The Soil and the Seed

February 10, 2019 • Pastor Allen Bonnell

"Even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God." 2 Corinthians 4:3–4 How can your enrich your soil? Obedience “For whoever has, more will be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.” Mark 4:25 Word Pray Listen What can we learn? 1. Sow the Word of God liberally. 2. Don’t be discouraged by disbelief. 3. Focus on being faithful, not fruitful. "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." Galatians 6:7 We reap what we sow; we reap more than we sow; we reap later than we sow.
