Compassion On A Crowd - Mark 6:30-34 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 19, 2023

Jesus needed a day off. But when he saw the spiritual needs of the people, his plans went out the window.

30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 1 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." 32 So they went away ...read more

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 21, 2023

Jesus sets up the scene with all the trappings of the Messianic Banquet, then proves he is the one who will bring it about by feeding the multitude.

35 When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late. 36 Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat." 37 But he answered, ...read more

The Miracle With A Purpose

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 30, 2023

Jesus challenged the disciples to solve an impossible situation because He wanted to test them, to see if they would turn to Him and to God for help. We can trust God to do immeasurably beyond what we ask or imagine.

Matt 14:13-21 - The Miracle With A Purpose Jesus did many miracles in the course of His ministry but the feeding of the 5000 is the only one recorded in all the 4 Gospels (Matt 14, Mark 6, Luke 9 and John 6). • All four writers find it significant enough to record it down.

Mercy For The Merciful

Contributed by Esther Collins on Jan 16, 2023

The Lord is merciful to us in so many ways, and we need to be merciful to others too.

Matthew 5:7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” While the world calls blessed those who are well-educated, wealthy, good looking and the accomplished, Jesus re-defined those who are blessed from a heavenly point of view. God sees not as man sees, for God searches the hearts of ...read more

Kingdom Keys - Matthew Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 12, 2024

The gospel of Matthew gives us four ways to understand the idea of being Thankful or Grateful as a Christian.

Jesus Christ: The Messiah, Not A Meal Ticket Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2021

When Jesus fed the five thousand, as recorded in all four gospels, He demonstrated what He taught about God being the Provider of our needs (Matthew 6:25-34). Most of the crowd, however, wanted food, not faith.

The Lord Jesus never taught anything about the nature and character of God the Father that He Himself did not demonstrate or model before either His disciples or the people who followed and listened to Him. When we first read of this miracle, mentioned in all four gospels, we see the Divine ...read more

Kindness

Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 22, 2021

The message encourages Christians to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the development of kindness in their character. Evidence of biblical kindness in our lives is explored as well as Issues that undermine kindness.

Today’s message is very simply entitled “Kindness.” Are you a kind person? The Pharisees of Jesus day were very religious, but they were not kind. Their attitude toward other people was condescending, arrogant, and condemning. This attitude came out in John 7. Jesus was at the temple teaching ...read more

Five Plus Two Does Not Equal Seven

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 10, 2015

Following Jesus is a radical lifestyle, and Jesus asks us if we are willing to do the same. Are we willing to give up some of what we have, that others might not go hungry? Are we willing to give out of what God has given to us

Have you ever heard of the saying, “Every dark cloud has a silver lining”? If so, then the story of the loaves and fishes is a good example. Let me explain. This story happens just after the death of John the Baptist. When Jesus heard that his cousin was beheaded, he did what some of ...read more
