Jesus has overcome all that we could not, so that present in us could be faith, love and obedience.

The great picture of overcoming (the Lord's Supper) points to a day to come when we will commune with Jesus at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

As we begin Holy Week today let us continue to grow in knowing the One who has overcome so much on our behalf and may we overcome through Him to the end of this age.

This parable bids the church to ask, "How shall the church live?"

Jesus illustrates the various responses to the message of the kingdom emphasizing the soil – the heart of man, which is the place of decision.

Today we look at the true family of God and what their great joy is with the backdrop of a great danger.

What you say and do depends on, and reveals what you are.

From faith flows forth love and joy in the Lord.

Greater works are promised to followers of Christ because Jesus has gone to the Father.
