    The Call Of The Ploughman

    We know in farming & agriculture that long before a harvest is reaped there has been some ploughing of the soil. Any farmer can tell you that the idea of reaping a crop without ploughing the soil is ludicrous! Is it any different with the soil of the hear

    This sermon deals with Paul’s thorn in the flesh. We all have our thorn in the flesh. How will we react to the pain?

    On the parable of the sower.

    Mathew 13 By Dr M Zigas 4 types of Christians We see from this scripture of St Mathew, that Jesus spoke to the crowd with parables.

    The Liberal (Generous!) God And Our Response Series

    God is liberal - and by that I mean generous, ample, extravagent in giving. Jesus told this parable ABOUT the crowd not TO the crowd. What is our response to the message of Jesus from the liberal God? What kind of soil are we?

    God is liberal! God is not a Liberal Democrat, but God is liberal! God is not ’wishy-washy’, but God is liberal. God is incredibly generous and extravagant. God does not say, “Anything goes.” God is not that kind of liberal; but when the dictionary says ’abundant, ample, giving freely;[ and] ...read more

    The demon would ‘quickly’ be in action, before the word takes root in you and grow. The birds (vultures) would come and devour it !

    DEVOURED THE SEED Birds came ….. Matthew 13:4” .. as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.” I remember a dream I had during the initial days of my salvation, through which God demonstrated the above scripture very vividly and beautifully to me.

    It is important how we come to church and hear! We often forget that listening to preaching is an act of worship but few really prepare their mind to hear the Word in a focused way.

    TAKE HEED HOW YOU HEAR TEXT: Hebrews 2:1-4 Hebrews 2:1-4 KJV Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. [2] For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just ...read more

     | 85 views

    This time we see the fertile, good soil as the Sower broadcast his seed. This is what everyone wants. Also we see the obligations of sowers, the care of the seed, and how this relates to the gospel. We must never handle the bible deceitfully.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 5 of 7 So far we have covered the first three soils in the Parable of the Sower and in this message we come to the last one. The outcome here is what everyone wants to happen in preaching the gospel, but experience and the ...read more

    Surprising source of a strength for the Christian: his "thorn"

     | 108 views

    Parts 5 and 6 go together but had to be split. Here we look at the results of harvest 100-60-30, contention in churches, and gospel preaching. The parable of the sower is a remarkable one and we are seeing this as we go. We look at how the parable of the talents are related.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 6 of 7 This next message continues from the previous one. We begin by looking at why some seed produced 100, some 60, some 30. [[EXAMINING THE HARVEST RATES FROM THE SOWING]] One very primary application of this parable ...read more
