Casting Our Net Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

Just as the dragnet sweeps in all kinds of creatures, the kingdom will contain all kinds of people; meaning that God isn’t picky about who enters into heaven, so long as they confess Jesus as Lord and are committed to living for Him.

This evening we will be looking at “The Parable of the Dragnet.” What in the world is a dragnet? William Barclay says, “The dragnet is what we know as the seine net, a large net which has corks at the top and weights at the bottom so that it stands, as it were, upright in the sea.

Living Out Our Calling Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 12, 2018

The Lord through Paul calls us to get along, even when it's hard. He says to be humble, gentle, patient, and forbearing with our fellow believers. And through our efforts to do so, God will be glorified in the world. We pursue unity because God is one.

The Bible speaks of the Eyes of the Lord looking upon His people,(2Chron.16:9). We also read of the arm of the Lord bringing strength. I want to look today at the "Mighty Outstretched Hand of God."

Five times in the Book of Isaiah we read, "the hand of the Lord is stretched out still." (Is.5:25,9:12, 9:17,9:21,&10:4).
