    The Kingdom Come Series

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Feb 22, 2013
     | 8,247 views

    In the Garden of Eden sin decided to invade and seperate man from the Kingdom rule of God. However two thousand years ago Jesus came to re-establish that Kingdom rule through us. The Kingdom has come and the battle has begun.

    Sermon preached after a presentation by New Horizons. We are beginning a series on Kingdom living today. Often when we hear about the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven we envision a future Kingdom that will one day either take us up to it or will descend upon us. However the Bible teaches us ...read more

    The Promise Of Understanding Series

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Mar 5, 2013
     | 4,991 views

    Jesus promises that when we pay attention, understand, and obey what we have been taught He will give us the keys to unlock the secrets of the Kingdom.

    Two kingdoms are at war with each other, the kingdom of sin that leads to death and the Kingdom of Jesus that leads to life. Two kingdoms in an epic battle for each of us. Last week I declared that the battle has begun against the illegal actions that sin has taken toward the will of God. Last week ...read more

    How Much Fruitfulness Does God Want To Have Through Your Life? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 9, 2014
     | 5,007 views

    A look at how God wants to bring thirty-fold, sixty-fold, or a hundred-fold harvest into our lives. It looks into what exactly that means for our lives.

    HOW MUCH IMPACT DOES GOD WANT TO HAVE THROUGH YOUR LIFE? Does your life’s impact resemble an overflowing orchard basket or a Charlie Brown Christmas tree? - Matthew 13:8, 23; Mark 4:8, 20; Luke 8:8, 15; John 15:5, 8. - Let’s talk about these two images for a moment. - Image #1: the ...read more

    The Sower: The Flower Approach To Life Well Lived

    Contributed by Dustin Bumgarner on Aug 13, 2014
     | 9,439 views

    Jesus told the Parable about the Sower (or Farmer, as I've written throughout). This sermon displays a unique approach to that parable, along with a special acronym of FLOWER. We must use the FLOWER method in our everyday walk with God.

    Intro: How many people here have gone to the local Farmer’s Market to get you some fresh produce? Imagine taking a bite out of a sweet, juicy watermelon. In order to bring that fresh watermelon to you, the farmer or grower would have to do some digging (pun intended) to find out the perfect ...read more

     | 10,742 views

    First in a series of messages that examine Jesus' parables from the perspective of a minor or unsympathetic character.

    Several years ago I came across a book by J. Ellsworth Kalas titled Parables from the Back Side. The author’s introduction to the book begins with these words: Familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt, as the saying puts it, but it often breeds something potentially worse, the glazed ...read more

    The Sower, The Seed, And The Soil

    No matter how good the preaching, the Word of God only takes root in hearts prepared by the Holy Spirit.

    THE SOWER, THE SEED, AND THE SOIL. Matthew 13:1-9; Matthew 13:18-23. There were great crowds pressing to see Jesus, straining to hear His words, or perhaps hoping for a healing touch. The Lord entered into a boat and sat and taught, whilst the crowds stood on the seashore. The boat served as a ...read more

    The third in a series on the parables given by Jesus in the Book of Matthew

    The Three Soils: (Parables of Matthew Part Three) Text: Matthew 13:1 – 23 About three weeks ago we started looking at the parables that we find here in the Gospel of Matthew. We took a break from it last week for Mother’s Day, but now were back to it. And if you noticed, when we ...read more

    The fourth in a series dealing with the parables found in Matthew. This sermon was preached on Memorial Day and so it somewhat ties in with that holiday.

    Soldiers for Christ: (Parables of Matthew Part Four) Text: Matthew 13:18 – 23 Well it’s Memorial Day weekend; and as you all know, Memorial Day was a holiday created originally for the purpose of honoring the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. There’s ...read more

    The Parable Of The Sower

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 3, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,959 views

    A somewhat different take of the Parable of the Sower, or should I say The Parable of the seed.

    The Parable of the Sower Matthew 13:1-23 It is always a good idea to read Scripture in its own context because it helps us to rightly interpret the current passage. This parable begins with the words “In the same day”. The first thing we need to zero in is why Matthew mentions that it was the same ...read more

    We need to pay attention to the condition of our soil, but we also need to spend time daily preparing and sowing.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2014 Seed, Soil, Sower, Rain Today’s OT reading went by so fast that you might forget its importance. That’s not the lector’s fault: the Church gives us only two verses. Let’s listen to the Word of God in the longer version beginning four verses ...read more

    Fruits Of God's Word

    “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
