The Parable of the Hidden Treasure

From one perspective, the Christian life might look like sacrifice and from another it might look like gain. For example, take the Apostle Paul who was whipped, stoned, imprisoned and hunted the entire time he followed Jesus. He certainly made sacrifices. But from another perspective, Paul didn't "sacrifice" anything. From his perspective, his life looked like gain. Throughout Paul's journeys, he experienced a joy unlike anything he'd ever known before, a joy that made al the losses he experienced seem like nothing. This Sunday, we learn more about the joy that comes from discovering the treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Tares in Heaven's Kingdom

What is the Kingdom of Christ (Kingdom of Heaven) like? Jesus teaches us parables that begin to answer this question. The first thing He wants us to know about His Kingdom is that it's a mixed bag! The Lord is calling us to not take our eternal comfort from being in a church, but to instead seek fruitfulness by His Spirit and by faith. Join us to learn more.

Why Did Jesus Tell Stories?

We all love a good story, don't we? It seems that Jesus did as well.

In Matthew 13, Jesus tells seven short stories or parables and after the first, the disciples ask Him, "Why do you speak in parables?" Jesus' reply indicates that stories are far older, stretching back across the centuries to the great prophet Isaiah. This Sunday we hear the surprising explanation of the purpose of the parables and their effect on the hearers. Do you have ears to hear?

The Parable of the Soils

This Sunday, we started a new series called The King's Parables.

The Word of God has life-imparting power. Like a seed that contains within it all of the potential for generations of fruit, every time you hear the Word of God, it brings with it the power to change your life. However, just as a seed must go down into the earth, the Word must go down into our hearts in order to grow up into maturity. We must hear it for what it truly is. Join us as we learn what we can do to release the power-packed Word of God into our lives so that we might bear fruit to the glory of God.  

Pursuing the Heart of God

This Sunday, we looked at the Old Testament characters of Saul and David to learn what caused Saul's downfall as king and what drew the Lord to David as his replacement. Come and learn how to be a man or woman who is after God's heart. 

Guest Speaker: Ben Whittinghill

Join us for a special guest preacher. Ben Whittinghill from Rivertown Church in Brattleboro will be joining us.

Something Greater than Jonah is Here

When asked for a sign, Jesus responded that "no sign will be given to you except the sign of the prophet Jonah." Surprisingly, the sign of Jonah is a complex sign that reaches across the ages and shows God's supreme control of governments to bring about His purposes. Join us as we continue our series in Matthew.

Opposition to the Liberating Kingdom

God's Kingdom has come, in the power of the Spirit, to despoil demons! To free prisoners from Satanic slavery! And yet, there are those who will oppose the liberating work of the Spirit and the power of Christ's Kingdom to such an extent, that they will forfeit all forgiveness and lose all room for repentance. Join us to hear about the great work of the Spirit and about the one sin that is unpardonable.

Jesus, Lord of the Sabbath

Tensions mount between Jesus and the religious leaders of the day. The Pharisees come to the decision to destroy Jesus. But what brings them to this point of insanity? What was it that made these men so blind and what can we learn from their horrible error? Join us as we continue our study in Matthew.

Rest for Weary Souls

What does Jesus have to say to those of us who feel weary? What can we do if we feel weighed down by the trials of this life or weighed down by guilt? Jesus offers us rest for our souls, but there is something we must do. Join us as we learn how to find rest for our weary souls.
