King Of The Life We Dream About

Anyone who brings us the hope of a new life has the character of a king!

The parable of Matthew 25.31-46 presents the concrete and visible demands of our christian faith. Jesus is presented as the King of the life of the people of God.

Living At Four Corners

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 16, 2009

Rewritten for Montgomery Hills Baptist Church: a Silver Spring intersection is a metaphor for priorities in giving, teaching young people, engaging in healing, and sharing the Gospel with all.

To be a Christian is to live in tension with the world around you. You cannot live out your spiritual life in a cocoon; you live it out in the real world, in a community.
