    God is committed to us and we are called to be committed to Him. The mutual search reflects the value seen in the one being pursued.

    A compelling commitment: 3 stories, 3 views I once borrowed a tan, leather sports coat from my brother. He was not using it, and I was headed back to college, so he lent it to me for the semester. I liked it so much that I brought it back next semester, but I didn’t tell him.

    A sermon that looks at the parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value in light of the surrounding parables.

    Do you know where the phrase “buy the farm” comes from? It is actually rather recent in its usage. It started perhaps during WWI but certainly by WWII, having been recorded only in the 1950’s. Professor Jonathan Lighter has compiled the origin in the Random House Dictionary of American Slang. ...read more

    Even though the rich blessings God intends for us may appear to be of no more value than a seed or a handful of yeast we should not deceive ourselves.

    Lectionary 17 A Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52 This morning we heard a number of “One – Line Parables” that Jesus used to describe the Kingdom of God to illustrate how God’s power and authority is visible and expressed in our world.

    The Parable Treasure And Pearl / I Surrender All

    What, then, do the parables teach? Church fathers such as Irenaeus and Augustine identified the treasure and the Pearl with Christ. The recent convert to Christianity says exactly the same thing: "I found Christ." Yes, it seems like we did find Christ.

    In his series of seven parables in Chapter 13, Matthew is quite elaborate ....... on the first two, providing an interpretation for each. The other five are shorter and more pointed in content. The parables of the hidden treasure and of the pearl consists of two sentences each. And in the ...read more
