1.      This message is about the constituents of faith

That means, this is not an explanation of any definition of faith

We are not trying to define, redefine, and simplify faith

This message is simply an attempt to find out the key ingredients of faith.

Parable of Laborers

Matthew 20:1–16  (NIV)

1    “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

2    He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

3    “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.

4    He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’

5    So they went. “He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing.

Wisdom from A Trader

Introduction

The other day I was preparing a Bible study on the Parable of Ten Minas that we read in Luke 19: 11-27

A word in that passage drew my attention during the study.

That was not a deep theological topic, but that got my attention.

I was thinking and praying about it for further guidance from God.

Luke 19:13  And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come.   (American Standard Version)

I am talking about the word “Trade”

This message is for everyone, for all people living a secular life or a religious life.

I am sure that all those are in secular job or business and all those who are in our Lord’s Ministry for the Kingdom will be blessed by this message.

Laws of Representation

 INTRODUCTION

Hebrews 7:22   ...  Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.

The role of the representative is critical to understand our covenant with God

In human affairs a representative acts on our behalf, and so makes us present where we cannot personally be.

WHAT IS A COVENANT?

A covenant (Hebrew berith, Greek diatheke) is a legal agreement between two or more parties. 

A covenant is a contract or agreement between two or more parties.  

Covenant is how God has chosen to communicate to us, to redeem us, and to guarantee us eternal life in Jesus.  

Why they crucified Jesus?

A joint execution

 The crucifixion of Jesus was a joint attempt by the Jewish leaders and the Roman Empire.

But they did not plan it together before hand.

It is the worst case of judicial murder without any criminal charges.

Crucifixion was not in the Jewish law.

The worst method of murder in the Jewish law was stoning to death.

Crucifixion was a Roman punishment.

When Jesus was crucified, Jews murdered Jesus and Romans crucified Him.
