    Following His encounter with the rich, young ruler, Jesus discussed the difficulty of salvation for those distracted by pleasures. We are making an investment in something that eventually will pay dividends. Invest wisely!

While it would be possible to grasp the truth of this text without such an approach, it bears more weight when considered in the context of ...read more

    Recognize the condition of our hearts as the soil in which the seed of the Gospel is planted, and to make conscious choices to create an environment where our relationship with God can grow.

    Today we're going to talk about our hearts and how they're like soil for the good news of Jesus. We're going to look at a story Jesus told in the Bible, called the Parable of the Sower.

    Moses at Meribah is a prime example of James’ statement that "the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.’ Moses let himself get distracted and apparently never really learned his lesson.

    Numbers 20:1-13 James tells us something very important in James 1:19-20 “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” The New International Version replaces the word “wrath” with ...read more
