    Peter asked a question.... How many times must I forgive? Jesus responded by telling a story.

    January 23, 2021 The Context: Peter asked Jesus a question: “How many times do I have to forgive the person who sins against me… 7 times?” Peter’s question was not intended to get Jesus’ opinion so much as it was to toot his own horn of grace and mercy --- Toot! Toot! You see, the Rabbis ...read more

    The demon would ‘quickly’ be in action, before the word takes root in you and grow. The birds (vultures) would come and devour it !

    DEVOURED THE SEED Birds came ….. Matthew 13:4” .. as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.” I remember a dream I had during the initial days of my salvation, through which God demonstrated the above scripture very vividly and beautifully to me.

    Twenty Fifth Sunday in Course 2022 When Our Lord told parables to his followers, He was saying to them, “gather around me and listen. I have a story that might help you understand God’s kingdom.” So in many cases, we ought not spend too much time trying to analyze the characters, asking which ...read more

    We come full circle with the parables of Jesus. As we close this series, we are reminded the God’s Kingdom work starts small and seemingly insignificant but through God’s work becomes greater than we can imagine.

    Rather than comparing ourselves to the rich man or Lazarus, congregation members are invited to see themselves through the five brothers of the rich man. Jesus’ parable reminds us we have all we need, God’s Word.

    As individuals and as a church where do we stand when it comes to being the leaven? Are we pursuing to build a strong communion with Jesus Christ or being lured by the leaven of legalism, liberalism and materialism?

    Introduction: This passage/verse may seem tricky because that was doubtless the reaction of the disciples when they heard this little story. Our Lord arrested them with this story and shocked them somewhat. When he told them that there was a woman who hid leaven in three measures of meal they must ...read more

    The historical development of the church of God would be one of humble beginnings. However, this parable contains more than this important truth. Hidden within it is a warning about the perversion of the church's method of growth and of satanic attacks up

    Opening illustration: A young teenager was walking to church in a blinding snowstorm. He was unable to get to his church, so he turned in to a little Methodist chapel. The storm was so severe that the preacher couldn’t make it in that night, so a layman stood up to throw something together ...read more

    Today, let’s look at the powerful words of Jesus found in Matthew 18:23-35, where He shares the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. This parable holds immense relevance for us today, as it reveals profound truths about forgiveness, mercy, and the consequences of harboring an unforgiving spirit.

    1. God's Unlimited Mercy: In the parable, we encounter a servant who owes an enormous debt to his king. Despite the servant's inability to repay, the king, moved by compassion, forgives the debt entirely. This act highlights God's boundless mercy toward us. As Psalm 103:10-12 states, ...read more
