The Seed Blog: The End of the Beginning
February 15, 2024 21:10We've had a couple of eye-opening, sobering messages lately—the kind that can literally shift how you live and worship. This is one more of such messages—the very last day of this world, of this entire creation as we know it—a day that I think we can accurately call "The End of the Beginning." After this day nothing will ever be remotely the same. In past weeks and months, there has been much focus on End Times Prophecy, the Rapture, and the Tribulation to Come. Today we [...]
The Seed Blog: When You Can't Climb Out of the Hole
January 29, 2024 20:13Today I want to cover a topic which is probably affecting everyone in this room. I’m not a psychiatrist or therapist, but have experienced deep depression personally. This is not an expected cure-all for clinical depression—although, never count out what God will do—but a wakeup call that there is a way out and that depression does its best work in darkness alone. And for the countless others who may hear this message who are not fighting clinical depression but a disord [...]
The Seed Blog: That's My Jesus
January 22, 2024 21:50We are living in a world 5hat screams racism at every turn, and yet many of the same people are calling for the annihilation of the entire Jewish race. We are living in a world that screams "follow the science" when we discuss vaccine mandates and evolution over creation, and yet many of the same people will socially and even legally persecute you for teaching simple, scientific human biology. We are living in a world that is beginning to openly hate Jesus Christ, laughing and smirking...
The Seed Blog: The Secret Talk: John 3:16
January 20, 2024 00:25It's time to leave the worries and cares of all of the mess our world is in right now and focus anew on the most amazing, impacting, life-changing Words of Jesus concerning His Love and Plan for every one of us. Please open your hearts today and let Him speak fresh hope to your very soul. We have heard this verse spoken, and displayed more than any other verse of God's Word in the Scriptures—and with good reason. Because this verse tells so much about the depth of God's Love and His [....
The Seed Blog: Note To Self
December 19, 2023 15:33We see about Jesus' early life...Something simply AMAZING... That we seldom contemplate! We have Studied of how Jesus EMPTIED HIMSELF...Of all of His Attributes of Deity...And walked this earth fully HUMAN! That Incomprehensible Little Babe in a feeding trough...Was 100% a Human Baby! With no knowledge of Who He Was at that Moment...No Knowledge of Why He Came...No Knowledge of the Scriptures or the Will of God! So... How did He Learn these Things?! These few Verses we have abou [...]
The Seed Blog: With All My Soul...
December 19, 2023 15:32So often we are taught as Christians... "Don't just follow your emotions!""Love is a Choice!""Choose to do right, no matter how you feel!""Worship is a frame of mind, not just feeling!" Every one of these statements is TRUE... In proper context! But... Just like many people base...Their entire "religious experience" on pure emotion...Others of us are just as guilty... Maybe, more guilty...Of never feeling or expressing ANY EMOTIONS...In our love and worship of God!...And [...]
The Seed Blog: The Day Jesus Walked Out Of Heaven...
December 18, 2023 21:20Mark 12:29-30: "HEART". Just as one might say, "That child is my whole heart!" This is how we are to see and love our God. And this is how our Jesus shows HIis love for God and for every one of us. The Advent passage we just heard—speaking of Jesus' moment of supernatural conception—shows the ultimate depth of Jesus loving God and His bride with all of his heart. There is a passage in Hebrews which is often misunderstood in the power of its context (the place and time) in whic [...]
The Seed Blog: Leave the Ninety-Nine: Candid Talk on the Transgender Movement
December 12, 2023 20:33This sermon will be uncomfortable, politically incorrect, socially unaccepted, and difficult for many! (But loving, and true!) It is about the explosion of the Transgender Movement in our culture... Even in our own local society!It is about what God Says concerning the tidal wave of change...Towards sexuality, gender, and acceptance! But it will be even more focused… On what the secular world says... And what the secular world shows… Through the horrible suffering of our cul [...]
The Seed Blog: Besieged! The Last Stand
December 12, 2023 20:31Stop for a moment... And as a Christian...Take a long, serious look at where we are right this minute! Your own children are being purposefully taught…Extreme views of sin... Which are against our God... Our core beliefs...Being taught against your own will...And any resistance to that is being labeled extremism...Even terrorism!Drag Queens are reading to our children in schools...But Christian doctrines and beliefs are excluded...Because they are against the interests and views of [...]
The Seed Blog: The Truth About Israel
November 21, 2023 05:00Today's Study will be very different from our usual sermons, but one of absolute importance in our Christian walk, our understanding of the world in which we live, our understanding of how God is working through Israel, and how Satan is cleverly working on Israel, and the world to bring about the Times of the End. So many well-meaning Christians are completely oblivious to the truths of current event because of the ignorance and even purposeful lies being parroted around the world. So ...
