     | 6,977 views

    Depend on Jesus' forgiveness, not your goodness, to be sure of Heaven--as shown by the story of the sinful woman who showed her faith in Christ's forgiveness by wiping his feet with her hair, and kissing his feet vs. the Pharisee who did so much less.

    But if you concentrate, pay attention, you will all really realise that all through these years even you failed to understand the real hidden blessings in the Bible.

    As I was growing in the knowledge of Bible, whenever I came across this phrase I used to think Jesus used this phrase in a sarcastic way. But today when I read this phrase I really mean, that I had failed to understand the heart of Jesus in using this phrase. Today also many must be wondering why ...read more

    The Sign You're Looking For

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 5, 2025
     | 194 views

    This sermon warns against seeking signs from a hard heart, highlighting the hypocrisy of being able to interpret worldly things while being blind to spiritual truth, and ultimately points to Christ's resurrection as the only sign we truly need for faith.

    Introduction Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads, desperately asking God for a sign? "Lord, if you want me to take this job, let the phone ring in the next ten minutes." "God, if this is the person I'm supposed to marry, have them wear a blue shirt tomorrow." We ...read more

    Ties together Israel’s disobedience during the Exodus, people’s failure to recognize Jesus when he came, and our own obliviousness to the warning signs around us. Lesson: Hardships aren’t for punishnment, it’s to point us to God.

    Have any of you ever watched a movie or a TV show about a wagon train? You know, a column of Conestoga wagons, what they called prairie schooners, with the rounded canvas tent-tops?

    I have always enjoyed math, in fact, I’d say it was my favorite subject all the way up through high school.

    Learn from the mistakes of the Pharisees: (1) Don’t be too caught up by the outward, it’s the heart that counts; (2) Don’t be too caught up by what man thinks; it’s what God thinks that counts.

    We are all creatures of habit. We do many things over and over again. • There is nothing wrong with that.

    As humans we naturally try to do what is in our own best self interest. This doesn't always coincide with the character of God. Such is the case with divorce. Jesus shocks His men and the Pharisees with a refreshing look at relationships. As we look at th

    This is part 5 in our series Guardrail adopted from Andy Stanley's series. The message is written from a Palm Sunday viewpoint and deals with why the Pharisees had hard hearts toward Jesus. We all need to protect our hearts.

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 12, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,768 views

    Jesus contrasts a prideful Pharisee and a formerly promiscuous sinner desperate for grace. One is changed forever and one is unchanged. The difference: pride vs. humility. We all are in need of a Savior. Sadly, some don't realize it until it is too late.

    Luke 7:36-50 Pride and Promiscuity The sermon title for today’s story is in honor of my wife, who first introduced me to Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” a classic tale of two strong-willed and misunderstood personalities coming together in romantic love. But ...read more
