    When The Kingdom Seems Unimpressive Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2025
     | 102 views

    The parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the yeast point us to a truth that's uncomfortable at first: the Kingdom might not look that impressive the first time you look at it.

    UNIMPRESSIVE: Jesus acknowledges that many will initially see the Kingdom as insignificantly small. - Luke 13:18-21. - Matthew 13:31-33; Mark 4:30-32. - I guess you could say that sometimes we hype up Jesus and His Kingdom too much. - “Who wouldn’t want this?” - “It’s so obviously true and ...read more

     | 1,204 views

    Small beginnings can lead to great things. If we do little things well, God will do big things through us. We should not underestimate the power of small beginnings and the impact they can have.

    Are You Auto-Correcting God?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 31, 2016
     | 5,467 views

    Smart phones have an auto-correction function that changes what you type even when you don't want it to. Christians often act like smart phones when they choose to believe something other than what God believes.

    Today we’re going to look at a warning related to altering the gospel. But this message will be just a little different and I hope to present it in such a way that it will cause you to think about it the next time you send a text message from your smart phone. Our society places a great ...read more
