The widow's offering. 4 verses, we often breeze through them and pull out a few tried and true statements about giving. But a deeper look gives many more principles to apply.
Here's what I want us to see: this is part of a bigger story. This isn't just a talk about giving, but it's a continuation of what's been happening with the scribes and Pharisees. To fully understand this set of verses, we actually have to back up to the last couple of verses of ...read more

The authority of Jesus teaching caused the demons to reveal themselves in protest. The authority of Jesus' command causes sickness to immediately cease. How does that same authority operate in the lives of believers today?
Today we're going to deal with two topics that can be somewhat controversial within the church: the demonic and healing. We're going to dive into the Word of God, lay some proper foundation today, and let's pray first because that's where we need to go. Father, we come before You. ...read more
Scripture: Luke 4:31-41
Explore the themes of living the Golden Rule, discerning false prophets, and producing good fruit in our lives as believers.
Good morning, everyone! You've probably heard the statement, "Walk the talk." It's a common phrase used to remind us that our actions should match our words.

As the title of the message suggests, I want to point out and talk about three foundational themes that are essential to the Christian Life.
In the earliest formation of acting, method actors were likely to be trained thespians. The original actor, Thespis, performed in Greek amphitheaters. Actors were called hypocrites, a Greek word meaning "one who wears a mask." These hypocrites shielded their identity, wore a mask, to ...read more

A house divided, the unpardonable sin, the sign of Jonah, and our place as the brethren of Jesus.
A DEMON CAST OUT. Matthew 12:22-50. The spiritual blindness of the people opposed to Jesus is demonstrated in their reaction to His good works. Their refusal to hear His message is echoed in their speaking out against Him. MATTHEW 12:22. A demon-possessed man, who was physically both blind ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 12:22-50
Sin begins in the heart, and from thence proceeds out of the mouth, thus defiling the man.
THE WAR AGAINST SIN. Matthew 15:10-20. MATTHEW 15:10-11. Jesus turned away from the Pharisees and summoned the crowd to Himself. “Hear and understand,” He taught. Despite what the Pharisees might teach, “it is NOT that which goes into the mouth which defiles a man; but that which comes out of ...read more

The short and often neglected letter of Jude is a challenge to believers to stand strong in the faith in the face of false teaching. A valuable lesson to Christians in all ages.
Open up your Bibles to Jude. When is the last time you heard that? Jude is the next to the last book of the New Testament, right before Revelation. It doesn’t rank up there on the list of most popular books in the Bible. Not many quotes from Jude are on your refrigerator or being cross stitched for ...read more
