Benediction
Charles Spurgeon:
“Have you ever noticed, when persons are converted, that they most always attribute it to some text that was quoted in the sermon? It is God’s Word, not our comment on God’s Word, which saves souls.”
R.C. Sproul:
Everyone is looking for power in a program, in a methodology, in a technique, in anything and everything but that in which God has placed it—His Word. He alone has the power to change lives for eternity, and that power is focused on the Scriptures.”
- THE OF THE SEED
Constance Barnett:
“The Bible looks like other books. We cannot understand altogether its marvelous power. Planted in the good ground it shows that it has the life principle in itself: it brings forth spiritual fruit.”
Romans 1:16
Charles Spurgeon:
“The words of scripture thrill my soul as nothing else ever can. They bear me aloft or dash me down. They tear me in pieces or build me up. The words of God have more power over me than ever David’s fingers had over his harp strings. Is it not so with you?”
Hebrews 4:12
2. THE OF THE SEED
Matthew 6:24
Galatians 2:14
Tony Evans:
“When you became a believer in Jesus Christ, God placed within you that which is already set up to respond to His Word. But your soul, your heart, must be conducive to receive that which is already there in seed form.”
Alan Jacobs:
“That is one of the most terrifying things a Christian artist will see because have we as a Christian worked the gospel down into the root of our lives so we can trust our imagination, so we can trust our instincts.”
3. THE OF THE SEED
Mark 4:11-12
John 12:23-25
William Cowper:
“To see the Law of Christ fulfilled, to hear His pardoning voice, Changes a slave into a child and duty to choice.”
Mark 4:20
