In today's message we see that scripture is often an example of what not to do. The message is spoiled because a spoiled young man becomes an evil abusive adult. A kings daughter innocence is spoiled by the sexual assault of her brother. The bright future of kingdom is spoiled by all this and taking the life of two of the King's son. We learn that the grace of God is the only thing that can take away the disgrace caused by our sinful lust.

Warning - This is a real story of the redemption of the family of Judah. It is messy and sexually explicit. But It shows the power of the gospel to redeem any life.

What do you hope to do with the time you have remaining on earth? Doesn't it make sense to do here, with whatever time you have left, what you won't be able to do in heaven? As Jesus winds up His charge to His followers, He gives us three sobering conclusions for our series of weekend messages Kingdom Come, Kingdom Go.

When Jesus sends us out to bear witness to Him in the world, His aim is for us to endure in the face of opposition. In this message, we will see how Jesus describes the costs of our witness for Him, the blessings that come from our witness for Him, and the strategies for our witness for Him.

Jesus came 2,000 years ago to extend His kingdom to earth. And just before He left, He effectively said, "Keep it going. Go and make disciples of all nations." In this message, Pastor John looks at what kinds of people Jesus is willing to use and describes Jesus' simple A-B-C plan for mission.

How do you react when you score a great deal on some purchase? The kingdom of God is like finding a great deal, but it's also not really like that. Because while salvation is free, it's not cheap.

Jesus has a mission in the world and He wants our work to be His work. At the same time, Satan has an anti-mission in the world. What are we supposed to do? In this message, Pastor John looks at the parable of the weeds and what our mission is supposed to be.

Jesus told many parables to communicate truth about God's kingdom so that we could live out God's purpose for our lives. But are we listening? In this message, Pastor John looks at the parable of the sower and how followers of Christ can improve their hearing.

We all feel we have busy lives. In today's message we will learn from a man was busy gaining all the pleasures, knowledge and things of life and in all his busyness he found life very empty without the one thing that really matters.

As believers we are be peace makers in our world and not drama makers. Today in God's word we learn how to minimize the unnecessary drama in our lives by walking in God's wisdom.
