We wanted to put up a quick note that because we think the coming storm is imminent (although probably still months away) and important enough, we are going to post only blog posts about that until we’re written all we have to say on that subject. We will continue the series “Laws in [...]

Let’s add a few words about tithing that have come up since we last wrote on the subject. We’re going to address a couple of issues which have come up where maybe we didn’t fully cover them before. We’ve had a few people asking two major questions and while we’ve somewhat answered these [...]

Today and tomorrow we’ll look at Jesus’ two major miracles of Ch.14, and hopefully come to better understand how we can see more of the miraculous in our lives.

After teaching the parables of the Kingdom, Jesus went to His hometown to teach.
Ahh home, the place where you’re loved and respected, right? That’s not what Jesus found. It is not an uncommon thing for a prophet or messenger of God to be rejected by God’s own people, usually represented by the religious and/or civil [...]

God reveals the Kingdom of Heaven directly to us through the simple. Jesus taught in parables which we began discussing with the sower. Today, Jesus will show us how His Kingdom spreads, what we need to do to enter it, and how God’s judgment at the end of time will look.
2. Matt. 13:31-33 The Parable of [...]

“Listen, O my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,” (Psalm 78:1-2)
