Matthew 13:36-43 You never know what a day may bring in your life. You never know what kind of events or people that you will be dealing with. Jesus had to explain the parable of the wheat and weeds to his disciples in our scripture lesson. “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed. The field is the world and the good seed represents the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong…..
Matthew 7:24-28 Have you made any resolutions that 2019 will be different for you than 2018? In today’s scripture lesson Jesus teaches us why it is important to build on solid foundations. “Anyone who listens to my teachings and follows is wise, like the person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone…..
Luke 2:25-35 Life is filled with surprises. We all have had surprises that are good and we have had those that were bad. Surprises are the things and events that happen to us that we can never anticipate in a day of our lives.

Genesis 31:1-21 A certain family was broken because of the life style and the habits of the husband and father. He was into drugs and drinking and was unfaithful to his marriage vows.

The front windows of…..
Genesis 45:1-18 Have you experienced a time in your life when you asked yourself what is the purpose and meaning of my life? Most of us have had that kind of time in our life’s journey. We can look at our nation’s day of Thanksgiving and see what caused the people to have such a day in their lives that brought them to risk living in this new land. The trip across the ocean in the type of boats they…..
Genesis 32:22-32 In the late 1940s television began to change the way Americans spent our family time. In 1947 in some big eastern cities people watched the World Series on television for the first time. The television sets had large cabinets with only five or seven inch screens. The first big hit for television sports in the late 1940s and early 1950s was Saturday night wrestling. Both my dad and mom liked to watch television wrestling and dad took wrestling…..
Genesis 27:1-46 We have all kinds of scams and deceptions taking place in our culture. Some years ago I knew a man that was a hardworking person and lived a good life.

In his old age he wanted them to have a nice new home and move out of the old farm house that had been home for them for most of their…..
Genesis 24:34-66 Have you ever made a decision you would like to take back? Most of us have made some real bad decisions that hurt us.

Genesis 22:1-19 We face all kinds of tests in this life. Toddlers learning to walk face the test of learning by getting up many times after each fall. In watching toddlers fall and the many kinds of expressions that come to their faces tell us a lot about the testing process.
