Marriage Supper Parables

Posted on by

In order to shed light on the message of the Kingdom of God Jesus used many parables. Among the parables used was that of a marriage supper — or wedding feast. In the book of Revelation we’re told “Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!” (Revelation 19:9).

What is this marriage supper of the Lamb? When is it and where is it? Is Jesus going to “rapture” the saints up to heaven to literally “get married” to him, as has been taught for a long while among some? Will there be a literal western style wedding ceremony in heaven, as some have speculated, followed by a literal sit-down “marriage supper”?

If not, how are we to understand these parables and related Scriptures? What does the Bible reveal about their actual meaning? Find the answers to the real meaning of the “marriage supper” parables and related Scriptures.

Binding and Loosing Part 1

Posted on by

Various churches and ministries have misapplied and misused what the Bible says about “Binding and Loosing” and the “keys of the kingdom of heaven,” associated with the former as in Jesus’ statement to Peter in Matthew 16:19. The result has been that many Christians have been confused about what the Bible really teaches about the aforementioned “keys” and the concept of binding and loosing, and much mischief within professing Christianity has resulted.

In this message, learn what the Bible tells us about what it means to have the “keys to the kingdom of heaven.”

Feeding the Sheep

Posted on by

What did Christ mean when he told Peter to feed his sheep? (John 21:15-18). Did this assignment apply only to Peter, or are there others charged with the responsibility of feeding God’s sheep? How does this apply in the Church? How are the “sheep,” as they are described in this analogy, to respond to what they are being fed? How might it apply in a broader sense to others not in the Church of God? Do you share in the responsibility to feed God’s sheep? And if so, how?
