Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 3 Of 5 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 31, 2025

We continue the Sower, considering the seed that fell into rocky ground, the shallow soil, with a warning. Temptation plus affliction and persecution will in time burn and kill off any mere profession. These hearers are only temporary. Then we begin the seed choked in the thorny soil.

There was nothing wrong with the seed, but the reception was nil because men closed their hearts to ...read more

Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 4 Of 5 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025

We are studying the third soil in the Parable of the Sower and now consider the reasons why the good seed gets choked by thorns. How many of us know someone who walked as a strong Christian but just departed the faith? It is a complex matter and we try to see why that happens.

PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 4 of 5 In the last message we did the seed that fell on the rocky soil, and we also did some of the seed that was choked by thorns. We will finish that choked seed this time. Let us revise the relevant verses from last ...read more

He’s Still God!

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 6, 2025

Good Eyesight Spiritually

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 10, 2025

In this passage of scripture, the Lord used the image of eyes to convey an important spiritual principle that we need to consider. We all would agree that eyesight is something that is very important to all of us in this PHYSICAL WORLD, but it is EQUALLY IMPORTAN IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD.

Illus: Because our eyesight is so crucial to us, He created the eye so it can be protected. For example: • God placed our eyes lower than our forehead so our eyes can be protected by our forehead. • God gave us eyebrows for the purpose to help keep moisture, such as sweat and rain, out of ...read more
