Your time, your help, your encouragement, and your gifts are all seed. You will also see the verse I have prayed in first person for almost 20 years, and how to receive God's promise of provision the exact same way you received salvation. By faith. Not by sight.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN - How the law of sowing and reaping actually works - Why sowing sparingly still produces a harvest - What generous really means (open handed) - Why God loves a cheerful, heartfelt giver - What all grace and every earthly blessing includes - What it means to be completely self sufficient in Him - How to receive by faith when circumstances say otherwise CHAPTERS 0:00 Welcome and today's encouragement 1:35 2 Corinthians 9:6 and the context of the offering 3:17 Sow sparingly or sow generously: how the law works 7:42 Why this law is not only about money 10:42 A lifestyle of sowing creates a lifestyle of reaping 13:29 Verse 7: God loves a cheerful giver 15:13 Verse 8: all grace, every favor, and earthly blessing 19:49 How to receive it by faith, just like salvation 23:56 Prayer and declaration SCRIPTURES REFERENCED 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (Amplified and Amplified Classic) Galatians 6:7 Matthew 6:33 Genesis 1:26 1 Corinthians 6:17 2 Corinthians 5:7 If this teaching helped you, like the video and leave a comment with what stood out to you.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen We are looking at seven things that are an abomination to God, and now we will focus on our mouth. More specifically: a lying tongue, a false witness that breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Three of the seven things on the list God hates have to do with how we choose to use our mouth. And all three of these things that God hates us to do with our mouth can show up at work. Clearly if we use our words to lie, we lack integrity. What about a lying tongue? Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is for a moment (Proverbs 12:19). God wants you to be honest in all ways. This includes those little lies you may call “white lies”. Did you say you sent an email when you didn't? Were you late for work, but said that you were on time? God still grieves this. The Word tell us a lying tongue is for a moment, and truthful lips endure forever. Eventually truth comes to light. In the context of work, depending on what you have lied about, it could have implications on how long your employment “endures”. One of the ways we can lie is by being a false witness. If you don't know, don't comment! And don't assume! Providing untrue information about someone or something at work can have implications far beyond your passing comment. This includes speculating about someone's motives in a situation. If you don't have direct and honest information, it is best to say nothing at all. In Proverbs 12:17 the Word tells us: An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies. It is easy to think we know things when we really don't at all. Sometimes at work, you will be called upon as a witness. It is important to only state facts and not assumptions about what you are asked, and not to comment if you truly don't know anything. Sowing discord. The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Proverbs 12:18). Think about what happens when you quickly comment about something at work. Being rash means proceeding without a lack of careful consideration of the possible consequences and in this case, of the words being used. Do you blurt things out? Comment in meetings at an inappropriate time? Complain about company policies or other colleagues? Do your inside feelings of dissatisfaction come out? All of this can sow discord and God hates this. How can you bring healing instead? Sometimes, saying nothing is the best thing you can choose.
Have you ever wondered why people respond differently to the Word of God? Through scripture today we will see why some people are changed by the Word and others remain unchanged by the Word of God. The challenge we all have is to constantly be examining our hearts! Join us today as we see what happens When God's Word Comes to You. Chapters (00:00:00) - Luke, When God's Word Comes to You(00:02:52) - Jesus(00:04:39) - Will You Hear God's Word When It Comes to You?(00:05:29) - The Women of the Parable of the Sower(00:09:40) - The Sowing and Casting Out the Seed(00:12:52) - Crucified Heart: With Convenience and Hard Rock So(00:14:59) - Crowded Heart(00:21:52) - God's Word comes to You(00:27:07) - Jesus on the Family(00:29:40) - Sow the Word of God
The sermon exhorts believers to sow righteousness through consistent church attendance, prayer, and scripture study to reap God's abundant mercy. It identifies pride as the primary obstacle to spiritual growth, manifesting in attitudes of superiority regarding skills, knowledge, and position. The preacher contrasts this hardened heart with a teachable spirit, illustrating how brokenness removes barriers and invites divine favor. By peeling away layers of self-reliance, individuals can cultivate humility and allow God to work deeply within their lives. The central message urges the audience to abandon prideful resistance and embrace a posture of repentance and dependence on grace.

