    He allowed the cancer to be a like a PNEUMATIC JACKHAMMER. Yes, it shook him up but it also broke up the hard places of his heart and enabled God to get through to him. Everyone of us has that choice.

    Matthew 13:18-23 – A JACKHAMMER AND A CONCRETE HEART! – Part 4 Two of the men have impacted my life. Both of them died of cancer. For many years one of these men allowed his CIRCUMSTANCES to harden him towards those in his family and towards God. I thought my dad was about as far away ...read more

    Whether I live in a DUNGEON or MILLION DOLLAR mansion I can still be stupid about what really matters in life.

    Matthew 13:1-23 – Part 6 - DUNGEONS AND MANSIONS? She is not deaf but her heart is a fortress, cold, hard, defensive. The gates are huge, old and impenetrable, bolted with fear and pride that slide across into their iron brackets at the mention of Christ. She sits in a dungeon of her own ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 8,410 views

    The sounds of the city snatches away our attention and the persistent voice of Christ’s love fights to be heard above the collective sighs of our APATHY. Just like the parable of the Sower and the Soils.

    Matthew 13:10-17 – HOW TO GUAGE YOUR SPIRITUAL APATHY – Part 3 We visited the Opera House in Sydney not long ago. Thousands of people on foot! I am reminded that there is a spiritual INDIFFERENCE that walks the concrete footpaths of my city and what Christ has to say is often swept away or ...read more

    LIFE LESSONS Text: Luke 12:13 – 34 In the short time that Jesus walked upon the earth, He taught many life lessons: • We should treat others the way that we want to be treated ourselves. • We should love God, our neighbors, and our enemies. • We should forgive others just ...read more

     | 9,909 views

    In an age when the church is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the daily life of people, when the message of the church seems to increasingly fall on deaf ears, and when the truth is mocked as meaningless and unattainable, Jesus speaks to us these words

    Seeds That Survive Pt 1 – The Sower and the Seed Luke 8:4-15 We are now deep into the month of August. A time of year when all over America the farmer’s eyes are turned to the harvest. I sought long for what to share with you during these final services of our summer worship schedule ...read more

    The third in a series on the Parables of Jesus, this three-point, expository sermon explores the parable of the workers in the vineyard and the eleventh hour hire. It highlights the extravagant, endless, and equalizing grace of God!

     | 4,842 views

    In one of the most important parables of the Book of Mark, Jesus teaches us to do three things with the Word of God: to hear it, accept it, and reproduce from it. The challenge for us is ... Are we obeying or disobeying this critical command?

    Kingdom Seeds Mark 4:1-20 Introduction - Pray for Rod: doing well, needs to rest and recover from fusion surgery - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- He is the ultimate servant; giving Himself clearly for all who will receive -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, ...read more

    First in a series of messages that examine Jesus' parables from the perspective of a minor or unsympathetic character.

    Several years ago I came across a book by J. Ellsworth Kalas titled Parables from the Back Side. The author’s introduction to the book begins with these words: Familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt, as the saying puts it, but it often breeds something potentially worse, the glazed ...read more

    Eighth in this series. The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector reveals that I either come to church to impress God or to be impressed by God.

    Note: Since this message was presented in the form of a table that summarized the two reasons for coming to church some formatting may not look right. Let me begin with a question this morning. I don’t want to embarrass anyone, so I’m not going to ask you for a show of hands or ask you ...read more

    Is Jesus At The Center Of All You Do And Think

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 22, 2014
     | 7,426 views

    You can choose to humble yourself, though it's not an easy thing to do, I know, and God will involve you in what He's doing; God wants to involve you in what He's doing...but, it's always on His terms not yours.

    In Luke 10 Jesus tells one of his most famous stories. If you went to Sunday School or VBS when you were a child then you're familiar with this story. The story begins with a Jewish man walking from Jerusalem to Jericho when he is attacked, robbed and left for dead on the side of the road. Two ...read more

    We cultivate a responsive heart to God by obeying the truth.

    My first pastorate was a rural church in northwest Oklahoma. A young man in the church returned from military service overseas. He brought his new bride to meet me. She was Irish. It was her first time in the U.S. I asked what impressed her about Oklahoma. She said it was the dirt. I was ...read more

    2nd Corinthians 11 and the Parable of the Sower both Show us God as the Strength in our Weakness.

    As we look at our lessons today, and I want to look briefly at both, comparing them together, (Glory to God) I’ll begin by sharing an old story some of you may know about a man named Phi-Dipp-adeez. I’d actually be impressed if you knew his name, but you probably know the name Marathon and Nike, ...read more

    Jesus teaches the parable of the sower to illustrate the various conditions of the human heart that challenge our spiritual growth to accept God's truths.

    Faith is simply trusting God enough to do what He says. Faith guides our actions and we leave the results up to God.

    "Tell me a Story” is a simple and shorter way to reference Jesus' use of parables. A parable is a relatable way to share a moral or spiritual lesson. While some don’t like parables because they don’t get right to the point. Others love a good story because it forces us to think and ...read more
