Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

John chapter 15 speaks of bearing fruit, which we often interpret as winning lost souls to Christ. However, winning people to Christ is only one meaning of the word fruit. Fruit symbolized the best result or sweetest prize in life.

The Seed Of God's Word

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 18, 2007

The key to a fruitful and abundant life is with our response to the Word. The way we receive the Word is critical to having a fruitful and blessed life. The seed is productive only if the soil is receptive. The Word is good seed; are you the good soil?

The sower throws seed onto the ground. God is speaking to the world. • The seed falls onto the ground without ...read more
