    You Have Never Read The Gerasene Demoniac’s Story Like This.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 24, 2014
    based on 3 ratings
     | 36,046 views

    The Gerasene demoniac is a true story and not a parable with much to encourage us; there are even some funny features within, somewhere between a political cartoon and a graphic novel. Read on … and you will see the bizarre from beginning to end.

    1 Kings 19:1-4, (5-7), 8-15a Psalm 42 and 43 Galatians 3:23-29 Luke 8:26-39 Summary: The Gerasene demoniac is a true story and not a parable with much to encourage us; there are even some funny features within, somewhere between a political cartoon and a graphic novel. Read on ...read more

    Love

    We are looking at powerful words from the last days of the life of Jesus. Last week we examined the parable of the tenants and the word was REJECTION. This week we will look at the context of Mark 12 and settle in on the powerful word LOVE.

    Powerful Words From The Last Week of the Life of Jesus Love Mark 12:28-44 Introduction We are looking at powerful words from the last days of the life of Jesus.

    Lesson #21 [id4] Reminder Of The Promises Of God Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 22, 2020
     | 3,350 views

    There are many different responses to the Gospel. The point of Jesus’ parable in Matthew 13 was not to plant doubt in the hearts of the disciples. Rather, Jesus was showing His disciples how many ways the human heart can respond to the good news.

    2/18/20 Tom Lowe Lesson #21 [ID4] Reminder of the (Hebrews 6:9-20) Scripture: Hebrews 6:9-20 (NIV) 9Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation. 10God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the ...read more

    Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021
     | 8,113 views

    Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

    What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

    All Prepared

    Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

    INTRODUCTION Do you agree that in God’s master plan, there is no such thing as “coincidence”? A few weeks ago, your pastor asked if I would be willing to preach today. Not only did I tell him “Yes!” on the spot, but I also told him that I knew exactly what I wanted to preach. You see, God had ...read more

    Loving The Lord

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
     | 5,542 views

    Are you a good Samaritan? We might try to help other people, but is that really what Jesus was trying to teach when he told the story about the good Samaritan? Look to what leads up to this parable and see how Jesus' story is so much more than just a lesson teaching us to help other people.

    “Help other people.” When did you learn that lesson? That is one of the very basic lessons that we normally learn at a very early age. Someone drops something, you pick it up. Someone falls down on the playground, you help them up. If there is someone who is need, you share what you have been ...read more

    Every believer will give an account of their efforts You will give an account of your whole life. Some of you have taken the gospel and stuck in a sock drawer. Some of you have taken the story of Jesus and stuffed in under your mattress.

    This parable pictures Jesus as a cedar sprout from the top of David’s family tree. He becomes low and dry to save us, but the Lord made him a tall and florishing tree so that we are safe in his branches.

    Only God has made the Tree Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

    "Yahweh Has Come To His Temple”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Sep 28, 2023
     | 691 views

    Matthew 21 and the parable of the two sons, and tenants in the vineyard are really about "Yahweh" coming to His temple, His dwelling place. The Pharisees rejected His Messiahship and thus they ask: "By what authority...." Conclusion: Who do you say Jesus is?

    I Don't Feel A Thing! (Hix)

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Mar 20, 2014
     | 5,461 views

    Jesus spoke in parables, He used physical things (Seeds, Water, Light, Soil, Birth, Wedding, Wine, Bread) to explain spiritual things (Witnessing, Testimony, Spiritual Birth, Christian Life, Christian Walk). So God is going to use leprosy as a teaching tool!

    People are always concerned with physical body and not really concerned with spiritual body, but physical is connected to the spiritual! Sickness, disease, famine, pestilence, wars, death are all a direct or indirect result of sin!! The only way to bring any kind of healing to the physical, is to ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,444 views

    Jesus told this parable so He might teach us to pray and not faint. That word faint means to lose courage, to lose heart or hope. It means that you won’t want to give up, which speaks of discouragement. The Lord’s only answer for discouragement in life wa
