Stories Jesus Told: Little is Much When God is In It Matthew 13: 31-33 “Little things mean a lot.” “Big things come in small packages.” These are both quaint sayings that we have heard all our lives, and they do, in some respects, represent the truth that Jesus was seeking to communicate in ...read more

Why did the farmer in this parable plant the mustard seed? Jesus doesn’t stress the harvest from this tree... only the fact that birds come and settle in its branches. Why?
OPEN: There’s a story about a student from MIT who spent an entire summer going to the Harvard football field every day wearing a black and white striped shirt walking up and down the field for ten or fifteen minutes throwing birdseed and blowing a whistle. Then he would walk off the field. At ...read more

The owner of a fitness center was offering $1,000 to anyone who was stronger than he was. He would squeeze a lemon dry, and then hand the lemon to anyone who wished to challenge him.

Be careful what lines you cross and whose box you jump into.
Drawing Lines and Little Boxes Recently I was described as one who draws lines all through their sermons. I was also told that I have a very small theological box and it was easy to surmise that neither comment was meant to be a compliment or to affirm that these were traits to hold on to and ...read more

What are we going to do with our children? Will we allow Satan to steal them, or will we speak the name of Jesus to set them free?

This was written for the second week in Advent and focuses on the differences that the events in Bethlehem made in the lives of some
Wow, the second week of Advent, and as we were reminded earlier the second candle to be lit on the advent wreath is the Bethlehem candle.

Contrasting the Gospel to the cultural gospel of loving yourself.

The difference between the world and God is very harsh when it come to children. God considers them precious, while the world often considers them expendable. What is God's attitude toward abortion and what can we do for those who struggle with that decision?
The passage I read this morning is intriguing. The story is recorded here in Luke as well as in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. And what I find interesting is that there’s this contrast between the views of the disciples… and Jesus. There’s this group of parents who are bringing “infants” to ...read more

A look at the story of Zaacheaus
The crowd surged toward the road, pushing and shoving to get a better look at the man named Jesus.

It was his first time to this ...read more

I have to tell you about my experience this week. This week I did something I’ve never done before. This might surprise you, but up until Tuesday, I had never voted in a voting booth. You see, I turned 18 when I was in Basic Training. From that point forward, I always voted absentee. If you’ve ...read more

The love of money can lead to discontentment and many dangers. Paul gave Timothy instructions about how to keep money in the right perspective and how to use it for good.
Introduction: A. In Calvin Miller’s book Requiem for Love, he begins a chapter with the words: A beggar asked a millionaire, “How many more dollars would it take to make you truly happy?” 1. The millionaire, reaching his gnarled hands into the beggar’s cup replied, “Only one more!” 2. This is the ...read more

No matter how small or insignificant we may feel, God can use us to create wonders, and we don't need to be perfect or have it all together for Him to do so.
Good morning, family. Today, we’re going to dive into the heart of a message that, I believe, needs to be heard in every corner of the world. It's a message that reminds us that no matter what we've got, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, it’s enough for God to create wonders. It's ...read more

We cannot play around with temptation because we are not strong enough to resist it for long, and when temptation is taken, it will always lead us into sin - away from God.

It’s always there waiting to entice us, and unless we are constantly on guard against it, we will slip and succumb to it. It might be the temptation of fear; the temptation ...read more
