    Recap of the PARABLE OF THE SOWER (aka Parable of Soils)

    In Matthew 13, Jesus teaches us the Parable of the Sower. This Parable is not left open to every individual's personal interpretation, for Jesus reveals the meanings of the symbols later in the Chapter. Matthew 13: 3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went...

    Fasting

    To fast or not to fast? It's Communion time again at our church. My previous pastor used to suggest that we fast before Communion. That got me thinking about where Jesus stood on this matter. Was He for, against, or neutral on the matter of fasting? Is fasting a required part of the Christian...

    "There be some standing here..."

    Matthew 16:28 “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” As I pondered the possible meaning and application of this verse, another verse popped into my head... Job 19:26 “And though after my skin...

    "What must I do to be saved?"

    "What must I do to be saved?" This was the question posed by the Philippian Jailor after witnessing prison doors miraculously opened and prisoners miraculously set free from there bonds. Jesus' death on the cross made possible the opening of spiritual prison doors and release from the bonds of...

    Confess, Repent, and Believe.

    Many here at CC seem to be preaching a strange false doctrine which suggest that some are born saved and never have to make a decision to come to Jesus and invite Him into their heart. Salvation and redemption is available to all, but one must first humble themselves, confess they are sinners...

    Will we be known as men and women in the Coming Kingdom? Will I remember my father as my father and my mother as my mother?

    Jesus Loves You

    Jesus loves you. That's not just wishful thinking; that is a fact. It does not matter whether you are a Christian or you are not. Jesus died for the dirty and the sick. We all started out that way. He wants to pick you up, brush you off, and give you a new start. If you are a Christian who...

    Under The Sun

    Life under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity. 1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? 1:4 [One] generation passeth away...

    Walk in love and light

    Salvation has two parts. God did His part on the Cross. Our part to walk (not work) in the light. Works are actually things that God accomplishes through us when we walk in love and light. See Ephesians 5:2,8. Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 5:2 And walk in...

    Sinking The Ship

    God will certainly require your gold if it is the thing which might sink your ship in the next storm. Luke 18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute...

    In a short time...

    In a short time, He shall give me all things. Let me, here and now, in the stillness of this silent night, ponder upon this. Don't get me wrong. I'm not thinking about things like a big bank account or a fast car. I'm thinking of the truly precious things that matter most of all. Now that I...

    "Will the Circle be unbroken?"

    "Will the Circle be unbroken?" No. Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not! Matthew 10:34...

    Come as you are. Come today.

    Nothing is required but your signature on the dotted line. The Blood is in the inkbottle. Do not wait until you are perfect to come to Jesus. We must not. It is not until after you come to Jesus that you can experience victory through Him. Matthew 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they...

    The Written Word

    The Written Word is the Bible. What would you tell someone if they were to ask you why they should consider the Bible to be different from any other book?

    Different Approaches?

    In John 8, Jesus presents the Gospel to both the Woman taken in Adultery and then to the Pharisees. Compare and contrast any differences you might see in Jesus' presentation of Salvation. Why didn't Jesus say exactly the same thing to each, or do you think Jesus did? Jesus focuses on the common...

    Beautiful Sunset

    I have morning devotions for our Church school tomorrow. Thought I might as well post it here too. Beautiful Sunset. As I sat down last night to talk to God about what to say this morning, the most beautiful sunset came shining through my window. Sunsets are beautiful, did you know that? I'm...
