    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 8, 2014
     | 4,237 views

    A look at the shortcomings of the American Dream. This focuses on the parable of the rich fool and how his life is a personification of the American Dream that we exalt.

    EVERYONE'S GOAL: The American Dream is the default life goal of our country. - Everywhere you look, our vision, goals, desires, and plans all run toward the American Dream. - I’ve said before that materialism is the biggest sin in America. Part of the proof for that is how pervasive our ...read more

    In this parable, we will see that one man came to the temple that day to worship himself. The other man came that day to worship the Lord.

    LUKE 18:9-14 "THE DOWNWARD CLIMB UP" September 14, 2025 This sermon is inspired by my time with the late Crawford Kimble. He told me a story of a young preacher, fresh out of seminary, a model student. He was given an opportunity to preach at a small church. He proudly and boldly walked ...read more

    Of Grace And Envy

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 17, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,165 views

    How is the Kingdom of heaven to be understood in light of laboring for Christ while the world enjoys the pleasures of sin? The parable of Jesus in Matthew 20 is helpful here.

    Matthew 20:1-16 Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard Jesus introduces this parable saying that the kingdom of heaven is like this. That's an impressive, if not disturbing introduction to this particular parable for many reasons. I believe that the kingdom of heaven in Matthew's gospel applies ...read more

    Although we all must live under the principle that we reap what we sow, God is a God who reaps where He does not sow and gathers where He did not spread seed. He will generously offer us mercy and grace.

    Lessons For Modern-Day Sowers Of The Word

    Contributed by Ray Pritchard on Jul 3, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,648 views

    Most messages on this parable discuss it from the standpoint of the four soils. I want to look at it in terms of what it teaches us about doing ministry today. I find at least eight principles that both challenge and encourage us.

    Lessons for Modern-Day Sowers of the Word Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23 The last few days I have been meditating on the famous parable of the seed and the sower. It is obviously important because is found in three different places in the gospels (with Jesus’ explanation in parenthesis): Matthew 13:3-9 ...read more

    We Stand On Guard For Thee!

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on May 7, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,180 views

    The seed of all actions and behaviour are born in the mind and it is the birth of these thoughts that give permission to our deeds and choices. If we can guard the mind, claiming the capacities of intellect for God, there is nothing that can defeat us!

    Title is taken from our National Anthem – e.g. we’ll stand on guard for Canada! I’ve borrowed the line in reference to our pledged allegiance to guard our minds for God. Our minds belong to him; our bodies belong to him; the seed of all actions and behaviour are born in the mind and it is the ...read more

    The greatest problem in ministry is often the fight within. Beware of the seeds of discontent, distrust and rivalry that the evil One can sow within the Body of Christ. Don't let selfishness gets the better of us.

    What we learn last week: There will be oppositions in ministry. • We cannot stop what people will say but we can choose not to allow their words or deeds to discourage us from doing what is good and right, what is the will of God. • We choose not to be distracted; we FOCUS on what God ...read more
