The Supreme Question As most of you know I am a California boy. The strange weather, the fires and earthquakes that can be shocking to many people here are all quite normal for a Californian. We take it is stride and don’t give it much thought. That was the case in Southern California in 1998. The Orange…

31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.” 33 He told…

Again, we find Jesus withdrawing to be with His disciples. He knew the end would be coming - very soon. But there was still SO much to teach and to tell them.

The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him,…

Matthew 16-17 Saving Private Ryan is probably not the first thing that would rise to the top of anyone’s mind while reading through the book of Matthew. It sure wasn’t for me. Extra-violent war film and all that. But one of the characters from that movie is, I think, of some relevance to the portion…

Following Jesus Matthew 16:24–26 (NKJV) 24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is…

James 1:1-8 We have been walking through this journey to discover the Truth about our Eternal Security.

Fisher of Men Why is the term “Fishers of Men” used by Jesus? What does it take to be a “fisherman”?

Over the past few weeks we have begun this new series on the foundations of our faith. The background behind all of this is to make sure that we have a firm foundation under us and what we believe.

If we remember back to last week, Jesus has been asked to perform miracles so that the Pharisees and Sadducees could bring charges against Him.
