    We can be so obsessed with what was going on inside that fish that we can miss seeing the drama inside Jonah.

    Jonah, the Prodigal Prophet, ch 1:4-17 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts We last saw Jonah boarding a ship headed for Tarshish. He pays his fare, gets his one-way ticket, and settles down in the hold--thinking he has made it impossible for God’s will to ...read more

    Jesus’ disciples were so preoccupied with their dinner that they missed their destiny! Christ had to instruct them that they were in the season of harvest.

    Season of the Harvest John 4:27-38 NLT 27Just then his disciples arrived. They were astonished to find him talking to a woman, but none of them asked him why he was doing it or what they had been discussing. 28The woman left her water jar beside the well and went back to the village and told ...read more

    You may miss your doctor’s or dentest’s appointment, but there is one appointment that we all must keep.

    An Appointment That All Of Us Must Keep Hebrews 9: 23-28 We’ve studied the book of Hebrews on many occasions here at the Calvary Baptist Church, and by doing so, we found that this particular book of the NT of the Bible is a book of, “Betters”. We know that by the constant use of the word ...read more

    The Parable Of The Sower

    Contributed by Paul George on Jan 29, 2004
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,846 views

    "Behold, the sower went out to sow." Missing from this parable are the words, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to.”

    "Behold, the sower went out to sow." Missing from this parable are the words, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to.” There must be some good reason why Jesus omitted these words from the first parable. The reason why they are omitted is not a mystery. The kingdom of heaven is an expression ...read more

    The missing element in our Christian circles, and the cause of loose living and worldliness in the church the Lord purchased with His own blood

    THE FEAR OF THE LORD Dr. Russell K. Tardo I. Why Should Believers Fear God? Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is whole duty of man.

    Spiritual World In Our Midst Series

     | 6,095 views

    We can be so blinded by the physical world that we miss out on God’s spiritual world provided for us!

    We are at the closing Chapters of our study of the Book of Daniel. What title do we give Daniel? Daniel was a prophet! The original Hebrew word for prophet in the Old Testament is “nabiy”, meaning a spokesman or speaker. And how do we know prophets spoke for God? God gave prophets visions and ...read more

    Have you ever wondered how many days a person who never missed a sunday service in a year spends?

    LIFE-TIME LUKE: 10:38-42 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. ...read more

    This is the first of this year’s Advent series. It is an introduction of sorts that encourages God’s people not to miss the significance of the Christmas season.

    Introduction: You know it’s Christmas when… 1. You catch yourself checking your “to-do” list twice. 2. You’re ready to offer a cash reward to anyone who can find the Sears wishbook. 3. You’re willing to eat Christmas baking right out of the freezer. 4. You find yourself randomly humming Christmas ...read more

    Prodigality, Love And Grace Series

     | 5,880 views

    A few details of this beautiful parable that we may miss or take for granted because we think the story is so familiar.

    The so-called parable of the prodigal son is one of the—if not the—most beautiful stories in the whole Bible. God, it is pointed out, is like the father in the story. The beauty and power of this story is made very clear in the description and actions of the father. One of the dangers ...read more

    Flasks Of Oil!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 18, 2015
     | 5,570 views

    Alas, at the last minute the foolish ones ran out of stock and thus they missed the bridegroom and the marriage feast, and the door was shut!

    Flasks of oil! Mathew 25:4” the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.” Christian faith is disconcertingly shallow, as shallow as a puddle of water on a sidewalk these days! People daringly confess, “ I have no time for prayer, fasting or Bible reading! I’m just busy, ...read more

    The disciples were focused on their status and not upon the love of God. What were the disciples missing, what should they have known?

    We are going to have the opportunity to rekindle our own loyalty to Jesus as we try to live a life that is connected to Him.

    Last week we started in a new direction as we began talking about being closely connected to Jesus. We said that in order to be more like Jesus, we need to exhibit a life of humble service. Today, we will talk about living a life of loyalty. When a couple is going to have a new baby, it is their ...read more

    Jesus appeared on the beach as an intervention to keep the disciples from missing out on Pentecost and going off-the-track of ministering to the entire world.

    This is going to seem like a strange question, but how many of you have heard of “The Amazing Randi?” He was a stage magician, “mentalist,” and escape artist (in the tradition of Houdini). He once escaped from a block of ice and once escaped from a straitjacket while hanging upside-down over ...read more