Do you ever feel like the same frustrations, arguments, and headaches keep following you? What you put out into the world always comes back to you. That's the timeless law of sowing and reaping. The good news is, you don't have to feel chased by your past. You can take charge instead. Discover the four laws of harvest that can change your path: 1. You reap what you sow. 2. You reap more than you sow. 3. You reap in a different season. 4. You can plant seeds for a new future. Start planting new seeds today if you want a different tomorrow.
Psalm 126 teaches us that in times of trouble, it is good to remind ourselves of God's faithfulness to us in the past. In 126:1-2, we see the Israelites practicing faithful rememberance. This life giving spiritual practice is what sustains them through their dangerous journey of ascent. God is steadfast and His loving care never changes. The same faithful God that walked alongside the Israelites thousands of years ago still walks with us on our own journeys. His love for His children has not faded. We too can have faith that God will take our tears and turn them into joy, not only as He did for the ancient Israelites but also for His own Son, Jesus. Jesus wept tears of anguish on a dark night in the Garden of Gesthamane before He was to be hung on a cross. But God took those tears and turned them to joy as He was raised to life and the atonement for our sins was complete. When we weep, we can be assured that in His timing, God will take our tears and turn them into everlasting joy. He always has and He always will.

Spiritual starvation has a frightening symptom: eventually, you stop feeling hungry. The Word you store in your heart today may be what sustains you when famine comes. From August 9, 2026
The Restored Temple (vv. 1-4) The Resurrected Son (John 2:19-22; 1 Corinthians 15:20, 23) Sowing in Tears (vv. 5-6) Discussion Starters Monday—Do you ever read the account of Jesus' trial and crucifixion, wishing that he would just do something to stop it all? Why didn't he stop it? Tuesday—What was the temple destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and the Jews taken away into captivity in Babylon? What did the restoration of the temple tell God's people about God's plans for them? Wednesday—Why is Jesus' body called a tabernacle (John 1:14) and a temple (John 2:19)? How did the destruction and rebuilding of the temple prepare God's people for what would happen to the Messiah? Why do you think that, despite all the Old Testament said, his disciples were still surprised by his death? Thursday—What does it mean to “sow in tears”? What is the promise of scripture for all who are willing to suffer with Jesus in this life? (Romans 8:17; 2 Corinthians 1:17; 2 Timothy 2:12) Friday—How must Christian worship reflect this pattern of tears, then joy? What is the danger of neglecting that reality as we gather for worship?

Then we track how Paul defends his ministry, exposes false apostles, and points us toward integrity, spiritual clarity, and boasting in weakness so Christ gets the credit. • Paul's “adjustment” toward alignment rather than manipulation • The promised gift and why readiness matters • Sowing and reaping as a picture of generosity • Giving decided in the heart without compulsion • God's grace overflowing so we overflow in good works • Spiritual warfare as taking thoughts captive to obey Christ • Rejecting comparison and self-commendation • Warning signs of false apostles and disguised evil • Boasting in weakness so accusations lose their power Join me next time, and we'll finish up this letter from Paul At outloudbible.com, you can find free resources to help you study the Bible.

Pastor Bill Scheer and Dustin Miller have a direct conversation about biblical prosperity, stewardship, peace, and the responsibility that comes with God's blessing.In this message, they challenge the idea that prosperity is simply a dollar amount. Biblical prosperity includes peace, security, growth, control, and the ability to fulfill God's purpose. They also explain why prosperity and stewardship must work together, how the Word of God reshapes our mindset, and why believers are called to build, serve, and advance the kingdom through the local church.Prosperity is not just something to enjoy.

This weeks sponsors: Seeds Ireland High Quality Seeds: See link below for listener offer. https://seedsireland.ie/masterAugust arrives and the seed sowing list shrinks, but that does not mean the growing season is over. We talk through a practical August sowing guide that keeps your veg patch productive, especially if you garden in a UK or Ireland climate where late summer can still deliver plenty of growth when you pick the right crops.We start with the dependable staples: spring onions for steady succession sowing, then lettuce choices that actually make sense now (think loose-leaf and butterhead rather than tight-heading types). We cover spinach variety switches as the month moves on, and why you can often sow a little more at this point because bolting pressure begins to ease. From there we move into quick, rewarding options like radish, plus the love-it-or-hate-it turnip, and how overwintering cabbages can be raised under cover and planted out for an early spring payoff, as long as you plan for protection from pigeons.Autumn salads get a proper spotlight too: rocket, mustard leaves, winter cress, tatsoi, pak choi and endive bring flavour and continuity when summer salads slow down. We also touch on herbs still worth sowing, plus chard and kale under cover. Then we share a fun late-season project: Christmas potatoes grown in containers using cold-stored early varieties, including why blight vigilance matters and how the container routine flips as frost approaches. We finish with the August essentials around watering tomatoes, tidying beds after onions and garlic, and staying alert for caterpillars, slugs and disease.If you find this helpful, subscribe, share it with a fellow gardener, and leave a review so more growers can find the show.Support the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

