Sermons on Producing Fruit:

The Sower Series

Contributed by Jason Cole on Feb 26, 2004

Which type of soil is your faith planted in? For many I am afraid that they are not planted in the good soil.

“Parable of the Sower” Introduction It seems odd to me that all Christians respond differently to God’s Word.

Expecting A Miracle
