    It’s alarming to think of the numbers of people who don’t crack the cover of their Bibles from Sunday to Sunday. Some don’t even generate enough energy to pick it out of the pew and follow the reading, because the sense of its contents holds no interest a

    The Shunammite Woman in our text today will demonstrate the value of woman’s character when death wields its sword against the family.

    Parable Of The Sower Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 1, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,577 views

    In the parable of the sower, we see what could be called a Kingdom-of-Heaven condition; that is, it exhibits God’s present ruler-ship over the entire earth as He calls out a people to His name.

    Parable of the Sower The Gospel of Matthew is probably the key Gospel to the Bible, and chapter 13 is the key to this Gospel; therefore this chapter is very important. It provides us with a better understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven than any other passage. Here, Jesus for the first time ...read more

    When God works “in us” His cleansing, purifying work, then the truth of Jesus’ solutions for “unrighteous righteousness” will become reality. We must make sure the inner spiritual control center is fully complete – pure – and then the outer control cente

    UNRIGHTEOUS RIGHTEOUSNESS Matthew 6:1-24 Text: Matthew 6:1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness before people, to be seen by them; for if you do, you will have no reward from your Father Who is in heaven.” Unrighteous righteousness! This sounds like an oxymoron – two ...read more

    We often talk about the Joy of our faith but what does that Joy look like? And how can we choose to be joyful.

    What Jesus Said About Joy Does anyone remember Balki’s “Dance of Joy”? A few people, does anyone remember Balki and his cousin Larry? The sitcom “Perfect Strangers”? Does anyone know what I’m talking about? I feel so old. And so for all of you who missed ...read more

    We need to get back to the basics of our faith and talk about the way of the Cross. I saw myself with a laminated Cross in front of me. We need to pick up our cross and follow Jesus.

    The Way Of The Cross 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

    Prayer is crucial to the life of the believer, but so many believers have many, many questions about prayer... so much so that they tend to NOT pray because they are unsure about prayer... Let's look at prayer, what it is and various other questions...

    A Study on Prayer: [read Matthew 6:5-13] Have you struggled with prayer? Does prayer seem like an exercise in eloquent speech that you just don't possess?
