    32nd Sunday Ordinary Time, Year A Joshua 24:14-24 & Matthew 25:1-13 Making a choice to serve God for the "long hull" is the most important choice of our lives.

    The Choice is Yours… Choose Wisely Joshua 24:14-24 & Matthew 25:1-13 One of the greatest abilities that separates humans from the rest of God’s creation is our ability to recognize alternatives, to weigh options and their possible consequences and then to make a informed decision.

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The Third - The Mustard Seed - Part 3 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025
     | 101 views

    We have seen how the parable of the mustard seed matches to church at Pergamum, and in this study today we look into that letter John wrote. In that church God wanted overcomers. We’ll consider the Nicolaitans, the hidden manna, the white stone with the new name.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE THIRD - THE MUSTARD SEED - PART 3 of 4 In the second Part we focused on Constantine who married the church to the State with his Babylonian paganism. The church was weakened after that point as it embraced these evil doctrines of the birds of the air. The mustard ...read more

    Three Parables, One Heart: The Father's Love

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jun 16, 2025
     | 530 views

    This exposition of Luke chapter 15 begins with a very personal story, highlighting how God even uses human frailty as a means to His grace.

    Once upon a time, in the summertime, there was a 16-year-old young man struggling to find his way. His father held a particular secular and materialistic philosophy about life and making meaning in the world—something the young man had tried to embrace, but it ultimately left him feeling empty. ...read more

    Is this text about how a Christian should manage money?

    Don’t Just Wait for the King! Luke 19:11-28 Introduction I have heard this passage as well as a similar one in Matthew and Mark preached on these money programs on the radio, as though it was concerned with investments. This is part of a comprehensive program on money management which ...read more

    Being "re-Found"

    Are you the rebellious son, lost and far from God? Are you the self-righteous Pharisee, no longer capable of rejoicing when a sinner returns to God?

    Luke 15:11-24 'And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ (Luke 15:23, 24) Is Re-found really a word? Well, technically, no. But for this devotional and this lesson ...read more

    Parables Concerning The Kingdom, Part 1 (Matthew 13:1-23)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2025
     | 251 views

    Matthew, Chapter 13, presents a series of stories, or parables, Jesus used to illustrate the concepts of the kingdom of God, the approaching judgment, and the work of the devil. Listen, if you have ears to hear.

    The thirteenth chapter of Matthew's gospel focuses upon the parables of Jesus. As the Master got into a boat while teaching the people on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, He told a story about a man whose job it was to sow seed into ground that had been tilled in order to grow crops. In the ...read more

    People love to attend wedding receptions. There is food, wine and music. Jesus was the life of every party. He made better wine when the old wine ran out. Jesus loved celebrations. (Quote from Leonard Sweet)

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Unjust Judge And The Persistent Widow

     | 2,483 views

    Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't.

    And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear. The Lord used these parables to convey a truth to the listeners then, and to His listeners now, by taking a physical situation to teach a spiritual truth. Luke 18:1-8 is a parable about prayer. This is made clear ...read more

    In order to understand the parables of Matthew 13 one must begin with Matthew 12 and the challenge of the Pharisees. These parables are about those who are receptive to the Word of God. The farmer scatters the seed. Let God do His thing. Tell "God Stories."

    Do you know who your neighbor is? Is it that person who lives next door to you, or who lives across the street? Yes, that person is your neighbor, but it goes farther than that, and we should be ready to help those who are in need.

    The parable of the talents begins and ends with the master. Perhaps it is not about the talents, then, but the master.

    “Connected: A Good Designer” Ephesians 4:7-13; Mathew 25:14-30 Some labels miss the point and purpose of their product’s existence. For example, a hair dryer had this instruction label: “Don’t use while sleeping.” Or consider this one on a toilet at a public ...read more

    as with all of Jesus’ parables there is “a message behind the message,” and this parable is no different. In a word, it’s not only important what Jesus said, but what He did not say!
