    But did we allow that consuming power of God's love reshape our lives? Did we make a decision to give our whole lives to Jesus Christ the savior of all? That is the question I want you to ask yourself today.

    "Kenneth Clark, internationally know for his television series Civilization, lived and died without faith in Jesus Christ. He admitted in his autobiography that while visiting a beautiful church he had what he believed to be an overwhelming religious experience. "My whole being," ...read more

    The Siege Of Jerusalem

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 1, 2022
     | 2,783 views

    We probably don't like to think about God's justice. The siege of Jerusalem by the Romans, in A.D. 70, forces us to. In this event we see God's justice but we also see that God protected his people in a time of wrath.

    Note: this was a talk I gave to a small afternoon congregation. I wouldn’t give it in our main morning service. INTRODUCTION We’re presently following the theme of discipleship, picking up some of the big things that are part of being a follower of Jesus. But it’s good to have some variety so ...read more

     | 277 views

    Today we are reminded of the eternal importance of your words matching up with you deeds, especially as it relates to internal realities.

    Background to passage, Matthew 21:28-32: after the confrontation about Jesus’s authority and John the Baptist, Jesus tells a series of three parables. They have a common thread, the failure, indictment, and judgement of the Jewish leaders. This is the first - The Two Sons. Opening illustration: ...read more

    Today we must see that even those entrusted with the Kingdom can lose their focus and fail to produce the fruit in the Master’s Vineyard.

    Background to passage, Matthew 21:33-45: Remember this is the last week of Jesus’s life (and with conversations like this, it’s not surprising). Do know that everything happened just as God foreordained from before the foundation of the world. Jesus has been challenging the Jewish leaders from ...read more

     | 945 views

    Many talk about Jesus or celebrate Jesus, and they like to believe that it assures them of a spot in Heaven. What did Jesus say about this?

    Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org As we continue through the parables, I realize that this is one of those parables that has always confounded me. It confounds me not because of the application but because of the theology. Most tried to impose ...read more

    The Parable fo the Vineyard and Wicked Tenants

    In our study of the parables, we now come to the last of three parables taught by Jesus in Matthew chapter 21. Now as I always say, Jesus taught using parables to illustrate a spiritual truth regarding the Kingdom of Heaven. Parables are not meant to be taken literally, mom, but are necessary for ...read more

     | 93 views

    One afternoon in Jericho changed everything for a despised tax collector. Jesus looked up into a tree and called a sinner by name. Salvation came that day.

    2. ZACCHAEUS MEETS JESUS (FROM REJECTION TO REDEMPTION) Introduction The story of Zacchaeus shows the power of one encounter with Jesus Christ. This man lived in Jericho. He had money, position, and power. But he had no peace, no friends, and no hope. The whole town despised him. Then Jesus walked ...read more

     | 605 views

    Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith. Rejecting Him is like rejecting the foundation of a building. We must repent for the times we've rejected Him and accept Him as our foundation.

    Jesus tells us four things about how we're supposed to serve in the Kingdom of God. He tells WHO is to serve, HOW we're to serve, WHEN we're supposed to serve, and WHERE we're supposed to serve. Which Son are you?

    No, It's Not Fair, But Bear With It In Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2023
     | 889 views

    Forget the old song that asks “how can it be wrong when it feels so right?” That’s unmitigated baloney. Your mind must rule your emotions, not vice-versa.

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Course 2023 Have you or anyone you know ever said that some fine or traffic ticket or concert ticket price or something else “isn’t fair”? I suspect that a show of hands would involve almost everyone who is here today. That cry, “it’s not fair!” is one of the most common ...read more

    Whether the moral weather is cloudy or fair, we temper every communication with thanksgiving.

    Twenty-seventh Sunday in Course 2023 If God had human emotions–and He certainly did in Jesus’s life–what do you think He would have been feeling in today’s psalm, reading from Isaiah, and Gospel parable? Surely the emotion would have been profound disappointment. “the vineyard of the LORD of hosts ...read more

    We can learn from the parable of the wicked vineyard tenants how to stay vigilant with being good stewards of God's Kingdom on earth.

    THERE IS A COST INVOLVED WITH FOLLOWING JESUS. THERE ARE STRICT REQUIREMENTS OF SACRIFICE, INITIATIVE, AND EFFORT AS WE BECOME MORE PASSIONATE WITH HOLINESS AND THE PRIORITIES OF LOVING OUR NEIGHBOR, PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL, AND BEING MORE FOCUSED ON THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND MAKING DISCIPLES.
