     | 1,943 views

    If you aren’t actively seeking out or using your gifts to build up the body of Christ, why not? It’s why you were made.

    I love bumper-sticker theology. And one of my favorites is, “Life is hard try reading the instructions.” Those of you who have assembled toys or furniture may have discovered this principle the hard way. I’ve neglected to count the parts. I’ve put things together upside down and backwards. When I ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 31, 2025
     | 235 views

    We continue the Sower, considering the seed that fell into rocky ground, the shallow soil, with a warning. Temptation plus affliction and persecution will in time burn and kill off any mere profession. These hearers are only temporary. Then we begin the seed choked in the thorny soil.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 3 of 5 Last time we finished thinking about the good seed that was wasted on the barren pathways and beside the roadway. There was nothing wrong with the seed, but the reception was nil because men closed their hearts to ...read more

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 4 Of 5 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025
     | 164 views

    We are studying the third soil in the Parable of the Sower and now consider the reasons why the good seed gets choked by thorns. How many of us know someone who walked as a strong Christian but just departed the faith? It is a complex matter and we try to see why that happens.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 4 of 5 In the last message we did the seed that fell on the rocky soil, and we also did some of the seed that was choked by thorns. We will finish that choked seed this time. Let us revise the relevant verses from last ...read more

     | 9,668 views

    Some of us are a little bit lame in our life because our life has gotten off track. Our expectations of the things of this world let us down, and we need to refocus on the person of Jesus Christ.

    I’m glad I got to speak about Acts chapter 3, because chapter 3 is kind of like one of those first huge miracles of the Church after the day of Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit was given. I want to pick up on the story because...now Peter has just received the Holy Spirit. He came on 120 people. He ...read more

    Failures

    Failure is an important subject to study because many of us suffer a fear of how others see us rather than thinking about what God wants us to do.

    Failure is an important subject to study because many of us suffer a fear of how others see us rather than thinking about what God wants us to do.
