    Jesus doesn't just plant the seeds of the kingdom and then disappear. He sticks with us for the long haul. He nurtures the seeds of faith and helps us to grow.

    Don't you just love a baptism? You have the beautiful little baby, the parents and God parents making promises to both child and God. And you have the water and the word. God promising to adopt this child into his family and make him or her his own. There's a lot of stuff going on ...read more

    Let us understand where we find genuine Christianity deeply within people’s hearts.

    Intro, Purpose & Plan Are our hearts downtrodden, like a well-worn path? Are our hearts hard, lacking stick-to-it-iveness or thorny, laden down with worldly cares. How can we learn to become like rich soil that receives the word of the kingdom and produces a rich harvest? Let us understand where ...read more

    In his parable of the sower and the seed, Jesus shows us various kinds of spiritual heart trouble. From the story, we learn to share our faith indiscriminately, trust God to bring the growth, and cooperate with God in the growth he wants to bring in us.

    Matthew 13:3-9, 18-23 Heart Trouble Have you ever wondered why some seem to embrace God’s good news of salvation and others don’t? Have you ever wondered why God sends people to hell? Or maybe they send themselves there, as they reject the God who desires that all people be saved. Jesus used a ...read more

    God often orchestrates events designed to bring people to a decision. This message examines that in the light of Scripture and personal experience. This church is being called upon to live out 1 Chron. 7:14.

    Exodus 19:1-25 5/29/16 I want to begin this morning by reading Ex. 19. This week, as I was reading this chapter, God spoke to me concerning our journey as a church and as individuals.

    Jesus Himself suggests a different reason to that which His disciples might have expected.

    THE PURPOSE OF THE PARABLES. Matthew 13:10-17; Matthew 13:34-35. It is possible to ‘Like’ Jesus without really ever knowing what He is all about. For some, He is a wonderful teacher, making ‘it’ all so much ‘easier’: yet what is ‘easy’ about, for example, Matthew 5:21-22 or Matthew 5:27-28? ...read more

    It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.

    “To throw alongside” a story with cryptic meaning is called a parable in Greek. In Zen Buddhism, a parable is like a “koan,” which is a spiritual inquiry using perplexing language intended to rouse a student’s innate wisdom-mind to apply it to their own life.

    This message is corresponding to this parable told by Jesus. A timely but important lesson especially for our brothers and sisters who serve our Lord and Savior. In this life, we are plagued with the various journeys we all face in our lifetimes.

    Here Jesus tells us that are four types of hearts that will believe and receive The Word of God in this life. Three of the ways is the dangerous way while one is better than the other three types of heart we will look at in this message. First, Jesus is talking to the ones with: I.THE HARD ...read more
