Seed on SermonAudio

This sermon explores the parable of the growing seed in Mark 4, emphasizing that the kingdom of God operates through the sowing of God's Word rather than human effort or immediate visible results. The preacher highlights the distinction between the sower's responsibility to cast the seed and God's sovereign power to cause growth, a process described as mysterious and automatic. Listeners are encou...

The sermon explores the metaphor of the grain of wheat in John 12, illustrating that spiritual fruitfulness requires the death of the self. It argues that Christ's crucifixion and resurrection serve as the foundational seed from which believers are grafted, drawing life and producing fruit that reflects His character. The text contrasts the futility of seeking earthly glory with the eternal signif...

In Matthew 13:24–58, Jesus uses a series of parables to reveal the nature and value of His kingdom. The wheat and weeds and the net remind us that believers live alongside unbelief and evil in this present world, but a final separation is coming—and our righteousness and assurance rest not in what we can accomplish, but in what Christ has done for us. The mustard seed and leaven show that God's ki...

Jesus is making a change of focus that results from a judicial act of judgment against Israel. They have refused to listen and respond to His calls for and invitations to salvation. Now, He is acting on God's warnings that though they see, they would not see truly, and though they hear, they would not understand. The understanding of the parables is limited to those who believe...at this point, th...

THE ROAD TO BETHLEHEM BEGINS WITH A PROMISE.Genesis 3:15 KJV The journey to Bethlehem did not begin in Luke 2. It began in Eden when sin entered the world and God promised that the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head. From Genesis 3:15, Scripture traces an unbroken road through Abraham, Judah, David, the prophets, Bethlehem, Calvary, and the empty tomb. Satan fought the promise, but h...

Dr. Beale examines the phrase "Church of God" in 1 Corinthians 1:2, arguing that it is a specific allusion to the Old Testament concept of Israel's assembly found in Nehemiah 13. By identifying three key prophetic allusions to Joel 2 and Malachi 1, the message asserts that the church is not merely analogous to Israel but represents the beginning fulfillment of Israel's prophesied salvation and uni...

The sermon explores the concept of "holy optimism," arguing that Jesus consistently disciplined the twelve disciples to shift their focus from immediate circumstances to the eternal character and promises of God. By examining passages in Matthew and John, the message highlights how Jesus used metaphors, such as birds, lilies, and the mustard seed, to correct spiritual myopia and anxiety. The centr...

1. The grace He shows 2. The covenant He makes 3. The faith He works

Humanity violated the Covenant of Works through Adam's sin and forfeited the reward of life. In response, God initiated the Covenant of Grace, promising Christ as the seed of the woman to redeem the elect and bring them back to himself. Preaching the gospel is necessary to call sinners to faith and repentance. Salvation is completed and applied to all who believe, entirely through Christ as reveal...

The sermon explores the theological significance of Psalm 72:16, interpreting the image of a handful of corn on the mountaintops as a metaphor for the advancement of God's kingdom through the simple sowing of the gospel. It argues that the church's growth is not achieved through military power or human effort, but through the divine power inherent in the preached Word, which transforms even the mo...

Galatians 3:13-21 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be con...

This sermon examines the divine oath sworn by the pre-incarnate Christ on Mount Moriah, emphasizing that God's promises are secured by His own unchangeable nature rather than human effort. The message connects the first biblical mention of love and the doctrine of providence in Genesis 22 to the typological foreshadowing of Christ's death and resurrection in Isaac's experience. It distinguishes be...
