Live With The Lamb Series

Contributed by Mike Cleveland on Dec 5, 2007

At Jesus’ invitation we “come and see” where He is staying, and what we see is that our sins are gone, that we have a clean slate and a fresh start, that we are adopted into God’s family, reconciled to our Father, and that we have eternal life.

Live With the Lamb: John 1:35-39 I want us to think just now of the one most important reason why anybody should follow Jesus Christ over, say, Mohammad.

The Wisest Investment

Contributed by Samuel Stone on Oct 31, 2007

The struggle with today’s passage is that on one hand Jesus is telling us the story of a ‘dishonest’ manager, and on the other hand, he wants us to learn from him. So today we will unfold the hidden treasure of wisdom from this parable and look at what he
