    Looking past All the Powerful, so called Important people, to see the one who really matters, Christ.

    It’s Time To Stop Pretending Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,642 views

    We are more like the Pharisees than we would like to admit - hiding our true selves from others and from God and blaming external things for the consequences of our own behavior. But Jesus offers real hope if we will open up to Him in relationship.

    The act of projection involves blaming things outside of yourself for your problems. The act of denying personal responsibility means it is the fault of your spouse, your boss, the government, the weather, or even that tool you were using. The Pharisees were masters at projection, and as it turns ...read more

    The Roadsigns Of Faith

    In times of confusion and angst, sometimes people want a sign that God is around. This message reveals God's roadsigns, that point to life with him.

    INTRO Have you ever wanted proof – a sign, something tangible that you could see, touch, taste, feel with your senses that God really exists, something beyond the extraordinary? People everywhere are always looking for a sign that God exists, that God is moving in and through their ...read more

    The Jonah Connection Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jun 10, 2015
     | 8,995 views

    Jesus makes a connection to Jonah and his "sign" to the people. The connection appears when he and the disciples cross the Sea of Galilee and face the storm before he cast out the Legion of demons from the possessed man.

    1. Swallowed by Whale In the late winter of 1891, the whale-ship 'Star of the East' was in the area of the Falkland Islands when it sighted a whale. Two boats were sent out with harpoons to catch and kill the creature. But the whale's lashing tail overturned one of the boats spilling the crew into ...read more

    The Stubborn Missionary

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 1,761 views

    More than Jonah could ever understand, Jesus reveals the greatness of God’s mercy. God’s mercy is for sinners. His mercy is for Jews, it’s for Gentiles, it’s for people of ever nation, for all who seek him.

    What does someone do when they’ve been rescued from great danger—pulled from a burning house, or saved from drowning? Or how does a person act after his life’s been spared: when he should’ve been killed, but someone had mercy? A natural response is the desire to tell people about it. Because what’s ...read more

    Jesus Answers A Demand For A Sign Series

     | 11,167 views

    The “unclean spirit” is Satan or his demons. Satan delights in causing uncleanness in persons, places and things. His going out of a man, as presented here, is voluntary, not like his eviction by force as when Christ cast out demons.

    Harmony of the Gospels -AD 28- Capernaum Title: Jesus Answers a Demand for a Sign Matthew 12:38-45, Luke 11:24-26, 29-36 -Matthew- 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house ...read more

    What Bible study will do

    A. INTRODUCTION: WHAT BIBLE STUDY WILL DO 1. Before examining what Bible study will do for you, ask, “Why people don’t study Scriptures.” a. Not know what it offers. “Have ye not read the law?” (Matt. 12:4). b. Blinded. “They couldn’t believe, as Isaiah said . . . God has blinded their eyes . ...read more

    Jonah’s experienced in the belly of the great fish foreshadows the pattern of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

    God Of Mission

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 17, 2021
     | 1,966 views

    Talk 2 in my five-talk series on Jonah. Mission is God's mission. In the story of Jonah - and especially in view of what Jesus says about Jonah - we recognize that God is the master strategist in mission and he's breathtakingly creative.

    Jonah Talk 2: God of Mission Last week I started a new series on Jonah. My major theme last week was how compassionate God is. At the time of Jonah, the Assyrian Empire was expanding. Historians of the Middle East tell us how cruel the Assyrian rulers were. I spared you the grizzly details. ...read more

    We may not see Christ's triumphant presence in our lives, but He will give us the grace of faith to know that He is always here.

    Monday of 16th Week in Course Evil and adulterous generations are always seeking signs. That is to say, people who resist the call of Jesus say, “I’ll reform my ways when I see something that unequivocally tells me that I’m wrong.” They are looking for crosses in the sky, or thunderous voices ...read more

    The Watchful Servants

    You need the real meat that is the Holy word of God so you can discern the times and see how near the Masters coming is. You are not to fall into idleness or be defeated by being beaten down by this world of distraction. WATCH!

    The Parable of the Watchful Servants Luke 12:35-48 Message: God’s plan to redeem the world to Himself involved the birth, life, death and resurrection of His son Jesus Christ. Jesus remains the key figure in God’s plan but many have dismissed Jesus imminent return and have allowed their hearts ...read more

    In the end, God prevails and Jonah misses the point. The book ends with our graceful and merciful God reconciled with the city turned around and our not so heroic prophet still angry. BUT Jesus still calls him, His Prophet!!

    Matthew 12:38-41 (NKJV) “He is Greater” The Seeker (Teacher, we want to see a sign from You) The “Seeker Sensitive” Church (God does not hide – If you seek you shall find) Romans 3:11 quotes Psalm 14 “There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.” John 6:26, Jesus answered ...read more

    Four keys to a life that makes a difference for God: 1. The faith we must embrace (vs. 38-40). 2. The future we must face (vs. 41-42). 3. A fight we must win (vs. 43-45). 4. The family we must belong to (vs. 46-50).

    So, you've been swallowed by a fish. What next? This message looks at that scenario and offers solutions.

    What’s the worst that could happen? It’s a question that we often ask ourselves, or at least it’s a question that I often ask myself, maybe you never ask yourself that question. Maybe I’m just strange. But what happens when it’s worse than you could have imagined? When you underestimated the ...read more

    A house divided, the unpardonable sin, the sign of Jonah, and our place as the brethren of Jesus.

    A DEMON CAST OUT. Matthew 12:22-50. The spiritual blindness of the people opposed to Jesus is demonstrated in their reaction to His good works. Their refusal to hear His message is echoed in their speaking out against Him. MATTHEW 12:22. A demon-possessed man, who was physically both blind ...read more
