Contributed by Ian Johnson on Nov 16, 2005

When people drink wine they become influenced by it in a bad way. We need the wine of God! Which is not wine in the natural but indeed the spirit of God.

Deep Hunger for God is difficult to put into words, Even when we come to a place where we can express our heart before God, the words can take us by surprise.

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

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 16, 2017

In his parable of the sower and the seed, Jesus shows us various kinds of spiritual heart trouble. From the story, we learn to share our faith indiscriminately, trust God to bring the growth, and cooperate with God in the growth he wants to bring in us.
