    The parable of the four soils applied beyond spiritual rebirth to spiritual growth & life change. (This message is from Luke 8, but could be adapted to the version of the parable in Matthew 13 or Mark 4.)

    Sowing And Harvest Series

     | 14,507 views

    The heart must be prepared by the Spirit to receive the Word and yield a spiritual harvest. Jesus discussed the four types of soil and their impact on the Kingdom. One tiny seed sown in the right place has unbelievable potential.

    Sowing and Harvest Mark 4: 1-20 Today we come to the first parable of Jesus, recorded in Mark’s gospel. This approach to teaching marks a definite shift in Jesus’ teaching style. We have discussed many accounts of the intense opposition Jesus faced while expounding truth. Along with the Pharisees ...read more

    The parables of Jesus are given in three of the Gospels; John is the only Gospel that doesn’t record any of His parables. Jesus used things that people were familiar with as the subject for the parables.

     | 618 views

    The view outside the church can be damaging. Therefore the church must work to rid itself of its media problems.

    Folded By Jesus

     | 1,064 views

    What it means to be folded is, to beat someone up, or the newer past tense version of that, to receive a beat-down. Now Jesus does not physically beat any one up, but He sure delivers a spiritual pounding.

    Folded by Jesus Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the ...read more

    "He that ears to hear, let him hear.” Why did Jesus say this about the purpose of parables and what does it mean for us today?

    I am going to open the message with the first part of John 16:13 from the Amplified Bible. “But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).” During the Last Supper, which is recorded in John chapters 13 through 17, ...read more

    Many ministers use poems, illustrations and humor to get across what they are wanting to teach. But a favorite tool of the Lord was parable

    He used them frequently! The Bible says He taught them many parables. WHY DID THE LORD TEACH IN PARABLES? Notice, the Scripture explains the Scripture. Look at Mark 4:1-2, we read, “And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he ...read more

    In Mark 4, Jesus taught the parable of the sower, and then explained it. The parable challenges us to sow the word of God and to cultivate our hearts so that we can be the good soil that produces a great harvest.

    Jesus used parables to instruct the people. Parables are brief tales utilizing recognizable scenes to clarify spiritual truth. This technique for educating urges the audience to think. It disguises the truth from the individuals who are excessively obstinate or biased to hear what is being ...read more
