Wayside Bible Chapel Paul Wallace

How good is good enough for God? A devout Jew asked Jesus what he needed to do to inherit the Kingdom of God. The way Jesus answered and his invitation is something we all need to hear!

We live in uncertain times. What should that mean to the follower of Jesus? How should we look at the current situation and respond? This is a message that believers need to hear today.

It's difficult to hear Jesus' words in the way that the first listeners heard them without understanding the culture and some the original language nuances. In this message, Pastor Paul tries to give us the ears of a first century Jew so that we can see how radical Jesus' teaching was to the culture of His day. That helps us relate His message to our lives.

The 2020 Israel trip was an incredible success. Listen in to testimonies from those who were blessed, and see how God grew and strengthened his flock through this incredible journey!

Jesus told a parable with the message of always praying and not losing hope. Many misunderstand the message because they don't understand the rabbinical teaching method that Jesus was employing. The contrasts Jesus makes should give us all hope that our prayers are heard by our loving heavenly Father.

God instructs Hosea to seek out his wife (who has returned to prostitution), pay her slave price, and take her back. “Where, I say, do we find anything like this save in the parables of Jesus? For the love of Hosea was as the love of that greater Galilean.1”
I can’t imagine how difficult that would have been—to be betrayed and abandoned (for a life of prostitution no less) and then to go and find her and bring her home. But that is what God told him to do, and today we’re going to dig deep into the why and explore what it tells us about God and his desires for us.
