    The Parable Of The Tares

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 18, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,300 views

    How does Jesus’ parable, which argues for leaving tares undisturbed, square with admonitions in the epistles to discipline errant members of the congregation?

    Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 As far as the parables of our Lord are concerned, the one before us in today’s gospel is certainly clear. Some of them are not so clear, even when our Lord interprets them for his disciples; and others are left in the gospel record uninterpreted. This one, however, is ...read more

    Defend Discipleship Against Division Series

    Contributed by Luskey Green on Oct 1, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,802 views

    Defending discipleship against division caused by loyalty to a human persona creates an ongoing allegiance to our Master and Lord.

    Introduction Today, we tread troubled waters. We may ‘strain at the oars’ so to speak. Pride will be confronted today. It may even be a little painful. Believe me when I say to you, “This is necessary; to be the real deal, to be genuine and authentic, to become the group of disciples which is the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,113 views

    As followers of Jesus, we should expect to face opposition, but we can trust that God has "cut the cords of the wicked."

    Introduction Pastor Eugene Peterson tells a story from his childhood—a story about having to deal with enemies. For him it came in the form a school bully who beat him up every day after school. It seemed no matter how young Eugene tried to avoid him—in the forms of alternate routes and ...read more

    Praying For Others Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 13, 2011
    based on 55 ratings
     | 38,526 views

    Sometimes we wonder how to pray for missionaries and other leaders we have never met. Paul had never met the Colossians, but he faithfully prayed for them. His prayers teach us how to pray for others, whether we know them or not.

    COLOSSIANS 1: 9-12 PRAYING FOR OTHERS [Ezekiel 22:30] Every Christian can minister directly to the spiritual well-being of other believers without seeing or speaking to them. We can play a role in their spiritual growth, and even secure God's blessings for them. Intercessory pray accomplishes ...read more

    The Jews were very troubled with grace, because they needed laws to follow; particularly as the message of the New Testament suggested that they were above the law. They were very confused just like many Christians today. So let us put Grace into context.

    Christ-The Only Hope

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 6, 2012
     | 15,201 views

    The key word in today’s message is “hope.” And there is also the confidence in the truth, that Christ is the only hope! This year, 2003, is a year to acknowledge that truth. The claim that Christ is the only hope is a bold claim, because it eliminates a

    Title: Christ-the Only Hope Text: “Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, which has come to you, as it has also in all the ...read more

    When One Is Better Than A Crowd

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,006 views

    The church is one body and not many and yet unity is often hindered by such "diseases" as pride, self-sufficiency, ignorance and laziness. To "heal" we need first to die to ourselves and surrender to Christ who will change us.

    This week I heard devastating news from a friend of mine who will soon be ordained as a pastor. His son was just diagnosed with cancer. This is a young man, 18 years old, graduating from high school in just a few months and having to now face stage three cancer. It’s heart wrenching – ...read more

    The Gifts of God the Father at Christmas surely give us reason to wish others a "Merry Christmas".

    The Father’s Gifts at Christmas: The Visit Luke 1:67-75 When we receive “good news” we love to share it, especially when it comes to children and family. Because of Zacharias’ disbelief upon the news that his aged wife would have a child, Zacharias ability to speak was ...read more

    How can we develop a passion for God?

    Passion For God Matt. 22:37 A lawyer once asked Jesus what was the greatest commandment. I believe that Jesus' answer probably shocked him. See, the Pharisees had over 300 commandments that they had made up. They had gotten so caught up in the law, in keeping the law that they had forgotten what ...read more

     | 7,328 views

    In the days following his resurrection Jesus keeps appearing, eventually over 500 people are witnesses that he is alive. However the most important witness to the resurrection is that all Scripture points to the suffering, but risen, Saviour.

    Message Luke 24:36-49 Our King Jesus Proves He Is Alive When it comes to the importance of the resurrection Paul pulls no punches 14 If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. … 17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. ...read more

    This sermon reflects on what the John the Baptist says about Christ's coming and how we should prepare, and what Jesus says about when the end of the world will occur.

    Well, according to my count, we have about 12 days left until the world ends. Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’ve probably heard all about the Mayan calendar and how some say it predicts the world will end on December 21, 2012. Apparently, a stone tablet discovered in the ...read more
