    The most solid picture of evangelism is still the agricultural picture of planting, waiting and harvest. In this sermon, you will see a fuller development of the harvest.

    I have to finally confess that I am not, nor have I ever been a farm boy. Yes, I grew up in Kansas, in a small town the size of Livingston, surrounded by hundreds of acres of wheat fields, but I never lived or worked on a farm.

    OPEN: Joe had ordered an expensive suit for a banquet, and the tailor finished alterations just in time. But as Joe left the shop, a sudden rainstorm doused the jacket & shrank one of the sleeves. "We can’t do anything about it today," the tailor told Joe when he returned to the shop.

    We must resist the pressures to secularise our faith and to accept the beliefs of other gods. We must seek the peace of God in His Word, not in the words of humans.

    God requires us to come with Clean Hands and a Clean Heart ZECHARIAH 5:1 – 11 INTRODUCTION. God requires us to come to Him with clean hands and a clean heart.

    The mysterious Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity. After Jesus rose from the dead, and spent time with his disciples and others in the city, he told them that though he was leaving, he would send the Holy Spirit to lead them and guide them in their mission.

He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for ...read more
