We hope that you found these short messages and Scripture readings helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any help on how to continue to grow in your relationship with Jesus or anything else you may need. But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble ... http://comeandsee09.blog.com.mt/2009/03/19/good-soil-good-fruit/ The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.  Luke 8:14 Jesus tells us that it is important that we remain focused; he mentions three things which can 'choke' the Word of ... http://comeandsee09.blog.com.mt/2009/03/18/taking-care-of-your-spiritual-life/ We continue today with the parable of the seeds. The next type of people that are described are those who rely only feelings not on faith. When we are on a retreat and experience the love of God, it is right for us to get enthusiastic about it. However our relationship ... http://comeandsee09.blog.com.mt/2009/03/17/its-not-all-about-feelings/ On Sunday morning in 'Come and See' we mentioned that God wants the type of wedding where you are his spouse, not a guest. The Lord sent His word in our hearts once again and like a seed it needs time to grow. However we have to make sure that the condtions ... http://comeandsee09.blog.com.mt/2009/03/16/stop-the-thief/ In the Scripture passage we used last Saturday afternoon in 'Come and See', four men lower the paralytic before Jesus (Mark 2:1-12). This was indeed a risky thing to do. First of all, it's not the safest thing to cut a hole in someone's roof and expect to get away with it; ... http://comeandsee09.blog.com.mt/2009/03/14/the-real-paralysis/ Both Zacchaeus and Bartimeus had their fair share of problems. Zacc had all that money could buy except the love and acceptance he craved for. Bart was a blind beggar who begged for money and for mercy. He may have got a bit of the former not much of the latter - when he ... http://comeandsee09.blog.com.mt/2009/03/12/god-works-all-for-our-good/ Jesus told Zacchaeus that he wanted to go to his house and have dinner with him. Eating with someone is a sign of intimate friendship and this is what prayer invites us to. Look up Revelation (Apocalypse) 3:20 Bartimeus was in great need and even through he was blind he was the one ... http://comeandsee09.blog.com.mt/2009/03/11/simple-prayer/ In the weekend we spoke about Jesus' encounter with Zacchaeus. In fact it was not Zacchaeus who was really looking for Jesus but Jesus who was looking for him, as He does with us. If Zach had a computer he would have certainly been one of those who would have looked up answers for ... http://comeandsee09.blog.com.mt/2009/03/10/looking-in-the-right-mirror/ On Friday evening, we mentioned that our image of God is very important. Often 'God' is used as a title like we use the title 'President'. However our God reveals His name, a name which shows who He is: He is our Abba Father - Look up Romans chapter 8 verse 15 and Galatians ... http://comeandsee09.blog.com.mt/2009/03/09/this-is-our-god/ Hi everyone Hope you are doing well!
