Sermons on Submission To The Cross:

Slave Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 29, 2015

In this overlooked parable Jesus describes the life of discipleship in terms of service. Rather than focusing on our rights and needs, and deciding what we'd like to do, we need to focus on how we can serve our Master.

This has been called “the most troubling parable” in the Bible. Why does Jesus say we are like unworthy servants? I know I must have read this before, but somehow I glossed over it. I've got a lot of books on the parables of Jesus and most omit this one. A year ago an article in ...read more

A Simple And Reproducible Truth

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 22, 2014

The teaching of Jesus is not complicated. Love God and love others. We do this by serving people and sharing the Good News of Jesus with them. And Obey God. We do this by submitting to the authority of Jesus through prayer and living out His Will, His purpose and priorities.

Last week we discussed that the core of Jesus teaching is this truth, He must be at the center of all we do and think. Last Sunday we discussed the priorities of Jesus. His two priorities are to love God and others and to obey God. These are His priorities so they must be the priorities of ...read more

WINNING THE BATTLE AGAINST FAMILY CURSES Num 14:18 ‘The Lord is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.’ Iniquity- ...read more
