Running Pastor

As we look in Matthew 18:10-14 and see a parable that may seem familiar to many of us, we see an application of it that may not be. How we should follow God's example of love and care for all Christians.

In Matthew 15:10-20 Jesus gives us a parable that helps us to understand how it is that people become unclean, and what they then have to do in order to become clean. In this text we are also challenged to rethink some of the things we may have been taught growing up.

Bro. Nick Johnson shares with us from Deut 31about the end of Moses leading of Israel and who God chose to succeed him. We are also reminded that God is ultimately the One who is leading His people at all times.

As Jesus takes us through the parables about Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price we understand that the kingdom of heaven is costly, but it's value is much greater than its cost! Matthew 13:44-46

Bro. Will Wall takes us to Revelationh ch. 3 where we look at the letter to Laodicea and are reminded of the importance of being dependent on God and not feeling self sufficient.

Bro. Will Wall shares some insights about the conduct of husbands and wives in drawing their spouses closer to the Lord from 1 Peter 3:1-7.

In Matthew 13:31-33 Jesus reminds (or teaches) us that the, when it comes to the Kingdom of Heaven, there is more than what meets the eye.

In Matthew 13 Jesus uses a field mixed with good and bad to help us understand our standing in His kingdom and what awaits all people at the Day of Judgment,

We look at Jesus' parable of the soils and see that the majority of people that hear the Gospel will reject it, that few will receive and accept it, and how you can tell one group from the other.

To begin our "Parables of Jesus" series we look at the parables of the new patch/old garment and new wine/old wineskin to see how John's disciples were trying to mix the new covenant ushered in by Jesus' birth with their old covenant lives.