The Seed Blog: What Will It Take for You to Finally See?
November 03, 2023 14:37Israel is at war. Here is a portion of the address to Israel from their Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday morning: "Citizens of Israel, we are at WAR. Not in an operation or in rounds, but at war... I have ordered an extensive mobilization of reserves and that we return fire of a magnitude that the enemy has not known. The enemy will pay an unprecedented price... We are at war and we will win it." Hamas, one of two major political parties in Palestine—which governs more th [....
The Seed Blog: It May Be Closer Than You Think!
November 02, 2023 13:37I just want to start out point blank with where we are going today. We are not meant to know the day or hour of Jesus' return, but He did not give us hundreds of prophecies about the events of the Last Days so we would be blind to His works; so we would be blind to the days we are living in. There have been alarmists in every generation believing they were seeing the events of the Last Days. Some were honest enough to recognize the end could not come unless Israel was home. We have see...
The Seed Blog: Stop the World and Melt With You!
November 01, 2023 14:19Last study we had a life-changing talk...About how God's Greatest Desire is not just…To have a Saved believer...But that His Ultimate Goal...Is to have real, intimate connection with us RIGHT NOW! THAT... Is the SOLE reason we were Created! Today's Study will have no impact on you...If you do not truly grasp that FACT! So, please go back to last weeks Study if you missed it! If you embraced the Truth of last week's Study...Of just how deeply God Wants to know you better N [...]
The Seed Blog: God's Greatest Desire...
November 01, 2023 14:16We all have a lot of distractions!...But, even though we all obviously WANT to be here...It is so easy to be distracted with others in service...So easy to be distracted with thoughts in our heads...So easy to be completely focused on everything...But why we are really here! In every one of our lives... Everyday...God Wants our focus... Our attention... Our closeness... Our reverence...We’re too busy, distracted, self-focused, uninterested...Or honestly... Too lacking in desire [...]
The Seed Blog: Operation P.U.P.
October 25, 2023 12:57There is so much happening in the world... So fast…That I felt a fresh look at all of the current events...In light of Scriptures…Is very needed and eye-opening!...But I want us all to consider something today...What good is recognizing these events around us...And seeing how everything is unfolding as prophesied...And becoming convinced we are nearing the end of this era...If that Truth falls on unprepared and apathetic hearts?What if I spent weeks with a fresh Airborne Uni [...]
The Seed Blog: For Such a Time as This
October 25, 2023 12:56Today... We are going to take an in-depth look...At the First Chapter of the Book of Peter...And without further introduction...You will quickly find out why...These Passages are literally "Custom Written"...For OUR GENERATION TODAY!...Because WE... RIGHT NOW, IN THIS COUNTRY...ARE FAST APPROACHING THE CULTURE AND PREDICAMENT...In which the recipients of this Letter found themselves!It is so easy... And natural... To wish we were not living in such...Anti-Christian... Angry, and diffic...
The Seed Blog: The Towel is Mightier Than the Sword
October 24, 2023 13:51I ask that everyone here... Refuse to think about...ONE SINGLE OTHER PERSON this sermon might pertain to today! THIS SERMON IS FOR YOU! YOU ALONE! Listen and apply every word to SELF!... And send it to every person you know who claims Jesus... Because we all need it desperately!...And every time you compare this message to another today...YOU... Are proving how desperately YOU need it! Their are 93 million selfies taken each day in the world! The average millennial is projected&helli [...
The Seed Blog: Loving Like Jesus
October 24, 2023 13:48God Wants YOU to know something today... Before you leave here...You can have complete peace & confidence...In Who you are... Where you are... And What is happening in your life! PERIOD... PERIOD!Most of us here today...Don't truly know who we are in Jesus Christ...Therefore...We can't see and love others as He Desires...Therefore... We stay in a frenzy of stress, depression, bitterness & discontent!What He Truly Died To Give To Us:Genesis 2:25 (ESV) And the man and his wife [...]
The Seed Blog: The Place Where God is Found
October 19, 2023 19:47I want to share with you what God is doing in my own heart right now. I know that God has been working to bring me to a closer and more serious relationship with Him, as He does with all of His children. In very obvious and personal ways, He has made a number of things glaringly clear to me—some of which I want to share with you today. Question: Do you want to truly know God in a more personal and absolutely real way? Stop and truly think about this a moment. Do you think that will [....
