    Thy Kingdom Come Series

    Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Mar 8, 2020
     | 2,594 views

    When we pray "Thy Kingdom come", what do we mean by this? Jesus spends much time teaching on the kingdom that is to come and how we can be involved in it. In order to understand your role in the kingdom, we must first understand what the "Kingdom" is.

    What are we saying when we pray, “Thy kingdom come”? 1. “I know this world’s system is not your kingdom.” JOHN 18:36 2. “I know you have a greater kingdom.” LUKE 17:21 3. “I know that your purposes are eternal.” MATTHEW 6:33 4. “I know I must resist the temptation to live for the here and ...read more

    Will You Be Ready?

    Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019
     | 12,803 views

    What if in the next moment - even as my words fall upon your ears - Christ returned with the shout of the archangel and the trumpet blast? "Faithful and true would He find us here, if He should come today?" Would you be ready?

    The hymn we have just sung asks a pointed question. A question that I fear too often we dismiss in our daily lives. With all the concerns of living in the present moment - with all of the accompanying joys or frustrations - we fail to give much thought to the final moment. That moment when time, as ...read more

    A Buried Treasure And A Pearl

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018
     | 7,767 views

    Have you ever had to disguise a secret to keep someone from discovering it too soon? Well the parables are in some way like that. They tell of something that you know is important but you can’t quite figure it all out. The answers seem elusive.

    A Buried Treasure and a Pearl Matthew 13:44-46 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 ...read more

    Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A-- 15th Sunday, Year A --The Sower

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2020

    It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.

    “To throw alongside” a story with cryptic meaning is called a parable in Greek. In Zen Buddhism, a parable is like a “koan,” which is a spiritual inquiry using perplexing language intended to rouse a student’s innate wisdom-mind to apply it to their own life. As Rabbi Ibn Ezra said of parables, ...read more
