Surprised by Judgment

April 2, 2017 • Dan Hofmeister

Jesus was a master of compelling illustrations. Jesus paints the dramatic picture of God's final judgment of the nations with the illustration of a shepherd separating the "sheep" from the "goats." In doing so, we see the heart of God for mankind and the criteria by which he measures each of our lives.

The Great Banquet

The parable of the Great Banquet was a story Jesus told in order to communicate a central truth to the reality of His Kingdom; that the invitation to His Kingdom is not just for those one would expect, the religious and influential, but for everyone across the earth. What's more, He has called His servants, those who have accepted the invitation, to go out and invite others and announce the good news that all are welcome.

The Story of Responses

February 12, 2017 • Brandon Grant

Everyone loves a good story. Stories are the language of the human soul. Perhaps this is why Jesus told so many stories with profound meaning! In this message, Pastor Brandon teaches on the story of the sower who scattered seed on various surfaces. The surfaces reflect the various responses of our souls to the message of Christ. What type of surface are you?
