    Jesus, during one day of preaching used six different parables describing what Heaven was like. This sermon examines the parable of the leaven and how it relates to our mission as followers of Christ.

    Good morning. There was a pastor who was preaching on going to heaven. He said to his congregation, ‘How many of you would like to go to heaven tonight?’ Everybody raised their hands, except a little boy up in the balcony. The pastor tried again, ‘How many of you would like to ...read more

    Leaven Bread

    Something we don't want in our life.

    What our Lord is trying to get across to us. "What does the meal represent?" Very likely many of them would think back to the very first time the phrase "three measures of meal" appears in the Scriptures. It is in Genesis 18. Abraham was in his tent by the oaks of Mamre one day and he looked ...read more

    Separating The Wheat From The Weeds

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 8, 2015
     | 6,992 views

    While the forces of good and evil will be sorted out some day, there is still time for change until that day comes. It is a story about grace, patience and hope. Don’t we often look back on our own mistakes and become thankful that we had time to change?

    When I worked at a local lumber mill several years ago, part of my duties included grading lumber. By that I mean separating lumber according to its qualities as determined by both the National Lumber Grading Authority rules and common sense. In other words, I was separating good lumber from bad ...read more

    Faith only grows as it is exercised. Jesus gives us an example they understand as He talked to the disciples and to us.

    Sowing Seeds: Life, Faith, Service Sermon #3-Mustard Seed Faith Matthew 13:31-33 We have been in a series called Sowing Seeds; Life, Faith, Service. The first week we looked at God’s Word and how important it is to plant it in good soil and to get the most out of applying God’s ...read more

    The Two Meanings Of "End"

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 3, 2013
     | 2,169 views

    There are two meanings to "end," and as we reach the conclusion of a liturgical year, we must plan for both.

    One of the legends circulating that purports to prove the superiority of the new liturgical calendar and new lectionary is that in the Extraordinary Form, we hear Scripture readings that really belong to the beginning of the year, not the end. Let’s be honest. We aren’t talking about ...read more

    Hey, Preacher. Leave Those Weeds Alone. Series

     | 8,912 views

    We live in a world where wheat and weeds live together. How we live can convert the weeds to wheat. This sermon looks at a four step program to accomplish this.

    Last week we acknowledged the existence of two spiritual kingdoms. There is the kingdom of sin that established itself in rebellion against God’s rule. And there is the Kingdom of Jesus that is crying out for us to rise up against the kingdom of sin. We also acknowledged the fact that we ...read more

    Recipe For The Kingdom; A Pinch Of Yeast, A Tiny Seed, And An Empty Tomb. Series

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Mar 29, 2013
     | 6,844 views

    Jesus describes his Kingdom as a pinch of yeast and a mustard seed. But it is the empty tomb that makes these useful.

    Over the past few weeks we have spent a great deal of time discovering truths about the Kingdom of Jesus. We have discovered that it lives within us and empowers us to do great things for him. We have discovered that we are to co-exist in a world filled with sinners and influence them without ...read more

    Christians have often been caught asleep when they should be awake. While on earth, Jesus stressed the importance of readiness, alertness, preparedness: “Work while it is day for the night comes when no man can work.” The enemy is watching you. Get busy.

    THE ENEMY KNOWS YOUR SCHEDULE MATTHEW 13:24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, ...read more

     | 7,958 views

    as with all of Jesus’ parables there is “a message behind the message,” and this parable is no different. In a word, it’s not only important what Jesus said, but what He did not say!

    Sermon Preached at Grace Community Church (EPC) Sun City Grand, Surprise, AZ Sunday, March 14, 2010 by the Reverend Cooper McWhirter In a Manner of Speaking: The Parable of “The Wheat and the Tares” Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43 There are several interesting facets to this particular ...read more

    Proper 11 (A). Christ is patient and merciful to all. We are reassured of His victory over evil, now and in the world to come.

    “The Good Gardener” J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. Here it is, mid-July. The flowers, the crops, the vegetables, all are growing. But in the flower beds and the fields, the ...read more

    We are not the final judge of the world-that is God’s job. We are to remain faithful to God’s word even during hard times, but if we do go astray, we have opportunities to mend our ways. We have the time and the grace we need to make changes.

    Those of you who have tended lawns and gardens know how important it is to keep weeds under control. You have to pull them out or use chemicals. It’s a lot of hard work, especially if you have to figure out what is a weed and what is a good flower or blade of grass. After all, sometimes the ...read more

    We can learn a lot about teh nature of God's kingdom by understanding the power of yeast (Leaven).

    Parable of the Yeast We are in a series looking at some of the stories Jesus told. If we are Christians these stories matter because we are supposed to live a life like Jesus. His priorities should be ours. He is our Template, our Mentor, and our Example. If you are not a follower of Jesus, ...read more

    God answers to no authority, but he will deal gently with people until Judgment Day in order to set an example for his people. On the Day of Judgment, God will deal with the counterfeit Christians and those he judges to be evil and unrepentant at the same

    Introduction: I am almost 100% sure that I am preaching to some today who are tares. Now, you think you are saved. You hope to are saved.

    As individuals and as a church where do we stand when it comes to being the leaven? Are we pursuing to build a strong communion with Jesus Christ or being lured by the leaven of legalism, liberalism and materialism?

    Introduction: This passage/verse may seem tricky because that was doubtless the reaction of the disciples when they heard this little story. Our Lord arrested them with this story and shocked them somewhat. When he told them that there was a woman who hid leaven in three measures of meal they must ...read more
