Impossible Possible Mission

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 30, 2021

After reading the book of Acts the reader is left to ponder the question: would one say YES to such an impossible, dangerous mission of spreading the Good News to the lost of this world or would one choose to hide one’s light under a bushel (Matthew 5:15)?

The Harvest Is Coming

Contributed by Sherry Brooks Martin on Sep 29, 2025

Matthew 13: 24-30 is a parable that Jesus spoke. A Parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. What Jesus is doing in the parables is taking some aspect of the actions of God and comparing that to something that is earthly so we can come to some understanding of the purposes of God.

In the Parable of the Weeds, we are told a story about a man who did evil against another man and the way he did this was through planting weeds in the man’s garden. The seeds of grain grew, but so did the weeds that the evil man had planted. Jesus may have used this example because the hearers ...read more

3 - Gold, Frankincense, And Myrrh

Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Jan 22, 2002

The Gifts the Wise Men brought were a symbol of Jesus’ Life - He would be our King, High Priest, and would die for the payment of our sins.

Herod was king of Jerusalem when Jesus was born in Bethlehem (means “House of Bread.”) Bethlehem, also known as Ephrath, was about 5 miles south of Jerusalem, and when wise men came to Herod asking where the REAL King of the Jews was, Herod got pretty jealous and tense, not to mention angry. ...read more

When You Pray

Contributed by H.b. Charles Jr. on Jan 16, 2012

"When You Pray" is an exposition of Matthew 6:5-8. In this passage, Jesus tells us what not to do when we pray. His instruction can be summarized with two prohibitions: (1) Do not pray like the hypocrites. And (2) do not pray like the Gentiles.

This principle leads us to the theme of our text. Verse 5 begins, “And when you pray.” Verse 6 ...read more
