    How long will we lie around at the pool waiting for the waters to be troubled? Do we not know that the supernatural power of God is available all of the time? Will we rise and walk in power or lie in sorrow and self-pity. Take up your bed and walk by G

    Jesus only raised 3 people (that I know of) from the dead. Why didn’t He raise everybody out of the grave? Why just people like this only son of the widow of Nain?

    Parable Of The Sower Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 1, 2012

    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
