Planting A Seed

Contributed by Randy Crawford on Dec 3, 2024

When we obey GOD and plant a seed, we never know the generational impact it may have.

I can remember vividly the moment that I surrendered my life to JESUS CHRIST. I also remember a few important dates leading up to that moment that changed my life forever. Literally. On September 2, 2021 I was in the ER not feeling well and found out that I had COVID. I spent the next 9 days ...read more

Lessons For Modern-Day Sowers Of The Word

Contributed by Ray Pritchard on Jul 3, 2007

Most messages on this parable discuss it from the standpoint of the four soils. I want to look at it in terms of what it teaches us about doing ministry today. I find at least eight principles that both challenge and encourage us.

Lessons for Modern-Day Sowers of the Word Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23 The last few days I have been meditating on the famous parable of the seed and the sower. It is obviously important because is found in three different places in the gospels (with Jesus’ explanation in parenthesis): Matthew 13:3-9 ...read more

A Short Harvest Festival Sermon

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 28, 2006

God has given us so much! This sermon challenges us to take action in our world as a sign of God’s kingdom breaking in, and as a response of thankfulness to God.

When I look at the wonderful variety of fruit and vegetables that we can grow, I find myself saying, “Thank you God!” A few years ago in Portugal I remember looking out to sea and being amazed at the sight of the sun setting over the ocean and saying, “Thank you God”; and I remember the first time ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025

In the conclusion to the Parable of the Sower we consider two things. One is the connection between this parable and the Church at Ephesus (Revelation 2), and the other is seeing how this Parable connects with the Apostolic period of Church History.

Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 6 Of 7 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025

Parts 5 and 6 go together but had to be split. Here we look at the results of harvest 100-60-30, contention in churches, and gospel preaching. The parable of the sower is a remarkable one and we are seeing this as we go. We look at how the parable of the talents are related.

PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 6 of 7 This next message continues from the previous one. We begin by looking at why some seed produced 100, some 60, some 30. [[EXAMINING THE HARVEST RATES FROM THE SOWING]] One very primary application of this parable ...read more

Parables Of The Kingdom – The Third - The Mustard Seed - Part 2 Of 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025

Now we look into how paganism was sanctioned in the church. It happened under Emperor Constantine who married church and State. Pergamum means married twice. This Part considers much that Constantine did in making the mustard tree a monstrosity.

God Uses Small Things

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

Have you ever seen a mustard seed? Look. See how tiny these seeds are? These are from the area where Jesus lived. They are the smallest seeds I have ever seen. A mustard seed is so small that if you were holding one in your hand and dropped it on the ground, you might not be able to find it.

Faith is a great force, a power to be reckoned with.

MUSTARD SEED FAITH. Luke 17:5-10. “Lord, increase our faith” (Luke 17:5). In Luke’s Gospel, this request arises out of one of the hard sayings of Jesus. For flesh and blood to ‘keep on forgiving seven times a day’ (Luke 17:4) seemed quite impossible to the disciples! Jesus’ answer is not to ...read more
