    Miracle On 1st Century Street Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 23, 2008
     | 4,038 views

    based on 84 ratings
     | 23,096 views

    Throughout history, God continually gave His chosen people urgent warnings. As Jesus looks out over the city of Jerusalem, He laments the fact that they failed to heed those warnings by refusing to recognize Him as their Messiah.

    1. The urgent warning of God’s permanent Word (37a) 2. The urgent warning of God’s passionate grace (37b) 3. The urgent warning of God’s present consequence (38) 4. The urgent warning of God’s pending judgment (39) MATTHEW 23:37-39 Thomas Huxley was known as Darwin’s Bulldog. He was one of the ...read more

    There are so many different words that can be used to describe God. But if you had to use just one, that word would be Holy.

A place (Man, that’s beautiful, it’s breathtaking), A smell (ugh, that’s awful, it’s horrible), How about a taste? (uuumm, good, rich, yummy) Sometimes it’s hard to put into words when ...read more

    How do you know if you are inching away from a relationship with God? The story of the Prodigal Son features two sons - this is the one who don’t often hear about. Yet he usually bears the closest resemblance to those in the church.

This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such despicable people - even eating with them!" These two verses from ...read more

    Many times we have all been prodigal sons wasting the riches God has for us. It is so amzing how when we get in to trouble we always go running back to God to help us out. He always takes us back.

How do I know that God will forget my sins of the past? I have wasted so much time and things God has already given me. I ...read more
