    Contrasts Series

     | 4,282 views

    What are those things that bring your heart closer to God and what are those that drive you further away? We learn them from studying contrasts in people Jesus tells us about or encounters in this chapter.

    This is a chapter of contrasts. There are two kinds of people represented here: those that think they have it together, and those that know they don’t. Jesus gives us the contrast between them by showing us various different portraits. I think the idea is to give us a picture of what our approach ...read more

    We must be prepared at all times and not allow evil to get into our lives. We need God’s truth, righteousness, gospel of peace, sword of the Spirit and salvation to fight off any evil that we encounter.

     | 13,259 views

    Quitting is often the easiest course of action when you encounter hardships in your life, but Quitting should never be an option for the Christian when doing the Lord’s Will. Persistence must always be our course of action.

    Jesus’ encounter with the Syrophoenician woman admits several interpretations, all of which teach us: give what is needed rather than what is wanted; teach others rather than do for them; watch your motives.

    Just when you think you have your life routines down pat, settled and secure, something comes along and upsets the whole pattern. Just when you think you have your life all organized, something comes up to discombobulate it! Just when you think you know the rules by which you govern your life, ...read more

    The account of Jesus' personal encounter and conversation with Peter after His resurrection reveals His interest in dealing with Peter, but also with us for whom He died. For Peter and us to love Him is the most important matter to Jesus.