What are you planting with your life today? Every choice we make is a seed. In the final episode of our No Other Gospel series, we explore Paul's powerful teaching in Galatians 6:3-5 and 7-10 about sowing and reaping. Paul reminds us that we cannot fool God, that each believer is responsible for their own walk with Christ, and that perseverance in doing good will produce an eternal harvest. In a world filled with false teaching and shortcuts to spirituality, the true Gospel calls us to faithful obedience, humble service, and unwavering commitment to Christ. Join us as we conclude this journey through Galatians and discover how to plant seeds that will bear fruit for eternity.
Sheelaa M Bajaj, numerologist and founder of House of Sheelaa, believes our biggest barrier isn't bad luck—but failing to align our name, birth date, and elements with our highest frequency. She reveals that your birth number and life path number are only the surface; your name's vibration and the five elements (fire, earth, metal, water, wood) dictate whether you attract honey or flies—and why ignoring these energetic pillars keeps you swimming against the current.From surviving an abusive marriage to activating her own Raja Yogas through name changes, Sheelaa views numerology as a memory system for planetary energy left by ancient channelers. She shows why a Number Four must set boundaries to stop over-giving; why a Number Seven's overthinking isn't a flaw but a spiritual gift; why a Number Nine must find their soul's purpose or burn from within; and why aligning your name with the right planet transforms personal chaos into professional and relational miracles.We explore the difference between heaven's luck (fixed birth chart), earth luck (feng shui and vastu), and personal luck (name and mindset), the fiery 2026 as a "Year of the One" ruled by the sun, the necessity of syncing energy healing with hypnotherapy to close old trauma tabs, and how viewing yourself as a conscious creator turns karmic lessons into quantum leaps.The path to your destiny has always been encoded in numbers. Will you keep blaming your circumstances—or finally tune your frequency to the vibration that makes everything flow with ease?

The parable of the Sower is a surprisingly haunting parable. Haunting because it talks about how evil works to take away our faith; haunting because we have seen it happen just as Jesus says it will.The parable is about the Sower who sows seed on different types of ground, each of which represents a different condition of our heart and lives. Pastor Rob reflects on how he has seen people‘s faith wither away for different reasons, each reflecting the words of the parable.Yet the parable is also about God goodness, generosity and ultimate victory. Pastor Rob also reflects on the amazing harvest that God‘s word produces, as well as God‘s willingness to continue to sow the seed, even when our heart is hard
“That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed.”Matthew 13:1-3
In Week 3 of our Kingdom Greatness series, Pastor Alex Gowler delivers an eye-opening message focused on what it truly means to serve our community. Challenging the cultural definition of greatness, this message confronts the lie that we can follow Jesus without actively contributing to the common good of those around us. Grounded in the truth of Galatians 6:7-10, Pastor Alex unpacks how kingdom greatness isn't about status or keeping rigid religious rules—it is the direct fruit of sowing to the Spirit rather than the flesh. If you have ever felt too busy, worried, or distracted to step out in faith, this message is a prophetic wake-up call to cut back the hurry, step back from the worry, and take back the waste of time and energy stolen by the enemy. Discover how simple, everyday acts of service can jumpstart your spiritual maturity and position you to receive the eternal harvest of blessings God has prepared for you.KEY TAKEAWAYS:- Redefining Your Community: True community service isn't just about your inner circle; it means intentionally contributing to the common good of the everyday people you share spaces with—neighbors, coworkers, and strangers alike.- The Law of the Harvest (Galatians 6:7-8): God's justice cannot be mocked. Sowing to the flesh via ego, comfort, or self-centeredness yields temporary decay, while investing your time and energy into the Spirit reaps a lasting, eternal life.- Overcoming the Three Obstacles: To effectively serve, we must actively battle self-centeredness expressed through Hurry (which blinds us to others), Worry (our fear of vulnerability and rejection), and Waste (throwing away valuable time on digital distractions).- The "Ministry of Small Talk": You don't need a massive platform to share Christ's love. Simple, intentional interactions like greeting a neighbor or asking about someone's day carry the literal presence of the Holy Spirit into a disconnected world.- 5 Practical Ways to Engage: Move from stagnation to active obedience by choosing to be a good neighbor, volunteering for local causes you care about, giving meaningful time (beyond just writing a check), stepping into local civic leadership, and committing to consistent prayer for your community.

