    The gates of hell will not destroy this church. Jesus said that in Matthew 16:18. When he said that, he was not talking about a building. He was talking about the people, because people are the church.

    Laborers In The Vineyard

     | 6,551 views

    The parable of the vineyard in Matthew 20 is almost mind boggling in scope and what can be extracted from it. In this sermon we are taking a look at the relationship between the owner and the workers and becoming an employee and the "doing".

    Now we need to remember that we can never take a scripture out of context. Just before this the Rich Young Ruler asks Jesus in Matthew 19:16b (NASB) “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” “Do” This was an underlying foundation in the mind of ...read more

    Matthew 15: 10-20 - Barclay stated that this Scripture was 'one of the supreme contests in history'. Two religious viewpoints clash with what Jesus says. Jesus again points to what is really important.

    Good morning. Laws are important in any society in order to keep peace and order. But there are laws and then there are laws. Here are some laws that are still on the books in our state of Kansas. • In Derby, it is illegal to hit a vending machine that stole your money. • In Dodge ...read more

    In Greek, the word translated "perfect" in Matthew is "teleios". " If something accomplishes what it is designed to do, it is said to be perfect that is "teleios" So "telios" is often translated as "mature". "Teleios" has the idea of "being complete."

    Jesus proclaims In the Gospel Lesson today: "Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect." Be Perfect! Let us consider two other passages that speak to this calling, a calling to be perfect: From Genesis Gen. 6:9 "Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked ...read more

    It is not easy following Jesus. We can lose friendships, our family, and endure hardships and heartache. Jesus tells us in Matthew 10 that these things will happen, and that we look to Him when they do.
