    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,107 views

    Most Christians do not truly understand the phrase “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” This message will help brings some clarity.

    In Mark 4, Jesus gives the parable of the sower and when the disciples ask him what it means, He says in verse 11, “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables.” Why were the disciples the ones who were “given to ...read more

    How Much Is It Worth? Series

    Freud once noted that people (with a few exceptions) were worthless. God said that we were worth the price of His Son. How much you think people are worth will determine who you agree with.

    Several years ago this advertisement was placed in a New England are newspaper: "Unknown item for sale. We know it's valuable; we just don't know what it is. If you can identify it, we'll sell it for $250.” (Reader’s Digest 9/02 p. 145) Sometimes it’s hard to decide what something is worth. My ...read more

    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.)

    INTRODUCTION: [READ LUKE 8:4-8] 1) How many auto mechanics does it take to change a light bulb? One, but he thinks he’ll have to replace the whole socket. 2) How many procrastinators does it take to change a light bulb?

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,809 views

    Part two of the series where we look at the soils that God's Word ministers too. We quickly see that the Word of God is powerful enough to minister to any soil given that God has prepared it to be seeded by the Word of God.

    Let’s look at the different heart conditions mentioned in this parable. I. A Hard Heart. (Uninterested Heart) Verse 4: “And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.” Fields in Israel were small and were separated from one another by paths that became like ...read more

     | 14,467 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

    What's the main difference between the people who have hard hearts, shallow hearts, crowded hearts, and the one who has an open heart? The person with the open heart hears it and does it.

    To Fail, To Fall, To Finish

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Feb 24, 2019

    However, it clear from Scripture and history that many have perished, are perishing, and will perish. Only those who fight a good fight and finish their course will be saved.

    TO FAIL, TO FALL, OR TO FINISH II Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” However, it clear from Scripture and history that many have ...read more

     | 10,419 views

    The enemy of the soul has hood-winked the Body of Christ into believing a lie about who we are and what we’re capable of accomplishing for the kingdom of God.

    Hood-winked Let’s open tonight with some questions. And there is a right answer and all of you know it. ? Who comes to mind when I say heals the sick? (Response: Jesus) ? Who comes to mind when I say raises the dead? (Response: Jesus) ? Who comes to mind when I say causes blind eyes to see? ...read more

    Turn with me to Matthew 4. We’re going to read verses 17-20. (17) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