In the Parable of the Sower we can not only learn about types of soil, but the nature of the Sower. Scripture: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
Still Sowing After All These Years Pastor Teri Ditslear We are blessed to have a series of guest preachers join us this summer to share sermons while Pastor Cogan is away on family leave. This is a great way to hear from a variety of voices while we have the opportunity. It's also a meaningful way to give Pastor Mark a break from doing all of the preaching, all of the time. This Sunday's guest was Pastor Teri Ditslear whose visit, as a former Pastor and Partner in Mission at Cross of Grace, coincided nicely with our 25th Anniversary celebration and with the groundbreaking blessing for our next building project.
This sermon explores Jesus' parable of the sower, focusing less on soil types and more on the reckless generosity of the sower—God—who scatters grace, hope, and stories without counting the cost. It invites listeners to receive these kingdom stories, to sow compassion and mercy without expecting visible results, and to trust that growth is ultimately God's work.

Watch Spiritual Treasure and Our Use of Material Things – Part 2 to understand the biblical stewardship of wealth and sowing to the Spirit. The way believers handle their finances reveals their true spiritual valuation. In Galatians 6, the Apostle Paul connects our daily financial decisions to the eternal principle of sowing and reaping. True Christians understand that their earthly possessions are tools for eternal investment. Sowing to the flesh leads to destruction, but sowing to the Spirit yields eternal life. This requires a personal decision to prioritize the advancement of truth and the care of faithful biblical teachers. We must not be deceived into thinking we can ignore God in our earthly stewardship. Believers are called to leverage their resources to do good to all people, especially the household of faith. A right biblical worldview looks beyond passing pleasures and fixes its hope on future rewards. We must seize every opportunity to invest our lives in what truly matters. Key Biblical Takeaways: - True treasure is revealed by a loving investment in those who faithfully teach the Word of God. - God cannot be mocked; the spiritual and financial seeds you plant today determine your eternal harvest. - Sowing to the Spirit means using your resources to build up the church rather than feeding fleshly desires. - Christians must urgently do good to everyone while prioritizing the needs of fellow believers.
Watch Pastor Jessica this week as she continues our series, One Book 2026: Galatians. In this week's message, Jessica talks about what it looks like to live a life where the seeds you're planting are producing the fruit you want to produce.

Send us Fan MailWINNING BY SOWING THE SEEDS OF EMPOWERMENTInterviewee Leah Penniman and Fairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz are good friends with Jon's essential peace teacher (and prior Beat the Prosecution podcast guest) Jun Yasuda, whose beautiful peace pagoda is less than two miles from Leah's Soul Fire Farm. Leah's story is one of never giving up nor giving in, which is also essential for criminal defense. She experienced substantial racism while growing up, and kept persevering, including with learning about farming. Long ago, Leah, her husband and children lived in an Albany food desert, and ultimately, she and her husband bought the farmland that is now Soul Fire Farm. Leah did not stop at merely opening a farm, but has a nonprofit to assist lower income people with food, and welcomes countless people to learn about self empowerment and farming. Leah tells some captivating stories, including about African women who would braid seeds into their hair, to have them available for planting in the event they were forced into slavery. Leah does not candy coat the hurdles in life, the history of racism (including in farming), and the continuing racism found too extensively in society. She recognizes those hurdles and continues persevering. Leah's thoughts on helping criminal defendants, are, aptly, for them to remember that they and all beings are sacred. I recommend donating to Soul Fire Farm, and reading Leah's books Farming While Black- Soul Fire Farm's Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land, and Black Earth Wisdom: Soulful Conversations with Black Environmentalists (2023). Coming next is Children of the Land: A Soul Fire Farm Parenting Guide, authored by Leah and her child Neshima. Here is the video version of this episode. Here is the Apple podcast version.

A few minutes of encouragement for your Tuesday
Solomon teaches that while life is often unpredictable and unfair, we are not called to sit still in fear but to live wisely and faithfully. He encourages generous giving, consistent habits, calculated risks, and trusting God with outcomes we cannot control, knowing that faithful choices often bear fruit over time. He also warns against letting anger, bitterness, and vexation take root, comparing them to a poison that slowly shapes the heart. Instead, believers are called to cultivate joy, gratitude, spiritual disciplines, and a heavenly perspective, choosing daily to bless others, reject resentment, and walk in wisdom despite life's uncertainties.

While Trump gets ready for his White House UFC fight, his administration seems to be focused on sowing doubt in US elections. Plus, more states resist DOJ subpoenas for their voter registration lists, while the US postal service weighs a proposal to restrict delivery of mail-in ballots. And, Trump centers his baseless election fraud claims on CA's recent primary, backed up by the top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles. Ron Insana, Molly Jong-Fast, Rev.

In this episode, we detail the vague, baseless racism-sowing media coverage and pop culture obsession with so-called "sleeper cells," a construction that has consumed post-9/11 America but suffers from one major problem: there's no evidence it exists.
