    To understand the principles of prayer as outlined by Jesus is to inspire in me perseverance in my personal prayer life and ministry.

    No matter what activity you pursue, perseverance is a key factor in success. For the most part, people quit too soon. • It took Edison over ten thousand experiments to perfect the light bulb.

    I believe that God who showered His blessings & protection on Israel of old has done the same for us. And as he looked for a harvest of righteousness & justice from them, so is He also looking for such a harvest from us.

    This parable has been often called “the Parable of the Sower” but is probably more accurately described as "The Parable of the Soils." Everyone who hears the Gospel hears it in a different way. Some revile it, some reject it & some receive it. It is the “

    We may all be dirt, brought out of the dust of the ground, but we have a choice of what kind of dirt we are going to be -- Path dirt? Rocky dirt? Thorny dirt? or Good dirt? We are defined by the way we respond to the Word of God!

    A few observations from the passage: 1. All the different kinds of soil received the Word of God. This is a message about people who have received the Word. 2. A complete lack of fruitfulness from all, except one. Among the people in the church, there is no fruit, except in a small group of ...read more

    Each servant was motivated to serve in their own way because of their perception of their master and was rewarded accordingly. What can we learn about our relationship with God from this parable?

    This sermon was preached by our Family Minister, Scott Jewell, as a part of our Youth Sunday. It was preceded by a series of short skits that portrayed a modernized version of the Parable of Talents. The compiled video of the skits can be found at the following link: ...read more

    The focus is humility in prayer out of a realization that righteousness can not be reached by means of our own efforts. Prayers are heard & answered because of God's mercy not because of our self-justifying merits.

    LUKE 18: 9-14 [PARABLES IN LUKE] THE PARABLE OF THE PRAYERS [Luke 11:39-11;54] In this section Jesus tells a story of a Pharisee and a tax collector. Both were sincere and devout.

    Often used as the basis for teaching stewardship principles (tithing, time, etc.), perhaps this parable is meant by Jesus to teach stewardship of something a little more important?

    The Parable of Jesus The Parable of the Talents Matthew 25:14-30 August 30, 2009 This week is the parable of the talents. We’ll be looking at Matthew’s parable of the talents specifically.

    This is a sermon about dong more for God with what we have. No one is excused from working for God. This message is a challenge for Christians to do more and learning that they have been given the abilities, resources, gifts etc to do so.

    The Parable of the Mina Introduction: Ill. Once a man said, “If I had some extra money, I'd give it to God, but I have just enough to support myself and my family.” And the same man said, “If I had some extra time, I'd give it to God, but every minute is taken up with my job, ...read more

    A Parable Of Chutzpah

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 3, 2015
     | 3,724 views

    We need to approach prayer with a sense of bold, unhesitating urgency--with chutzpah. We have no worries--unlike the grumpy, groggy neighbor, God never slumbers and is always happy to hear from us.

    Jesus gave His disciples the Model Prayer, and followed with a story about someone in need of “daily bread,” a parable that conveys the attitude our prayers should have—we should approach God an unhesitating sense of urgency. The story was a common situation for our Lord’s ...read more

    In the parable of the sower, we see what could be called a Kingdom-of-Heaven condition; that is, it exhibits God’s present ruler-ship over the entire earth as He calls out a people to His name.

    Parable of the Sower The Gospel of Matthew is probably the key Gospel to the Bible, and chapter 13 is the key to this Gospel; therefore this chapter is very important. It provides us with a better understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven than any other passage. Here, Jesus for the first time ...read more
