Christians need to be committed to one another.

INTRO.- Often, our priorities in life are mixed up. I recently saw a carton on the internet, showing a woman crawling on her hands and knees in the desert. The sun was broiling her. There were two roads. One turned to the right, stating, “Fresh water only ¼ mile.” The road to the left had a ...read more

How do we respond to the questions of life? How did Jesus respond?

It seems that questions fill our daily lives. Everywhere we go, we are confronted by questions. At home it might be very simple things like, “What’s for tea?” or, “When’s Grandma coming?”, “How can I afford it?”, “Who does she think she is?”, “What was that referee doing?”, “Why can’t I have ...read more

In the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry, the Jews reached a tipping point in their rebellion against God. Nations, kings, and ordinary men arrive at tipping points, from which they retreat, or pass on to judgment.

Matthew 21:33-43 Tipping Points The gospel for today recounts yet another parable which Jesus told against the religious establishment of Israel. After he had spoken the parable, Matthew records these words: 45 Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He ...read more

based on 74 ratings

Right words never exceed right deeds, though it is always best when words and deeds match one another. Jesus’ parable of the two sons urges us to repent of our empty words and to fill them with obedience.

Who Did His Father’s Will? Matt 21:28-32 Jesus’ teaching has many places in it where it is difficult to understand what he means. And, then there are those places where his meaning is clear, but the application what he says is tricky – or so we like to think. We have one of those places in the ...read more

Whose Image?

based on 41 ratings

| 13,520 views

Giving to God what is His requires we recognize what bears His image and, thus, a duty toward Him.

Whose Image? Matt 22:15-22 The gospel for today has a saying of Jesus that is probably better known than anything else he ever said, with the possible exception of his words to Nicodemus about being born again. The odd thing about Jesus’ words in today’s gospel is this: were not answering the ...read more

based on 36 ratings

We often have a tendency to mask our failure to love others by referring to it as a “complex issue”. It’s not true. Jesus shows us how utterly simple the issue actually is.

“It’s A LONG STORY; A COMPLEX ISSUE; A GRAY AREA”. You have heard statements like this haven’t you? Perhaps you used them yourself. Phrases like this are often used as a way to bring an end to a discussion. More often then not, those who say them are trying to bring an end to a ...read more
