    Contributed by Ray Pritchard on Jul 3, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,744 views

    Most messages on this parable discuss it from the standpoint of the four soils. I want to look at it in terms of what it teaches us about doing ministry today. I find at least eight principles that both challenge and encourage us.

    Lessons for Modern-Day Sowers of the Word Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23 The last few days I have been meditating on the famous parable of the seed and the sower. It is obviously important because is found in three different places in the gospels (with Jesus’ explanation in parenthesis): Matthew 13:3-9 ...read more

    Thomas: My Favorite Apostle

     | 2,638 views

    The apostle Thomas gets the short end of the stick when we read about him and his "doubts" in the Gospel of John. He is more like you and I than we want to admit, and his story affirms it.

    When we read of where Jesus chose the Twelve men who would be known as the Apostles, we need to step back for a moment and realize that these men were ordinary working -class, salt-of-the-earth, rough around the edge individuals who had jobs ranging from catching fish to collecting taxes to a ...read more

In this first part we will look at the positive side of how it was in the Days of Noah, and in part 2 we will talk about the negative and relate it to the man of lawlessness found in the New Testament.

     | 10,781 views

    The Jacob Generation is a generation that will see revival break out. And the Lord desires for everyone to be a part of this Jacob generation, a generation that seeks after God. “This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face.” (Psalm 24:6)

    Becoming A Jacob Generation Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaamIIqonZU What is a Jacob Generation, and why is it important? Well, it has to do with what David talked about in Psalm 24. “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean ...read more
