Kingdom Keys - Judges Series

The Difference Series

Example before Jesus: • The widow of Zarephath’s son - 1 Kings 17:22 • The Shunamite’s son - 2 Kings ...read more

The Parable Of A Farmer

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Sep 2, 2022

If the word of God is not bearing fruit in your life, you're not studying the word of God; you're not hearing the word of God; you're not receiving the word of God.

Let me ask three questions before we start this message: 1. If the gospel is the power of God—why doesn't everybody that hears the gospel become a Christian? 2. If the Bible is the Word of God—why doesn't the Bible have the same effect on everyone who reads it? 3. If Jesus is the Son of ...read more
