     | 2,565 views

    Spiritual self-awareness as a believer in Jesus means living in tune with God. It does not mean seeing others with eyes, listening to others with ears, and then responding with a judgmental attitude based on what we see and hear. None of us are as righteous as we think we are.

    WHICH ONE AM I? LUKE 18:9-14 #SpiritualPride INTRODUCTION I was reading and listening in the Gospel of Luke the other week and a parable of Jesus smacked me right in the heart. I am going to share the parable with you today and see if it smacks you as well. The passage comes right after a ...read more

     | 5,730 views

    People can have many priorities. Jesus expects His followers to have priorities based on His value system, not the value system of the world.

    There are many things in life about which we can be concerned. We can be concerned about the weather – when will it be warmer? We can be concerned about the economy – especially if we are being directly affected by the recession. One’s health is also a matter of concern to many people. This ...read more

     | 4,854 views

    As long as there have been people in the world some have tried to cheat others. In the Parable of the Vineyard, that is exactly what happened.

    Having served most of my ministry in rural east Texas, several of my church members have done some farming. And over those years I became at least somewhat familiar with sharecropping, particularly a form of it that they called farming on the halves. At first thought, I would never have imagined ...read more

     | 3,409 views

    The religious leaders of Isreal were removed from the kingdom of God because of their rejection of the prophets and of Christ. As Christians, Christ has placed us into His kingdom, that we would serve Him by handing over the fruits His righteousness produces.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “From wretched to blessed” Two weeks ago, we heard Jesus tell a parable about a vineyard, and how the owner of the vineyard paid the same wage ...read more
