    Parables Of The Kingdom – The Second – The Wheat And The Tares – Part 1 Of 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 3, 2025
     | 215 views

    The Wheat and the Tares is a well-known parable and we dissect it to look at the meaning and practical issues involved. It has had application to the whole of Church history and today those in oversight in churches need to be very cautious and stay alert for the entry of false teaching.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE SECOND – THE WHEAT AND THE TARES – Part 1 of 2 We come to the second of the Kingdom Parables commonly known as The Parable of the Tares. Previously we studied the Sower and saw this to be the good seed sown by the Sower who is Christ, but taken up by His Apostles in ...read more

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 4, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,348 views

    There's an old saying "You get what you look for." What does Psalm 121 say God's people looked for, and what difference can that make in our lives as Christians?

    OPEN: They are called the “Songs of Ascent”. There’s 14 of them from Psalms 120 thru 134. At least 3 times each year, the Israelites would make their way to City of David… to worship God - the feast of Passover; the feast Pentecost; and the Feast of the Tabernacles. And as they made their way to ...read more

    Wild Praying Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 11, 2013
    based on 115 ratings
     | 30,481 views

    Do you believe in praying bold and wild prayers? Do you believe that if you asked God to do something "impossible" that He would? Frankly, the story in Acts 12 doesn't look like these folks believed that. Did God look down on them for their doubt?

    OPEN: Back in 1540 Martin Luther was very distressed. His good friend and assistant, Friedrich Myconius, was sick and was expected to die within a short time. From his bed Myconius wrote a tender farewell letter to Luther. When Luther received the message, he immediately sent back this reply: ...read more

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 4, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,831 views

    A good sign catches our attention and sends a clear message. What was it about the savior Jesus being wrapped and laid in a manger that God wanted us to see?

    I’m going to introduce a few interesting billboards that I saw recently, but before I do, I want to point out that the mark of a good billboard/sign is that– 1) It should catch your attention and 2) It should give you a clear message. In progression I showed a billboard from KitKat candy that had ...read more

    What Makes Us Worthy?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 23, 2018
     | 11,877 views

    What does the Apostle Paul mean when he says we can come to the communion table "unworthily"?

    Normally when I minister the first question I ask is “How is the blessed of the Lord?” I’m not going to do that today. I am going to make a declaration. You are the blessed of the Lord. You are the son and the daughter of God Almighty. Everything in heaven is available to you. You are healed. Your ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 74,406 views

    Can God supply all your needs? The Disciples struggled with that idea... and so do many of us. Why do we have such a hard time trusting God in this and how can we learn to believe Him more?

    OPEN: I once read the true story of a family that was sitting down at the dinner table for their evening meal. But one of the girls wasn’t happy because they were having leftovers, and she complained about it. The dad was not happy about that and spent a few moments explaining to her ...read more

    What did Joseph’s dreams mean for him? For others? For Israel? And did God give our nation’s founders a similar dream for America?

    OPEN: A lot of important things can happen to a person while they sleep. For example: 1. Genesis 2:21 tells of someone who had surgery performed on him while he slept. Who was that? (Adam) 2. Genesis 28:11-15 tells of a man who slept at Bethel and dreamed about angels. Who was that? ...read more

     | 24,458 views

    Faced with the threat of death, Elijah lost his faith that God cared for him and lost sight of God's power. Can that happen to us, and what can Elijah's experience teach us about our faith?

    Ever since there’s been a Post Office, it seems that children have written letters to God. Here are just a few of them: A little girl named Jane wrote: “In Sunday school they told us what you do. Who does it when you are on vacation? Another girl: “Thank you for the baby brother, but what I ...read more

    Jesus was asleep. The boat was going down. But didn’t Jesus know there’d be a storm? Then why would He ask His disciples to sail into the teeth of this terrible storm in the middle of the night?

    OPEN: A mother and her young daughter were at home alone. The father was gone on a trip for his company and night was coming on. Outside, it became increasingly dark and disturbing.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 18,799 views

    There was no room to be found for Mary and Joseph to stay in Bethlehem? Seriously? You'd think someone would have taken pity on a VERY pregnant woman that day, but no one did. Why not?

    Several years ago, a church held a Christmas pageant with a group of 4 year-olds. Everything went along pretty well until Mary and Joseph “arrived” at the inn. The 4 year-old Joseph asked: “Do you have any room for us?”. “No,” replied the innkeeper, “the inn is full.” “But it’s so cold outside, ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 30,232 views

    Israel was trapped, and afraid. And yet God had one simple message was: "Be still and trust me." But how could that kind of reaction help solve their problem? And how can it solve our problems as well?
