When Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God his disciples believed it was an earthly kingdom which would push the roman occupying army out of Israel. Today we know this was wrong. So, what did Jesus mean by the kingdom of God? Could we have it wrong too? Copyright, Dave Andrus 2022  

Jesus was asked by someone to judge between two brothers as to the inheritance. Instead of judging Jesus told a parable. Through this parable he warns how covetousness can twist one up.  Copyright, Dave Andrus 2022  

It turned out that  when Jesus spoke at a meal with a Pharisee Jesus got all the Pharisees mad at him. In that day this was dangerous. Jesus used this opportunity to talk about fear and faith.  Copyright, Dave Andrus 2022

Most of us have learned from childhood that we should not lie but always tell the truth. Is this easier said than done? What about a white lie? And why shouldn’t we lie if it helps us? Copyright, Dave Andrus 2021

We all have stuff. We all need stuff. We all want stuff. But what if you have stuff I don’t have, or if I have stuff you don’t have? Can I give it or take it away? It can be messy and confusing. That’s why God spoke about stuff.    Copyright, Dave Andrus 2021
