If I was to tell you that you only had five years left of your life, how would you live it? Everyone of us knows that we only have one life to live.

In the previous chapter, Jesus told us a parable of prodigal son. It was actually a story about the prodigal’s older brother as Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, who were hard hearted towards those who sought out forgiveness. He compared them to how the elder brother reacted when the prodigal came…

What are we to make of today’s parable taught by our Lord. As I shared two weeks ago: Jesus, as God in the flesh, entered into a specific time and place in history to convey eternal truths – and to do so, he needed to communicate in a way that would be easily remembered and transmissible.

Little things Make a __________ out of a mole hill. Find a ___________ in a hay stack. A ________ through the eye of a needle. All of these sayings point to something small. Small things can be hard to find, be blown out of proportion, or even make things impossible. In many ways, Jesus warned us to…

Main Idea Elders are the functional leaders of the church. If you have visited churches other than your home church, odds are, you have encountered a variety of ways a church can be governed: There is the CEO model, where the Senior Pastor is the top dog and holds all of the power. There are congregational-led…

God’s Unusual Characters become the important people in the histories of Israel. I won’t give the recap again today, as we are still in the story of Joseph, the 11th son of Jacob Israel.
