar people truly were with spirituality. Here in His famous story of the farmer scattering seed Jesus ...read more

    Attitudes to avoid because they promote shallow spirituality.

    Last week we looked at "surface spirituality", the soil that did not receive the seed because it had been "walked on" and was hardened. We learned that we can develop a hardened heart when others hurt us if we’re not careful. If we let our hearts become bitter and unforgiving the Word of God ...read more

    Christians are expected to produce "fruits worthy of repentance". This sermon contrasts "Our Works" with the "Fruits of the Spirit"

    The Form Of Discipleship Of Jesus (1 Of 3) Series

    Discipleship was not simply a program through which Jesus ran the disciples. Discipleship was life.

    In the New Testament mathethes occurs only in the Gospels and Acts. The term occurs at least 230 times in the Gospels and 28 times in Acts. The usage is characterized by the fact that mathethes denotes the men and women who have attached themselves to Jesus as their master. Acts has an absolute ...read more

    This is a sermon which compares the game of golf to the game of life.

    The latter portion of my text reads, "....and without a parable spake He not unto them." Today I will use a parable or a comparison to illustrate the game of life. It is obvious that the Apostle Paul was knowledgeable of the sporting events of his day. On numerous occasions he used athletics to ...read more
