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.

As the farmer can’t cause growth to happen, neither can man cause spiritual growth to happen. Our role is indispensable, however. Seed doesn’t grow unless it’s sown. 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

The Purpose Of The Parables Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Sep 11, 2020

From this literal meaning we get the idea that a parable is a ...read more

How To Listen To God: The Good Soil - Mark 4:20-25 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 16, 2023

Why is Scripture hard and why so many different conclusions about Jesus? Because he hid the truth in hard sayings. Why make it so hard? This passage explains.

Mark 4:14 The sower sows the word. 15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. Immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, ...read more

The Liberal (Generous!) God And Our Response Series

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Aug 23, 2010

God is liberal - and by that I mean generous, ample, extravagent in giving. Jesus told this parable ABOUT the crowd not TO the crowd. What is our response to the message of Jesus from the liberal God? What kind of soil are we?

God does not say, “Anything goes.” God is not that kind of liberal; but when the dictionary says ’abundant, ample, giving freely;[ and] ...read more

To God be the glory for the love of Jesus Christ towards mankind. This love is shown throughout the thirteenth chapter of St. Matthew which Jesus devoted entirely to using our everyday experiences, vocations and imagery to teach us what we need to know about the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus is a great teacher who always seeks to have His children understand His teachings, though some of the teachings are presented in parable forms, yet He asks those who are close to Him whether they understand what He is communicating ("Have you understood all these things?" - Matt. ...read more
