    I would bet that the disciples, when Jesus was off praying by himself, would discuss among themselves whether all this was worth it. Have we been scammed? I bet they had some buyer’s remorse. Some anxiety. Some uncertainty about their choice. I would!!

    Walking in the Reign #5 Treasure and Pearl - Matthew 13:44-46 SLIDE 1 A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00.

    This week we examine the parables of "lostness" focusing on the parable of "The Compassionate Father and His Two Lost Sons." While the prodigal son’s lostness is obvious, the elder son is lost in his own way as well.

    Why does Jesus speak in parables? Why doesn’t He explain all His stories?

    Matthew 13:34-35 – HEY! THAT’S ME IN THAT STORY! – Part 15 Back in the 60’s my parents allowed me to go to the city cinema and watch movies about Tarzan. The back yard then became my jungle and I would act out the whole movie again. I still have a tendency to be a product of the last movie I have ...read more

    Are you so busy preparing for this life that you have completely forgotten about the next one?

    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

    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

    Is Jesus At The Center Of All You Do And Think

     | 7,305 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

    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?

    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.

    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

     | 8,182 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
