Parable Of The Sower

by

By Grant Phillips The Parable of the Sower is found in Matthew 13:3-23; Mark 4:1-20 and Luke 8:4-15. I will be using the Matthew account. At this point in our Lord’s ministry He began speaking to the people in parables. Have you ever wondered why? The disciples did. At first He was speaking plainly, and then all of a sudden He starts speaking in parables. Beginning at verse ten we read,“And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” Jesus responded by saying, “… To you it has been granted to know the …

A Debt Paid in Full

by

God the Father sent His Son Jesus to shed His blood on the cross in payment for the sin debt we owed Colossians 2:13-1413 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Mankind has a debt problem. In the physical world, our desire for a higher standard of living and more …

DEATH…PRECIOUS?

by

PSALM 116:15_________________________________________“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints .” How can death be a consolation of a welcomed experience? Death is man’s most feared and dreaded enemy. I once knew a person who feared death so much that he would not drive down a street where there was a cemetery for fear that death would visit him sooner. The world has good reason to be tortured by the thought of death. Non-Christians are petrified of death because they must yield to its relentless advances. Yet, how then can death be precious to the Christian? …

If Mary was sinless, why was she unclean and had to offer a sacrifice for sin?

by

by Matt Slick Roman Catholics teach that Mary never sinned.  But, if that is the case, why did she need to offer an atonement according to Old Testament Law (Lev. 12:1-8) after giving birth to Jesus?  According to the Old Testament, it was only the mother who needed purifying after a birth because of the […]

“I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.” Ezekiel 34:26

by

Here is sovereign mercy–“I will give them the shower in its season.” Is it not sovereign, divine mercy?–for who can say, “I will give them showers,” except God? There is only one voice which can speak to the clouds, and bid them beget the rain. Who sendeth down the rain upon the earth? Who scattereth the showers upon the green herb? Do not I, the Lord? So grace is the gift of God, and is not to be created by man. It is also needed grace. What would the ground do without showers? You may break the clods, you may …

THE PURSUIT OF HUMILITY

by

Ephesians 4:1 – 4:34 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. To accomplish anything in life, we must set a goal and devote our energy and time to achieving it. When people don’t realize that God has objectives in mind for their lives, they just float aimlessly. Not only does God have specific aims for each of us individually, but He also …

The World That Was

by

By Pete Garcia February 20, 2019 “In early 1914, though, it seemed almost impossible that Britain and France would go to war with Germany to defend Russia against Austria-Hungary over a dispute with Serbia. Yet by June 28, war moved straight from impossible to inevitable — without ever passing through improbable. Four years later, 10 million people […]

The Voice Of One Crying In The American Wilderness

by

Dr. Mike MurphyFebruary 22, 2019 A young pastor made his way to a small town to preach a sermon he had been asked to deliver.  Not knowing the town well, he asked a young boy if he could tell him where the post office was so he could mail a letter he needed to send.  After the boy gave him directions, the pastor thanked him and said, “If you come to church tonight, I can tell you how to get to Heaven.”  The young boy thought for a minute and then answered the pastor.  “No, thank you, sir.  I do …
