Walk by Faith – Pt 2 (Mt 14:13-36)
Yesterday in Part 1, we introduced the topic of a life of miracles by examining the common elements often seen in Jesus’ ministry. Today we’ll look at the two big miracles in this chapter. In the story of the feeding of 5000, let’s look at it from different people’s perspectives. (also see John 6:1-15) There […]
Congrats – You’re the CEO
If you’re to be a better steward for God, its helpful to think of yourself as the CEO of a company. If you were the Chief Executive Officer of an organization, you would have myriad goals, duties and responsibilities. And though you would report to the shareholders who own the company, you would manage it […]
Walk by Faith – Pt 1 (Mt 14:13-36)
When we put trust in Jesus, what happens? He will do miracles! Yesterday, we looked at the two greatest prophets being cast out by God’s people. Today and tomorrow we’ll look at Jesus’ two major miracles of Ch.14, and hopefully come to better understand how we can see more of the miraculous in our lives. […]
His Most Trusted Servant
If we are called to be stewards of all that God gives us, what does that mean? As you’re faithful with what you have, God will increase what He trusts you with. A steward in biblical times was the most highly favored and most trusted servant. He managed all the household affairs of his master […]
Two Prophets Rejected (Mt 13:53-14:12)
After teaching the parables of the Kingdom, Jesus went to His hometown to teach. Ahh home, the place where you’re loved and respected, right? That’s not what Jesus found. It is not an uncommon thing for a prophet or messenger of God to be rejected by God’s own people, usually represented by the religious and/or […]

Parables of the Kingdom: Seed, Yeast, Treasure, Pearl, & Net (Mt 13:31-33 & 44-58)
God reveals the Kingdom of Heaven directly to us through the simple. Jesus taught in parables which we began discussing with the sower. Today, Jesus will show us how His Kingdom spreads, what we need to do to enter it, and how God’s judgment at the end of time will look. 2. Matt. 13:31-33 The Parable […]
Kingdom Calling vs Financial Advisors: What Went Wrong?
The free fall of the markets in recent months, and subsequent wonder readily apparent in the comments of so many a financial advisor, should be a hard lesson to anybody looking soon to formulate a new financial plan. Almost nobody, including the best and brightest of two administrations, came even close to forecasting the length […]
Parable of the Weeds (Matt. 13:24-30, 36-43)
Jesus used many parables to teach truths of the Kingdom. This was a tradition of instruction used many times in the Old Testament. “Listen, O my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,” (Psalm […]
