    Understand The Message Of The Kingdom!

    Jesus explained the parable of the sower this way, "Consider, then, the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The seed sown on rocky...

    It Is The Truth That Will Set One Free!

    Which statement is correct: "If we gain eternal life, we will become a servant of heaven" or "If we become a servant of heaven, we will gain eternal life?"

    God's Service Versus A Church Service

    Recently, I read the following post on Facebook, "If we cannot enjoy a few hours in God’s service once a week in this world, it is plain to see that we could not enjoy an eternity in His service in the world to come... Too many have no heart for God’s service." This message spoke volumes of...

    For Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen

    “Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

    The Sower

    The Sower Matthew 13:1-23 Mark 14:1-20 Luke 8:4-15 Jesus Christ sat on a boat on the water because of the great crowd and there He told them parables. This crowd in particular are outside of God, which is why He told them parables and so they having eyes may not see and those having ears may...

    Walk As Jesus Walked

    "Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked." 1 John 2:6 If you have not listened to this message concerning today's local church system it is worth your time. The message speaks to how this religious institution got its start, why it continues to exist, why so many unknowingly...

    Are You Sure You’re Ready For The Return Of The Lord?

    “As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.” Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go...

    It Is All About Having A Personal Relationship With Jesus!

    Many people believe that becoming a “Christian” will give them citizenship in the kingdom of heaven, but in the end many will find out that they were greatly mistaken. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in...

    Receive The Kingdom Of God Like A Little Child Or You Will Never Enter It

    "Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them. But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God...

    The Kingdom Of Heaven Is About Faith And Growth

    "Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.” Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven...

    He Who Has An Ear, Let Him Hear!

    In the book of Revelation, our Lord told John, "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” Rev 1:11 John then wrote what was revealed to him concerning these seven churches (each their own church...

    Faith Without Deeds Is Dead!

    James 2:14-19 tells us, "What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.

    "preaching And Teaching"

    "Teaching scriptures from a spiritual context to those who are not born-again is like teaching caterpillars about the life of a butterfly.
