Where Do You Stand? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more

God's Expectation Series

Contributed by Rule Digal on Aug 11, 2008

The focal point of this parable is God’s expectation of His people, Israel or Christians. God is the owner of the vineyard who inspects and expects the fig tree –His people to bear fruit.

The Parable Treasure And Pearl / I Surrender All

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jul 28, 2011

What, then, do the parables teach? Church fathers such as Irenaeus and Augustine identified the treasure and the Pearl with Christ. The recent convert to Christianity says exactly the same thing: "I found Christ." Yes, it seems like we did find Christ.

In his series of seven parables in Chapter 13, Matthew is quite elaborate ....... on the first two, providing an interpretation for each. The other five are shorter and more pointed in content. The parables of the hidden treasure and of the pearl consists of two sentences each. And in the ...read more

The Priceless Value Of The Kingdom Series

Contributed by Rule Digal on Aug 11, 2008

Why would Jesus describe His Kingdom like this? What makes His Kingdom so valuable, so priceless that even if you had to sell everything you own to get it, it would be worth it? The Kingdom of God is infinitely valuable because this is where we find and h
