The Sower: The Flower Approach To Life Well Lived

Contributed by Dustin Bumgarner on Aug 13, 2014

Jesus told the Parable about the Sower (or Farmer, as I've written throughout). This sermon displays a unique approach to that parable, along with a special acronym of FLOWER. We must use the FLOWER method in our everyday walk with God.

In order to bring that fresh watermelon to you, the farmer or grower would have to do some digging (pun intended) to find out the perfect ...read more

The Powerful Word Of God (Just Keep Sowing) - Mark 4:26-34 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2023

The kingdom began shockingly small, but, like a seed, had great power to produce imperceptible growth, automatic growth, and mysterious growth that will result in the glorious, eternal kingdom.

We must not become discouraged in the work of sowing. Mark 4:26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man ...read more
