Sunday, February 27, 2022 - "Parable of the Weeds". We are continuing our series on the Parables of Jesus and as we do, I continue to be amazed at the depth of Jesus teaching. He gives us great challenges and comfort at the same time. His challenge comes in the form of teaching us how to live daily in the midst of the world and His comfort comes in knowing that HE is still in control no matter what our worldly situations are. This parable says that the 'wheat" and the "weeds" are going to grow together until such time that the harvest comes. In this growing time, we are going to be tempted to give up and give in to the evil pressures of the world. Do you know what that feels like? I'm assuming you do. But the encouragement that we're given is that God knows all about our temptations, just like He knows who sowed the "weed" seeds in the first place. If He knows that then He knows how to keep us and protect us until He takes us home... Whether that be at the Rapture of the church or in our own personal rapture at death, rest assured He will never leave us on our own... Be blessed as you worship and study God's Word with us. Greater is He that is in us than is he that is in the world!

Sunday, February 20, 2022 – As we are continuing in our discussion on the Parables of Jesus – we’re pausing today to remind ourselves how important it is to prepare our hearts to receive what God has for us. This is a little different type of message as we are going to watch and then discuss a recent post Pastor Mike posted on FB in this regard. The point is, that life doesn’t offer “re-do’s”, we will give account for our actions. If it wasn’t for the amazing Grace of God, we all would be in a very bad place. Thank God for His grace and then let’s live in an obedient relationship with Him to maximize our time and efforts in this life with eternity in mind.

Sunday, February 13, 2022 – Today we are studying the “Parable of the Sower”. It’s interesting that Jesus begins the number of parables He speaks in Matthew 13 with this discussion on the condition of the soil of a man’s heart as it pertains to his/her ability to hear, understand, and apply the Word of God. Jesus compares the heart of a person, with the various conditions of the soil as a farmer would scatter the seed at the beginning of the growing season. We’re going to discuss what this means throughout the message today. What we’re going to prepare our hearts for is to answer the question at the end of which group of people we’re in? The group that readily hears, understands, accepts, and applies Godly principles and truths that change us to be productive and fruit-bearing in the Kingdom, or are we going to find ourselves in the group that – for various reasons – rejects the word of God and all His truths and finds ourselves unfit for the Kingdom. Worship and study with and ask the Holy Spirit to prepare your heart to hear what the Lord has to say…

Sunday, February 6, 2022 – We are beginning a new series on the Parables of Jesus. But before we can begin, we must answer the question the disciples asked Jesus, Why Parables? Why did Jesus choose to speak in parables knowing that many people didn’t understand what the parable meant? Parables in a way can be thought of like a riddle, that need to be explained if they are to be understood. This was such an obvious transition in Jesus’ teaching style that it caused the disciples to point-blank ask Jesus, why do you speak in parables? That’s what we’re going t explore today. This is a very important message, because, if we are going to be part of the group of people the parables were meant for, our hearts must be eager to hear the Word of God. It’s the hardened and resistant heart that Jesus wasn’t intending to understand because they have proven themselves only to pick apart the teaching and in so doing discredit it or to justify their lifestyle of choice that is in opposition to God’s Word. The question that really needs to be asked is, which one are you? The true believer that’s eager for God’s or the false believer that isn’t? Worship and study God’s Word with us…
