    Help for the hurting heart.

    Attitudes to avoid because they promote shallow spirituality.

    Last week we looked at "surface spirituality", the soil that did not receive the seed because it had been "walked on" and was hardened. We learned that we can develop a hardened heart when others hurt us if we’re not careful. If we let our hearts become bitter and unforgiving the Word of God ...read more

    Discipleship was not simply a program through which Jesus ran the disciples. Discipleship was life.

    In the New Testament mathethes occurs only in the Gospels and Acts. The term occurs at least 230 times in the Gospels and 28 times in Acts. The usage is characterized by the fact that mathethes denotes the men and women who have attached themselves to Jesus as their master. Acts has an absolute ...read more

    The Seed Of God's Word

    based on 11 ratings
     | 16,367 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
