    Harvest: What Kind Of Soil Are You?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 30, 2007
    based on 6 ratings

    A short, challenging, all-age talk given at a harvest festival service.

    I love the ‘Mr. Men’ books by Roger Hargreaves! I also enjoy reading the ‘Little Miss’ books too, but my favourite has to be Mr Greedy. A few years ago it was the children’s book that I read more than any other and as a result it’s required a lot of sticky tape to hold it together. I particularly ...read more

    Even with the simple faith of a mustard seed, God can do incredible things through us.

    Simple Faith Luke 17:5-6 October 7, 2007 There was a great story in the September 2007 issue of Reader’s Digest. It goes like this: “What’s that?” asked my young patient’s father as I hung a bag of IV fluids over her bed. “Since your daughter isn’t allowed to eat or drink anything right now,” I ...read more

    Which would you rather have? The foolishness of God or the wisdom of man? The choice is yours

    The Gospel reading is taken from : Luke 15:11-20 11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ’Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, ...read more

    God gives all a gracious invitation to His banquet.

    The Parables of Jesus are wonderful little stories given to us in very earthyly language to illustrate the most profound heavenly truths. Jesus communicates to us in ways that we can understand and identify with readily. In this story a man made a great feast, he went all out to make it the ...read more

    Sixth in this series. The Parable of the Talents show that what I have with what I have been given reveals what I really think about God.

    Over fifty years ago A. W. Tozer wrote his classic book, The Knowledge of the Holy. In his preface, he described why he wrote the book: The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshipping ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables # 24 (The Vultures And The Carcass)

     | 1,351 views

    Because the Lord loved people, He used everything available to teach people about the judgment of God.

    Some folks do not believe there is such a thing as the Judgment of God. It has been said that the only sure things in life are DEATH AND TAXES. But there's one more thing we can be sure of, and that is the judgment of God. When you live in an age when people do not want to take ...read more

    At times, we all feel like we are misunderstood. And many times it is not a feeling, it is a reality.

    For example, sometimes our dogs misunderstand some things about us. Someone suggested these are some of the misunderstandings our pet dogs have... • Getting up does NOT mean we are going for a walk • Just because I'm eating, doesn't mean you can But not only do we have misunderstandings ...read more

    Look at 14:1 “And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, THAT THEY WATCHED HIM.”

    It is not hard for any of us to imagine how this took place in Luke 14:1. The Bible says He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees. WHY DID HE GO THERE? Remember the Son of God became flesh as we are, and the Bible says He went into the Chief Pharisees house “…To eat bread on the ...read more

    One of the biggest problems we have in this country and around the world today, is the problem with relationships.

    Our courts are backed up for years, and most of them are due to relationship problems. For example: (1) WE HAVE MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS When we see the way some husbands and wives act towards each other, it is hard to believe that at one time they stood at the sacred altar before God and ...read more

    Notice, the Bible says in verse 22, “And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.”

    In this verse of Scripture we find the Lord had two goals as He was traveling to Jerusalem. (1) His ultimate goal was to go to Jerusalem where He would die for the sins of mankind. Luke told us that in Luke 9:51. We read, “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, ...read more

    Can The Church Be An Obstacle To Discipleship For Jesus?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021
     | 831 views

    Is it possible that some of the doctrine, rules, and regulations of the church be a stumbling block to becoming a disciple for Jesus? Yes, it was definitely one for me and I still struggle with it.

    {You may want to read Mark 4:1-9, This is the actual parable that I am speaking about. } [Why parables?] 10 As soon as He was alone, 1 His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. 11 And He was saying to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom ...read more

    You must learn the language and literary method that the people in Jesus used if you truly want to understand the Scripture. Hillel's method of asking questions is the optimal way.

    Near Eastern people in Yeshua's (and later on) wrote in allegories, metaphors, and parables. Is this healing story real? In the minds of Near Eastern people, it does not matter. The lesson of the story is the key. The lesson is that everyone must open their eyes to reading the Torah and live ...read more

    I want to ask a question this morning and that question is do you ever think about how your life could be parallel to the unfortunate destiny of this brother who is lying in the streets of this particular scripture.
