The Parables of Jesus The Bible is clear that there are two destinations for human beings when they leave this world: Heaven or “Hades” (the place of the dead who have not believed in Jesus).

The Parables of Jesus As everyone feels the effects of higher prices, the choices of what to do with the resources God has given you seems to become more and more difficult.

The Parables of Jesus The “lostness” of the people around us is so obvious to those who have been confronted by the reality of our own sin and the consequences sin brings in people’s lives and in the whole world.

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…
