36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” 

6. The whole counsel of God, concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man’s salvation, faith, and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men. Nevertheless we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spiri...

27 And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” 28 When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus stern...

18  While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19  And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 20  And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, 21&...

1. Although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence, do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men inexcusable; yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of His will, which is necessary unto salvation; therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in divers manners, to reveal Himself, and to declare that His will unto Hi...

9  As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. 10  And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. 11  And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat...

And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city. 2  And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.” 3  And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” 4  But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think...

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; Prov 2:6 16  All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,  17  that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Tim 3:16

28  And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. 29  And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” 30  Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. 31  And the...

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Prov 16:18

23  And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24  And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. 25  And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” 26  And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, an...

6  Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. 7  Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, 8  she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. 9  How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10  A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, 11  and poverty will come upon yo...

14  And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. 15  He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. 16  That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. 17  This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaia...

Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. -Matthew 12:30

8  When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. 2  And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3  And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4  And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yours...

For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5  Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? -1 John 5:4-5 10  Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes...

I Never Knew You 21  “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22  On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23  And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from...

18  And the Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day. 2  He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth 3  and said, “O Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant. 4&nbsp...

15  “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16  You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17  So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18  A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19&nbs...

Unfortunately the last few minutes have been cutoff from the audio recording. The final encouragement was - don't buy into the cultural concepts of fairness and diversity, instead work hard with the gifting that God has given you and ONLY you! Grow them for use in building his kingdom. Appreciate and celebrate the diversity that unique and individual creation that each and every person is, an imag...

13  “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14  For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:13-14

8  “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9  Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10  but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11  For in six days the Lord made heaven and eart...

3  For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— 2  assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3  how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. 4  When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5  which was not made known to the s...
