    As we read some of Jesus’ final words, we discover the seemingly impossible mission he gives them. And it will greatly help us understand our own mission. Mission impossible? You be the judge…

    Some times we can say something about the coming of the Lord, and that He could come now just any time and some people will make statements to the effect, “well I’ve heard that all my life and He hasn’t come yet”.

    This is the final in a series exploring the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, and the "advantage" Jesus said He would be leaving with us. This message explores the fruit of the Spirit.

    (For this sermon, a very large bowl of fruit was placed front and center on the stage. Large enough that it was noticed immediately when people came in for worship. It was utilized as an ’active’ prop during the message.) The words of John 16 should be familiar to you by now. Jesus is sharing ...read more

    Laborers In The Vineyard

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2014
     | 6,556 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
