The Parables of Jesus During His ministry Jesus spoke of a “wedding feast” … a great banquet, hosted by God!! In His parables He spoke of invitations being given to many who then made excuses why they could not (or would not) come to the feast. In Matthew 22, Jesus uses this illustration to refer to the celebration of the coming of God’s…

“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”

The Parables of Jesus When people think of the word “philosophy” most probably think of a class you might take in college. Most people believe philosophy has nothing to do with them … yet every person who has ever lived has had a philosophy of life that they lived out, whether for good or for bad. Most people don’t even realize how their own…
The Parables of Jesus The parable of the Good Samaritan is perhaps one of the easiest parables of Jesus to understand, and perhaps one of the most difficult to DO … to live out!! The lesson is simple: Everyone God puts in your path is your neighbor, and God tells you to “love your neighbor as yourself!” Who does that?? Do we even begin to…
The Parables of Jesus Listening to Jesus tell parables, you might think He didn’t want people to understand what He was saying! However, Jesus came to reveal things that had previously been either misunderstood or totally ignored by most of the human race, from Adam and Eve forward. He spoke in parables, knowing that His Spirit would enable those whom God had chosen to…
The Parables of Jesus There are TWO groups of people in this world: those who are disciples of Jesus Christ and part of His kingdom, and those who aren’t. As Jesus taught His disciples, and also spoke to large crowds, He was continually pointing out the conflict between HIS kingdom and the “kingdom of this world.” Since the time of mankind’s fall into sin in…
‘THIS I KNOW!’ What do you KNOW about death??? Few people want to talk about it, but no one can escape it! God says, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). People have all kinds of ideas about what happens AFTER death … most of them untrue … but few really understand what death…
“Wisdom to Live By!” The pursuit of worldly riches seems to be what “the American dream” is all about. Few people are satisfied or content with what they have, and many are caught in the trap of believing that money and things can produce happiness. Yet the misery of those who pursue the things of the world is obvious to those who…
“Wisdom to Live By!” Pride is a roadblock to grace! You can be proud of a job well done and be thankful to God for giving you the opportunity and skills and strength to accomplish something that is good for you and others, and thus has the potential to glorify God as you testify to His work within you … but pride…
“Wisdom to Live By!” Lying causes all kinds of problems. Everyone knows that! Yet for those without the Spirit of God and faith in Jesus Christ, lying seems at times more convenient or easier than simply being honest and telling the truth. Even those who are born again and in whom the Spirit is working can be deceived by the old nature…
“Wisdom to Live By!” GOD is real!!! The God who created the universe, including the earth and the solar system in which this planet exists, holds all things in His hands and sees all things and knows all things. Yet, “the fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God!’” (Psalm 14:1). Rejecting the God who created them, people fashion for themselves…
