    A Stewardship Of Truth

    Contributed by Rick Johnson on Nov 22, 2000
    based on 104 ratings
     | 7,054 views

    We are to receive God's truth in view of obeying it and sharing it with others.

    Jesus used parables to make truth simple and understandable. The previous parable to this passage concerned an agricultural metaphor that taught a lesson centered around the sower, seed, and soil. The primary lesson in that parable was that there are different responses to God's truth. All ...read more

    Many people have bullet-proof armor around their hearts - so that God’s truth simply bounces off. Learn about how to have a soft heart and fertile soil to grow God’s truth

    Have you ever heard the expression: “they only hear what they want to hear”? Its true – and its also very dangerous. Today Jesus is going to say things that just bounce off the hearers – the crowds, and His disciples. It involves accepting the truth – and in trusting the Lord at His word. I want ...read more

    In our passage today we look at three parables of Jesus, and each parable contains a paradox about God’s Kingdom.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Jack Wyrtzen used lots of stories in his preaching. One day someone was talking with one of the Word of Life staff members and said, “I heard Jack preach one of his “skyscraper messages” the other night.” The staff member asked what he meant by a “skyscraper message” ...read more

    In Mark 1:15, Jesus says the kingdom of God is near, meaning that in the person of Jesus God’s kingdom comes near. If the kingdom has come near, what in the world is God doing?

    WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOD DOING? Mark 4:21-34 INTRO: In Mark 1:15, Jesus says the kingdom of God is near, meaning that in the person of Jesus God’s kingdom comes near. God has arrived on the scene, to establish his rule, take back what is his. If that is so, then I have some questions: 1. Why are ...read more

    A Message using the Parable of the Mustard Seed

    From Small Beginnings… June 18, 2006 Mark 4:26-34 Sometimes things are not as they appear to be. This parable has long been used to describe the amount of faith one would need to be used by God. I want to submit to you today that this story is much more than that. Getting back to the first ...read more

    On the occasion of a weekend conference for training men in worship, this sermon challenges the men to expect God’s blessing on their small beginning.

    Psalm 92, Ezekiel 31:1-6,10-14, 2 Corinthians 5:1-10, Mark 4:26-34 From a mustard seed One things that grabs the attention of St. Athanasius parishioners today is the presence of all these men in our fellowship for the Lord’s worship on the Sunday morning.

    Jesus makes it plain that our hearts determine how we respond to God’s word. What kind of heart do you have?

    Read or recite Mark 4 Mark records three parables of Jesus in this chapter that all have to do with gardening. The Four Soils, the Seed and Earth Producing of Itself, and the Mustard Seed. How many gardeners are present here today? Sun, rain, seed and soil are all important components of a ...read more

    We can’t be satisfied with being saved and not see any fruit from God’s work in our lives.

    February 13, 2004 Morning Worship Text: Mark 4:21-29 Subject: Part 2 in the Harvest series. Title: Growth Unto Harvest I believe that we are quickly coming to the end of the age.

    Pentecost 4: Jesus’ comforting words about the Kingdom span the ages to bring comfort and assurance to the believer.

    The lens through which we can see things doesn’t provide the full panorama of the Kingdom. “For we know in part and we prophesy in part… Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror… Now I know in part…” (1 Corinthians 13.9a, 12a, 12c) Sometimes what we think that we see is really not; that ...read more

    Because God loved you first, You are special

    I am quite intrigued as to why, when Jesus spoke in parables so everyone could understand them, he then felt the need to explain them to his disciples later. I wonder if it was to give his disciples a chance to challenge and question what he had said earlier. A chance to see the reasoning and the ...read more

     | 9,599 views

    The joy of our faith is about much more than going to church. We don’t just have a building, we have a kingdom awaiting us. We don’t just have a leader, we have the King in Jesus.

    That Magnificent Kingdom Mark 4:21-34 This past week I was getting my oil changed and I had a chance to present the gospel to the guy in the waiting room with me. For me, waiting rooms are the best places for evangelism because the people are sitting there with nothing to do. The oil change ...read more
