     | 10,143 views

    If we really want to experience the power, majesty and glory of God in our lives, we must be ready to pass over to the other side where most of Jesus’ followers won’t go.

    Passing Over to the Other Side By Pastor Jim May Mark 4:1-41 Life is a wonderful journey for those who know Jesus as their Savior and Lord. With each passing day, there are new joys to experience, new blessing to enjoy and a new opportunity to love Jesus even more. Even in the midst of tests ...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.

    A Kingdom Picture

     | 3,920 views

    I used to think the phrase, Kingdom of God, meant only some future time, but I have come to understand that it means the Christian experience under the Lordship of Christ.

    I wonder what you think of when you read or hear the phrase, “Kingdom Of God?” Perhaps you think of some future time, when there will be perfect peace and no problems, when the ferocious beasts of the forest can be led around by little children. That’s what I used to think it meant, but I have ...read more

    Church Growth Principles #2 "It's A Seed Problem" Series

    Contributed by Ryan Peters on Mar 18, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,474 views

    So many churches out there today desire to change the world, the only problem is that they do not desire to change themselves first. In order to change the fruit of the ministry you must first check your roots!

    • Focusing on Church growth what would you say that it is instituted or measured? o In Numbers? o In Evangelism? o In Money? o In a beautiful facility? o In a parking lot filled with new and expensive cars? o In the church with a plethora of ministries? • Too often churches and people when focusing ...read more

    The Kingdom Like Malformed Mustard

     | 3,020 views

    Like an unexpectedly huge mustard plant, the kingdom will grow and comfort, in unexpected ways.

    Like Malformed Mustard Mark 4:30-32 The kingdom of God is like a VW Beetle. It is one of the smallest cars you will ever see. It is not very comfortable or powerful. It is not very stylish or practical. It is very cheap and not impressive in any way. There is no status with owning one. And yet, ...read more

    The Small Seed

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 16, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,208 views

    The Kingdom of God will grow because God is working. Growth comes from Him and it has nothing to do with the size of the seed.

    Both parables set out to teach us, "What the Kingdom of God is like." Note two things,(1) Growth is taking place because God is working, (2) Growth has nothing to do with the Size of the Seed Growth comes from God. Jesus uses the illustration of a farmer to emphasize this point. • The farmer ...read more

    Jesus used the process of seed growth to illustrate the Kingdom of God.

    The Growing Process Mark 4:26-29 Mark 4:26-27 (HCSB) “The kingdom of God is like this,” He said. “A man scatters seed on the ground; he sleeps and rises-night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows-he doesn’t know how…” The Miracle of Maturity * Man’s role * Scattering seed * Done ...read more

    Mustard seed and the kingdom with practical examples

    I’ll begin by saying that our second reading is a very complicated passage indeed. Indeed, it’s so complicated and obscure that I’ve decided to say nothing about this morning, and concentrate on our gospel reading, because it would be too long and involved to try and make sense of it now. So, ...read more

    When the seed takes root, there will be fruit.

    God Brings Growth Mark 4:26-29 Rev. Brian Bill 7/19/09 Probably because I’m not real handy, I often have no clue how certain things work.

    Size doesn’t matter, because we have the resources of Jesus Himself and His Word to multiply disciples of Christ.

    Stir What You Got (Mark 4:21-34) Andy Eddington, once the president of Shriner College in Texas, loved sugar in his coffee. On one occasion at a greasy spoon near Dallas, he dumped not one, not two, but three teaspoonfuls of sugar in his coffee. As the waitress watched, Andy said, “Ma’am, we’re ...read more

    Do our modern evangelistic techniques match up to God’s plan?

    - I don’t recall ever hearing a sermon on this passage, which is ironic because when you dig into it, it’s a pretty important one. Harvest Job Assignments: Our job is to sow seeds and bring in the harvest; God’s job is the growth. - Mark 4:26-29. A. We sow seed. - Going back to the four soils ...read more

     | 13,922 views

    Jesus said that we, as His disciples, are to bear fruit. God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it. The fruitful, the multiplying, and the other things are not all the same thing; in other words, it means mor

    I must admit, that while I’ve read this little section of Scripture many times, I have usually read over it pretty quickly, not taking the time to understand it’s meaning. Here’s a man sowing some seed, and the next involvement he has with it, is when he comes to harvest it. Now, we understand ...read more

    When Little Is Much

     | 13,450 views

    As we think about the trials, testing, and tasks we face, both in our church and personal lives, often we become disheartened feeling we have little to offer and what lies ahead is too great. But God will use our little in a great way if we will let Him.

    When Little Is Much “Then He said, ‘To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and ...read more
