    When you consider what Jesus offers, it’s a wonder that people arn’t queing up to obey the gospel isn’t it? But, sadly, so many wont come to Jesus. Why not? This lesson offers several reasons.

I’m going to be rich…rich I tell you!’ goes up the cry from an excited prospector. We must forgive his excitement, after all, he’s been digging in those hills for weeks and found ...read more

    The Lord directed His disciples back to the Scriptures, and when they understand it, they were filled with joy and hope. They saw the living Christ in their midst.

    Two disciples were walking with Jesus but they did not recognise him. • They could tell Jesus what had happened, but they did not understanding it. • Jesus said, “How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!” (v.25) • He took time to explain the ...read more

    Refusing to unite with a church because of the presence of hypocrites reveals abject ignorance of Christ and His people.

    “When you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is ...read more

    How Prepared Are We, Really?

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Oct 24, 2020
     | 5,380 views

    In the parable of the 10 virgins, the whole point is being ready - truly ready - for coming face to face with Jesus - either when He returns or when we go to Him. This message, which relies heavily on William Barclay for context and content in the first part, explores this theme.

    How Prepared Are We For Jesus? If we look at this parable with western eyes, it may seem an unnatural and a "made-up" story. But it actually telt tells a story that could have happened at any time in a Palestinian village and which could still happen today. A wedding was a great ...read more

    Of all the things scripture expresses concern about, it is "deception" among God’s crown creation.

    Matthew, Mark and Luke record an interesting verbal interchange between Jesus and His disciples. It concerns the “end of days.” They asked Him, “tell us about the sign of the end.” Jesus’ initial response was almost ominous, “watch that no one deceive you”… Have you ever been deceived? How did ...read more

     | 2,297 views

    In chapter 5:12-21, we discovered that sin entered the world through Adam, who was the head of the human race.

    His one sin plunged the whole human race into sin, because all mankind was in his loins when he sinned. The Bible tells us that mankind is born into sin, but even if It did not state this, it would not be hard to prove. Illus: All you have to do is watch a newborn baby. You will see immediately: ...read more

    Is it really necessary, all this honesty with other people?

    Jesus said, “I am the…truth….” This is truth with a capital T. [1] And if we subscribe to that, Paul’s follow-up text in Ephesians 4:25, to speak that “capital-T” kind of truth to each other, cannot be ignored. Truth spoken is often confrontational. The ...read more
