     | 37,971 views

    So many people and churches are missing their harvest because they do not understand three important things. Harvest is a consequence, process and a season. Once we understand these then we can apply the implications and reap the benefits.

    UNDERSTAND YOUR HARVEST INTRODUCTON - What is your Harvest? When we think of harvest what do we imagine? Maybe for most of us here in this rural area - it is fields of wheat and harvests as in our title frame. But what does a harvest look like for you? Is your harvest about finances? To ...read more

    Preparing Jesus, Preparing For Jesus Series

     | 6,517 views

    This chapter provides some real contrasts between real and trumped up worship, real belief and real betrayal. It is all a part of preparing Jesus for the cross and preparing us to receive him.

    John places Jesus at Ephraim, a village north of Jerusalem. Between the end of chapter 11 and here, Jesus travels back to Galilee, heals the ten lepers (Luke 17), talks to Zacchaeus (Luke 19) in Jericho on his way back to Bethany. It’s only six days until the Passover, and Jesus’ crucifixion. John ...read more

    Sin can do what natural disaster and governments can’t do... limit God’s ability to bless and prosper. Israel of guilty of limiting God from blesing them as He wished. See how they did it.

    Paul had experienced much success in ministry, and yet he knew he had not arrived. He resolved to release the past, embrace the present, and anticipate the future. We must continue to seek all the Lord has for us. We cannot be complacent or satisfied.

    Committed to Serve Philippians 3:12-16 As you study the life of Paul, you realize the opportunities he once enjoyed. As far as men were concerned, Paul once had it all – power, position, and prestige. He was a rising star with a bright future within the religious elite in Jerusalem. All of ...read more

    Large crowds followed Jesus, coming where He was. He could've waited on them to come to Him, but often He went out, seeking them. Jesus was often found among those society rejected. We too must be willing to go where they are, seeking to reach them.

    Found among Sinners Mark 2: 13-17 Following a season of ministry around the region of Galilee, Jesus had returned to Capernaum. His return created quite a stir, as multitudes arrived at Peter’s house, hoping to see Jesus. The palsied man was miraculously healed, and Jesus made a statement that ...read more

    The Right Amount Of Salt, Please!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 13, 2025
     | 621 views

    Chefs have to learn the exact amounts – say – of salt to add to the food. Too much salt and the food becomes bitter. Too little salt and the food is bland. So it is with our use of "salt" in witnessing!

I heard about this man, he was taking a walk in the woods with his friend when suddenly they encounter a huge grizzly bear about 20 yards in front of them. They both froze in their tracks.
