Harvest Is Bigger. God Does More.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 1, 2022

At our harvest festival we usually think of food, crops. But we need to expand our concept of harvest. We also need to recognize just how much God is involved in providing for us.

Today is our Harvest Thanksgiving service. It’s a time to thank God for the harvest. But what exactly are we thanking God for? I want to do two things today. The first thing is to encourage us to see harvest as something bigger than what the combine harvester picks up. The second thing is to ...read more

Somewhere In The Path Of Weeds There's Something God Wants To Harvest

Contributed by James May on Jul 22, 2012

Chapter 44 Destruction Of Shechem Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 14, 2020

The Call Of The Ploughman

Contributed by John Perry on Jul 17, 2011

We know in farming & agriculture that long before a harvest is reaped there has been some ploughing of the soil. Any farmer can tell you that the idea of reaping a crop without ploughing the soil is ludicrous! Is it any different with the soil of the hear

The Parable Of The Four Soils Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Only one of the four soils produces. Three of the four soils reject the seed. The problem isn’t with the seed but the soil. It’s the same seed that produces a great crop in the fourth soil that goes away in the first three soils.

Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. There’s something beautiful in the way those on the outside react when they first hear the gospel. One person when he recently began to comprehend the message of Jesus, recently asked me: “Do you mean to tell me that Adolf Hitler could receive ...read more

Be 100 Times More Fruitful Series

Contributed by Nate Herbst on Apr 12, 2010

The parable of the sower tells us about the good soil that produced a 30, 60 or even 100 fold crop but warns about the thorns that choke that out; this message is an encouragement about experiencing freedom from all that keeps us from bearing fruit.

Please Stop Talking Nonsense About Gog/Magog - November 2023 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 3, 2023

In these days the words Gog/Magog crop up in reference to the current war against Hamas. This Gog war will definitely happen, but there is debate about the timing. This article shows it can be only at one specific time. I have more detailed posts in the Eschatology Series.
