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.

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

Our spiritual life must grow as we grow in the Lord. You don’t start with a finished pizza, you must continue to add each layer until you put it in the oven.

Ancient Greeks ate flat, baked bread with ...read more
