Many people start out following Jesus, but then they turn back, feeling forsaken, fatigued, fearful. This message gives encouragement and Bible examples.

The Bible is a picture of two kingdoms that are in conflict.

In spite of all the blessings and conveniences that we have, we grumble. Thank or thankfulness is mentioned 103 times in the Bible. Ingratitude is a sign of the last days.

The Lord trades places with us. He is our mediator. Jesus came into this world to model how we should live and give us the power and wisdom to live a new life.

There is power in words. Words can bring life, and words can bring death. God wants us to speak words of encouragement.

We are not saved by works, but how we live our lives shows whether or not we are truly Christian.

There are interesting similarities between the feast at Simon's where Mary anointed Jesus, and his burial where He was anointed again. We need to pay attention to Jesus while we still have time.

We are all called to be ambassadors for Christ.

Everything you give to God, you get back. What you keep for yourself, you lose. The key to happiness is sacrifice.

The parable of the workers in the vineyard is one of the most important parables. It can also be one of the most difficult and controversial parables that Jesus shared.
