    What should we do when we don’t feel worthy to come to God? What should we do when we come face to face with our own failures? The problem is that we don’t want to come to Jesus when we feel dirty.

    Purpose: To describe what godly repentance is. Aim: I want the listener to pray properly when they sin. INTRODUCTION: We have all failed God. We have all felt like failures. What should we do when we come face to face with our own failures? Jesus said we should come to Him: Matthew 11:28-30 28 ...read more

    The Kingdom Parables – The Fourth – The Leaven – Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 31, 2025
     | 45 views

    The study of the Kingdom Parables continues, this time the Leaven. There is misunderstanding on what the leaven really is and we look carefully at that. Also the Roman Catholic church and leaven; and the Jews and leaven. What does this parable mean in context?

    THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 1 [A]. INTRODUCTION TO THE PARABLE AND CATHOLIC TEACHING We are coming to the fourth parable in the set of seven Kingdom Parables that the Lord delivered and recorded in Matthew’s Gospel. This parable is known as The Parable of the Leaven. ...read more

    Our infinite, all knowing God created the precise conditions that are necessary to sustain life on the earth.

    This month, we are beginning a new series in the book of Genesis called “Dust to Life.” I believe Genesis is one of the most important books to study because it contains God’s revelation to the world of how life began, what life was meant to be, what the world has become because of sin and the ...read more

    Breakthroughs are not usually obvious and when breakthrough becomes obvious, it has usually been in process quite awhile.

    Divine Breakthrough Intro.: Breakthroughs are not always obvious. It’s often difficult to recognize their point of origin. They are like the “magic eye” pictures that we often see: On the surface it’s just a mass of colored dots. However, when we concentrate and focus on looking beyond the ...read more

    The old cliche, "No matter where you go there you are." should include and so is God. We may question why we are there, but He is always there for our good.

    Philippians 4: 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer ...read more

     | 7,935 views

    Many people struggle with this well-known parable. Jesus seems to condone rather selfish, shady money-dealing. Actually the Gospel of forgiveness lies at its heart: are we ready to forgive?

    I don’t know about you, but I do have certainly difficulties with this parable. I’ve always tended to skirt around them, I must admit. But with this text in front of me for this morning I was forced to think about it more seriously. And I find that many of the problems are actually only on the ...read more

    This is the final message in our Contrarian’s guide series. It’s all about learning to go deep with God.

    For the past few weeks we’ve been looking at stuff that goes contrary to popular opinion. Things like less instead of more, and living for more than me as number one, and how to slow down instead of hurry. It’s been a fun series for me personally, because I think I fall victim to the normal, the ...read more
