    The Seed Of God's Word

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 18, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 17,428 views

    The key to a fruitful and abundant life is with our response to the Word. The way we receive the Word is critical to having a fruitful and blessed life. The seed is productive only if the soil is receptive. The Word is good seed; are you the good soil?

    This is a parable. Jesus explains: “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man” (Mt 13:37) • The field is the world, people of the world (13:38). • And the seed is the Word of God. The sower throws seed onto the ground. God is speaking to the world. • The seed falls onto the ground without ...read more

People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, ...read more

    This teaching explains the fullness of the meaning of Jesus parable of the vineyard and its overall affect on Judaism and Christianity and the Kingdom of God.

    MK 12:1 He then began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and went away on a journey. (2)At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from ...read more

    Before a building project begins, there is always the process of clearing the landscape. You wouldn’t want to lay a foundation on land with debris, would you? In the process of building towards revival, what debris is on your landscape?

    • Throwing things away is not my strong point. My wife and my mother can attest to this. I remember when I was a teenager Mom used to come in my room and ask, "Glenn, are you in there?" Of course she was being sarcastic (At least I think she was). • When we moved I decided I would throw away ...read more

    Ever wonder what that really is - and worried you might have done it? Let’s spread some truth into this very misunderstood idea from Matthew 12:22-32

For many people they think if they accidently say something bad about the Holy Spirit God will damn them to hell for eternity with no possibility of repentance. Well, it’s not that easy.

    Contributed by Mark Roper on Jan 9, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,387 views

    No matter how difficult our lives may be, God has not left us alone. Often, when things are difficult and God seems silent, it is our cue to come away from life’s distractions so that we can synchronize ourselves with God again.

    “When Prayers Go Unanswered” Habakkuk 1:2 NIV 2 How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? At times it may seem that God has hides His face from us, when we don’t receive an immediate answer to our prayers. We pray, we pour our hearts out to God, we ...read more
