And we started the journey by looking at how Isaac handled the famine (the hard times) in his life! Genesis 26:12 ... Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same…

Galatians 6:7-9 When God created the universe, He established laws to govern it. These laws govern everything from atoms to attitudes, radar to relationships, protons to people. A law is simply “a rule or principle which brings about a certain result when obeyed.” Laws are fixed, absolute and predictable.…

Galatians 6:7 warns, "Be not deceive; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." This is a spiritual law, as constant as the Law of Gravity. It is inescapable. Neither individuals nor nations can escape the consequences of their actions. We reap what we sow. We reap the…

What are the different parables Jesus taught about the kingdom of Heaven? What lessons might we draw from studying them?

It is always a good idea to read Scripture in its own context because it helps us to rightly interpret the current passage. This parable begins with the words “In the same day”.

The Bible is full of principles we take for granted a lot. Reaping what we sowed is one of them. None of us would be surprised that a farmer who sowed seeds of corn expects corn stalks to show up a few months later. However we often take for granted the spiritual side of this principle. I. God tells…

I really wanted to grow tomatoes – even though I don’t like them. But also potatoes – there’s nothing…

The Sower Last week you heard about the call to become fishers of men.
