It All Starts With A Little Seed

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 14, 2018

It is the message and not the messanger.

It All Starts With a Tiny Seed Mark 4:26-34 When Jesus started to face opposition from grous like the Pharisees and Scribes, He started to address the crowds in parables.

Trust The Seed

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 28, 2018

The parable of the sower, or more appropriately the Seed, is a parable about truth and what happens when truth is rejected. Ultimately, it's a parable of encouragement.

We’re going to be in Mark 4 this morning. Most historians agree that the book of Mark, in a sense, is Simon Peter’s autobiography. Mark wrote his epistles based on his conversations with Peter. So, when you read Mark look at how choppy it is. It’s not like the book of Luke which sacrifices few ...read more

The Powerful Word Of God (Just Keep Sowing) - Mark 4:26-34 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2023

The kingdom began shockingly small, but, like a seed, had great power to produce imperceptible growth, automatic growth, and mysterious growth that will result in the glorious, eternal kingdom.

As the farmer can’t cause growth to happen, neither can man cause spiritual growth to happen. Our role is indispensable, however. Seed doesn’t grow unless it’s sown. We must not become discouraged in the work of sowing. Mark 4:26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man ...read more

Small Things

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

The PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD SEED is mentioned three times. We find it in: • Matthew 13:31-35 • Mark 4:30-32 • Luke 13:18 The Lord must have considered this parable to be important to allow it to be mentioned three different times in the Scriptures. We want to look at Matt. 13:31-35, we read, ...read more
