Today, I want to examine two of the Parables that the Lord taught. First, let’s read about “The Parable of the Mustard Seed.”
In Matthew 13:31-32, we read, “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 13:31-32
This is a fascinating parable the Lord used in teaching something He wanted men to know about the kingdom of heaven.
Many of the things we hear about the kingdom of heaven today are not the truth. For example, many ministers today, if they do not come out and preach it, they imply that if you live a good moral life and attend church frequently, when you die you will go to heaven. But the fact is, the Bible ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 13:47-51
Jude sounds a warning of danger and he issues a call to action. He calls on the Called, the Beloved, the Kept for Jesus Christ to "earnestly contend for the faith".
A doxology is a short prayer or hymn of praise that extols the glory and majesty of God. Originally Jude (the brother of Jesus) planned to write about the "common salvation" V3 of the Brethren, but God changed his direction. God wanted us to know the reality and the danger of ungodly ...read more

This is the first time Jesus taught his first disciples about prayer. His first lesson was, “Spend time alone with the Father in prayer.” If we don’t follow his first lesson, we are not following the example or the command of Christ.
"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:6 A little boy was saying his bedtime prayers when his mother passed by his room and stopped to listen. “Bless Mommy and ...read more
