     | 6,468 views

    We think of ourselves as people of the Book, but when the Word of the Lord contradicts our lifestyle, we practice "selective hearing." God says, "Get off the fence! Get on the Lord's side or on the world's side!"

    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.
