The Parable Of A Farmer

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Sep 2, 2022

If the word of God is not bearing fruit in your life, you're not studying the word of God; you're not hearing the word of God; you're not receiving the word of God.

Let me ask three questions before we start this message: 1. If the gospel is the power of God—why doesn't everybody that hears the gospel become a Christian? 2.

Contrasts Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 7, 2006

What are those things that bring your heart closer to God and what are those that drive you further away? We learn them from studying contrasts in people Jesus tells us about or encounters in this chapter.

Jesus gives us the contrast between them by showing us various different portraits. I think the idea is to give us a picture of what our approach ...read more
