    Not Far From The Kingdom Of God

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 2,491 views

    You've heard the phrase, "close but no cigar". It communicates that getting almost there is not good enough. Jesus had an encounter with a teacher of the law in Mark 12 where he tells him that he was not far from the kingdom of God.

    NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD Mark 12:28-34 You've heard phrases like, "close but no cigar" or “almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades”.

    One More Year

    Great New Year's message. The parable of the fruitless fig tree being given one more year to produce fruit probably parallels many Christians, who's lives are fruitless. Will we respond to God's reprieve by changing how we're living?

    ONE MORE YEAR Luke 13:6-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Russian couple was walking down a Moscow street one night, when the man felt a drop hit his nose. “I think it’s raining,” he said to his wife. 2. “No, I think that would be snow,” she replied. “Look, I’m sure it was rain,” he said. The ...read more

    The Book Of Mark #60

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,163 views

    In the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, there are over 60 references to the scribes, and over 80 references to the Pharisees.

    Most of these references were made by Jesus, Himself. No doubt these people were awkward for Jesus to have to deal with. Jesus had a desire for all souls to be saved from their sins. Nevertheless, Jesus did find Himself having to rebuke the Scribes and Pharisees for the way they lived their ...read more

     | 1,542 views

    Every parent has seen rebellious teenagers and prayed their child would not become like them.

    God knows exactly how we feel as parents, because in this text He shows us this is one of His concerns. Notice, He says to the children of God, in Matt. 6:8, “BE NOT YE THEREFORE LIKE UNTO THEM….” To understand who He is talking about we have to go back to the previous chapter. Look at Matthew ...read more

    Unwrapping God's Gifts Series

     | 1,973 views

    If you aren’t actively seeking out or using your gifts to build up the body of Christ, why not? It’s why you were made.

    I love bumper-sticker theology. And one of my favorites is, “Life is hard try reading the instructions.” Those of you who have assembled toys or furniture may have discovered this principle the hard way. I’ve neglected to count the parts. I’ve put things together upside down and backwards. When I ...read more

    This is a word, if the church is ever going to grow and grow the way I believe God wants us to grow and impact the way we say we want to see our communities impacted, that we need to apply to all our lives today.

    You And Who Else?

     | 1,856 views

    The Pharisees paid lip service to God, but were actually operating under their own power, for their own agendas, not God's. That is why they didn't really want to be told that Jesus was operating under God's authority.

    “Who do you think you are? What right have you to tell me what to think?” Has anyone ever said that to you? It’s not very pleasant. But it happened to me, once. Back when I was just starting seminary. I had run into an acquaintance of mine named Nora. She was pretty vulnerable and sensitive to ...read more
