Children Away From The Father's House

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Sep 19, 2023

This message is about discovering something or someone who is lost and how the joy that floods a soul-winner's heart cannot be described in words but can only be felt in a heart that has already experienced the grace of God.

The Parable Of The Participants And The Spectators

Contributed by Mike Hays on Apr 2, 2001

The 12 Apostles Of Jesus: Matthew

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 26, 2015

Jesus asked a "black sheep" to be one of the 12 apostles. It probably caused a stir among the apostles, and sure did with the Pharisees! But it changed Levi's life and he celebrated it with a party for Jesus!

Paralysis By Analysis

Contributed by Jack Warford on Apr 13, 2001

Many churches today have a paralysis brought on by analysis; they are so busy gathering and reporting numbers that their lambs and sheep are not being fed, and their flock is not being cared for. Resulting in spiritual paralysis.

Why are we so fixated on counting numbers? Why do most pastors think of success as it relates to numbers? Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus tell us to count the sheep. He tells Peter if you love Me then you will feed my lambs, care for my sheep, and feed my sheep. Many churches today have a ...read more

Luke 24:13-35 Matthew 25:31-46 Isaiah 53:1-3 This Emmaus scripture is a strange one isn’t it?
