WORLDLY CARES ARE THORNS

Luke 8:14, "And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection."

LUKE 8:5-14

This third type of ground is characteristic of a large part of the Body of Christ today. These are people who have received God's Word, committed themselves to it to the...

                                    Parables of Jesus bible study

This bible study covers the main parables of Jesus. Parables were such a big tool for Jesus to show a lot of us how to live. I believe they were perhaps Jesus’ biggest teaching tool. Jesus in Matthew 13 explains the reasons why He made such use of parables in His teachings in the following verses:

(Matthew 13:10)  Then the disciples came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"

(Matthew 13:11)  And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

(Matthew 13:12)  For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

(Matthew 13:13)  This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your love and patience with all of us as Your children. Father, we ask You to deliver us from pride and foolishness and give us Your wisdom. Give us the strength to do all that is before us each day. May we do our work as unto You and not unto men. May our labors count for something. Let us lead good and pure lives before those whom we live and work with. Lord, deliver us from the temptation to lie. May truthfulness always be found upon our tongues. Help me to be a good witness to all that I come in contact with. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

NO DISTRACTIONS, PLEASE

Mark 4:16, "And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;"

MARK 4:13-20

The second type of person Jesus describes is one who does receive the Word, even with great joy, but his commitment to the Word is shallow. Just as a plant must establish a strong root system to sustain its growth, so...

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your love and grace that empowers me to overcome the fear and pride that comes against me. Lord, I do humble myself before You, asking You to be merciful to me and all of my family. We need Your love so that we can overcome evil with good. Lord, help us each, in our families and our offices, to become more like You. Give us patience and forbearance with one another. Let us be gentle and kind to all, and especially may we be so in our own homes. Help us guard our mouths so that we speak gracious things about one another. Help us to build one another up and never to tear down others with our mouths. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord in whose steps we desire to follow. Amen.

                        Purposes of Jesus bible study

Of course as the prophet Isaiah states so well prophesying his major purpose in chapter 53 of his book which is a prophecy of the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior:

(Isa 53:1)  Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

(Isa 53:2)  For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.

(Isa 53:3)  He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

(Isa 53:4)  Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

(Isa 53:5)  But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon...

UNDERSTANDING GOD'S WORD

Luke 8:12, "Those by the wayside are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved."

LUKE 8:4-13

The first type of person Jesus describes is someone who doesn't understand God's Word (Mt. 13:19). Before God's Word can penetrate your heart, you have to understand (not comprehend) what it's saying. If...

                                    Pride- a bible study

            I am led to do now a bible study on pride- first I will use five examples of pride from the bible. There also is much pride active today, and I have seen it where people act superior to all others in how they behave. It could include cutting into traffic, not letting others merge, cutting in line, going in an express lane with far too many items, an others. As I believe these are the last days this situation is getting worse and will not get better.

The first example in the bible is one of a communal group pride- where the people who at that time all spoke with the same language and all lived in the same area conspired to build a city and a tower up to haven to make a name for themselves, that is to make themselves famous. Even though they did it all in the wrong motivations their story is in the bible read from generation to generation as a warning against their pride.

(Genesis 11:1)  Now...

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your promise of daily provision. You have always been so faithful to supply all of our needs. Lord, help me to be sensitive to the needs of others, and share with them the things that You have blessed me with. Lord, help me not to forget the poor and the hungry, just because I have plenty of food. I pray for the people in the countries of the world who are suffering in famine and war. Lord, send the food and help needed to keep them alive, so that they might find eternal life through Christ if they do not know You. Move on the hearts of Your people to send assistance or go and help. Help Your people to reach out to the world with help and the Word of the Lord so they will come to know You and Your love. I ask in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
