Matthew 13:44

The Parables of the Kingdom are among some of the finest parables given by our Lord in all that He spoke.  The Jewish people of His day looked for a kingdom that was coming in power and a king ruling on a physical throne in a physical location.  The King had indeed come into their midst bringing with Him a kingdom of power, yet this kingdom was one that was to be established in the hearts of men! 

This sermon takes a look at these kingdom parables and in particular, the Parable of the Hidden Treasure.  May the Lord stir our hearts and may we meet Him again with passion and zeal, reviving our first-love love for Jesus our King!!  

John 14:1-3

Pastor Jason Wright delivers a very timely word, straight from the Bible, relating to the need in this perilous hour for every believer to have an upper room in their life.  A time where we can draw away from the many voices to hear from God.

May you be encouraged by this much-needed message.

Matthew 25:1-13

In this sermon, we examine the Parable of the Ten Virgins and in so doing find that there are those who are going to be ready when the Lord returns to collect His bride, and those who are not going to be ready!  Getting ready for the Second Coming of the Lord is not something that we can prepare for when He comes, we must be prepared for when He comes.

May the Lord speak to each one of us on this matter of preparedness.

Knowing the Bible for Yourself (Pt. 3)

In deciding to translate the Bible from one language to another, two questions must lie at the heart of the translation process.  #1, Accuracy and #2, Readability.  On one hand, one wants a translation that is as accurate and as close to the original languages as possible while at the same time being readable.  You may be thinking, why are we discussing Bible translations in a study looking at how to better interpret the Bible?  Isn’t the Bible just the Bible?  It is, but as will be demonstrated, one can make use of a range of different translations of the Bible in order to make better sense of the Bible. 

In this third teaching part, we explore the various translations available to the student of God’s word and the pros and cons of each.
