What’s In Your Clay? (September 4, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 1, 2022

How many times have you seen a Capitol One commercial where you always hear the question, “What’s in your wallet?” As we hear today’s text a better question to ask is “What’s in your clay?” What’s in our clay that makes us resistant to how God is trying to mold us and shape us?

WHAT’S IN YOUR CLAY? Text: Jeremiah 18:1 -11 Jeremiah 18:1-11 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: (2) "Come, go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words." (3) So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his ...read more

The Parable Of The Sower

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 3, 2014

A somewhat different take of the Parable of the Sower, or should I say The Parable of the seed.

The Parable of the Sower Matthew 13:1-23 It is always a good idea to read Scripture in its own context because it helps us to rightly interpret the current passage. This parable begins with the words “In the same day”. The first thing we need to zero in is why Matthew mentions that it was the same ...read more

"Mr. Cloud Or Mr. Sunshine?"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 22, 2008

When people see you coming, do they say, "Praise the Lord, here comes Sunshine?" or do they regret your entrance by saying, "Oh no, here comes Mr. Cloud!"

A Place Of Security For The People Of God

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 20, 2016

Jesus speaks in no uncertain terms of the status of those who continue in unbelief, and the security of His own sheep.

A PLACE OF SECURITY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD. John 10:22-30. Place is perhaps as important as time in this text.
