    “But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown” Matthew 13:23.

    Theme: Fruits of God’s Word Text: Gen. 25:19-34; Rom. 8:1-11; Matt. 13:1-9, 18-23 A parable serves to reveal spiritual truths by using earthly illustrations. In the parable about the sower Jesus Himself explains the parable. Just as seeds are planted to yield a harvest so the word of God is ...read more

    Do we live our lives open to God? We need to allow the seed of God's word to penetrate into fertile soil of our heart.

    4th Pentecost 11 The soil of your heart. Matthew 13:1-13:23 In the 19th Century and into the first part of the 20th (before radar was invented) ships avoided each other by looking out for beacons or lights on other ships.

    We have adapted the Christian life to the culture. We want it hot, easy, quick and effortless.

    The American people expect everything fast, easy and cheap. And we often treat the Christian life like that. We want it to be like a McDonald’s drive through — drive up to the window, get what you want and drive off. Have you noticed all the ads that tell us about the products ...read more

    Introduction: I love to garden…but I am not a good gardener. I have been around gardening all my life. I have been working in gardens since I was a little boy.

    Text: Matthew 13:1-23 - The Parable of the Sower Introduction 1 The Parable Let me begin by retelling the parable in a different context.

    Salvation - A Relationship

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Apr 24, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,551 views

    To place our faith in the performance of a salvation ritual is to place our faith in the person leading us to the ritual; but, if we place our faith in a relationship with Jesus Christ we have placed our faith in the author and sustainer of salvation.

    SALVATION – A RELATIONSHIP INTRODUCTION If a person is uncomfortable with the idea that there is no special event or ritual that marks the time and place of their salvation, then they certainly have a great deal of company. In fact, almost all existing denominations and Christian religious ...read more

    Parable Of The Sower Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 1, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,477 views

    In the parable of the sower, we see what could be called a Kingdom-of-Heaven condition; that is, it exhibits God’s present ruler-ship over the entire earth as He calls out a people to His name.

    Parable of the Sower The Gospel of Matthew is probably the key Gospel to the Bible, and chapter 13 is the key to this Gospel; therefore this chapter is very important. It provides us with a better understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven than any other passage. Here, Jesus for the first time ...read more

    Part 11 focuses on the training that Paul went through as a Pharisee that enabled him to be such an outstanding witness for Christ.

    A Slave For Christ Part 11 Scriptures: Acts 5:33-39; Matthew 13:3-23; John 14:26 Introduction: Last week I shared with you that Paul became a threat to Judaism because he was able to “prove” that Jesus was in fact the Messiah.

    A short talk for our Church harvest festival attended my many people including a family celebrating a baptism.

    What have I got here? Yes, that’s right, a packet of sweet pea seeds – a Father’s Day gift from Rebekah. Don’t they look fantastic!

    Parable Of The Sower

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Jul 25, 2012
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,936 views

    We may all be dirt, brought out of the dust of the ground, but we have a choice of what kind of dirt we are going to be -- Path dirt? Rocky dirt? Thorny dirt? or Good dirt? We are defined by the way we respond to the Word of God!

    A few observations from the passage: 1. All the different kinds of soil received the Word of God. This is a message about people who have received the Word. 2. A complete lack of fruitfulness from all, except one. Among the people in the church, there is no fruit, except in a small group of ...read more

    The parable of the sower is a picture of the seed of the Word of God. There is amazing potential in that seed, but we must provide the right kind of soil for it to grow.

    INTRODUCTION This is the 40th message in the series I call “Parables and Miracles.” The word “parable” means, “to throw alongside.” A parable may be an analogy or metaphor where Jesus lays down a natural truth and then throws a spiritual truth alongside it. But ...read more
