    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 31, 2025
     | 162 views

    We continue the Sower, considering the seed that fell into rocky ground, the shallow soil, with a warning. Temptation plus affliction and persecution will in time burn and kill off any mere profession. These hearers are only temporary. Then we begin the seed choked in the thorny soil.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 3 of 5 Last time we finished thinking about the good seed that was wasted on the barren pathways and beside the roadway.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025
     | 106 views

    We are studying the third soil in the Parable of the Sower and now consider the reasons why the good seed gets choked by thorns. How many of us know someone who walked as a strong Christian but just departed the faith? It is a complex matter and we try to see why that happens.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 4 of 5 In the last message we did the seed that fell on the rocky soil, and we also did some of the seed that was choked by thorns. We will finish that choked seed this time. Let us revise the relevant verses from last ...read more

It is the eighth in a series of psalms called “songs of ascent” or “songs of degrees”. The psalm says two things about life: life without God is empty and ...read more

    Some of us are a little bit lame in our life because our life has gotten off track. Our expectations of the things of this world let us down, and we need to refocus on the person of Jesus Christ.

    I’m glad I got to speak about Acts chapter 3, because chapter 3 is kind of like one of those first huge miracles of the Church after the day of Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit was given. I want to pick up on the story because...now Peter has just received the Holy Spirit. He came on 120 people. He ...read more

    Failure is an important subject to study because many of us suffer a fear of how others see us rather than thinking about what God wants us to do.