The Seed Blog: Cracking the Code
October 19, 2023 19:45One of the most asked questions by Christians is “What does God Want me to do?” “What is His Will for my life?” “How can I know if this is God, or just my desire?” This problem is compounded by the wrong teachings and worries saying that we shouldn't even expect God to speak the same way today that He did in Biblical times; because we now have the written Word and it is complete—we don't need to hear from Him anymore today. This causes some to not [...]
The Seed Blog: It Is Well Past Time
September 29, 2023 20:40 - 477 KB application/pdfOur culture is bullying, shaming, and using downright deception through our education system, media and our social expectations—even our churches—to teach us that God has sinned against many of us in creating us with the gender He chose. Or that He didn't know what He was doing, which stands to reason since He only had the intelligence and ability to create a Universe of which we can’t even see the boundaries with our most powerful telescopes, much less comprehend. A Uni [...]
The Seed Blog: Tell Me Who I Am
September 28, 2023 19:16One of our deepest and most powerful motivations in life is to discover ourselves—find out who we truly are in life. In our current culture, unlike many times of the past, we create our own identity, our own purpose, choose our own path in life, with little guidance or expectation in who we should be, what we should do, even what our gender role may be. Then we work our whole lives trying to build our education, hone our skills and talents, accomplish the right things—so we ca [...]
The Seed Blog: Centerpiece, Timepiece, No-Peace: Israel
August 18, 2023 19:47Have you ever thought to yourself as you read Bible stories, "If I could have lived during those days—if I could have seen that—I wouldn't have any trouble believing in God!"? Look no further: today we are going to take an extremely abbreviated trip through the history of Israel on its 75th Year Anniversary. We will see that we not only have historical proof of God's existence, but present-day proof of God's existence. Proof that is beyond accident or man's design; proof that [...]

August 08, 2023 04:00Today we are here to explore and celebrate…The Awesome, God-Created, Powerful, Blessed, Precious…Role of Motherhood! Which according to the Plans & Purposes of Our Almighty God…And the very foundational truths of Biology...Can only be fulfilled... By a woman! Sad... That we actually have to clarify that...

The Seed Blog: No Fear In Death
August 03, 2023 04:00For about 4 weeks now... I have been preparing this Message! Even started writing it... Then tucked it aside a couple of weeks ago…And when the time came to bring it this Sunday...I was hesitant... Thinking the timing may now be wrong!...But then I realize...In God's Incredible Sovereignty and Care...THIS was exactly the week…He had been Preparing it for all along! So please give God's Words…Complete attention and reverence this morning! Because this topic absolu [...]
The Seed Blog: Why Do You Call Me Master?
July 31, 2023 04:00In the 1700's, a large percentage of Europeans feared the tomato because they thought it to be very poisonous. It was even nicknamed the "Poison Apple." Many years later it was discovered that tomatoes were not actually the culprit, but the fact that they were often being served on pewter plates of the more well-off in society. And the high acid content of the tomatoes would leach the lead content from the pewter and become deadly. So, it was not the fruit which was troublesome all alo...
The Seed Blog: Awake Among the Woke
July 27, 2023 18:40As we discuss our topic today, there will be three potential listeners: 1) worldly, non-believing people of which I do realize have no reason to listen to why I'm right and they are wrong, based only on a God in which they don't even believe exists. Listen open-mindedly, knowing everything I say will be in genuine concern and real love and I simply want you to see the logic behind God's Words even if you do not believe what, I know, is true. 2) Progressive-minded Christians who claim t...

Unfortunately... We now live in an age that can...In all practicality... Be called a "Godless Generation!" With little to no knowledge of the True Teachings of Jesus!

Even His Character and Love...Because of a terrible event in your life? Because things just didn't seem to be working out.....
The Seed Blog: Are You Watching, Part 4
June 07, 2023 04:00We are at the end of a very different four part study on End Times where we have been focusing, not so much on the chronological events of the Last Days (meaning just before the Tribulation period), but on the current and potentially upcoming events and trends in our world right now—which are clear, tell-tale signs of major prophetic incidents coming the Tribulation. Things which, by nature and prophetic declaration, have their beginning roots revealed before the Tribulation begins. [....
The Seed Blog: Are You Watching, Part 3
May 05, 2023 04:00We are in Part 3 of a series concerning End Times Prophecies...But this series is NOT simply about...Chronologically walking through the events of the Last Days...As we have done in the past... And will do again in the future. This series is intended to make us...Aware of the things happening around us everyday...Right now! To make us watchful of the things which...WILL BE HAPPENING... At least in part... In the near future! If we are truly living in the End Days. Because a numb [...]
The Seed Blog: Are You Watching, Part 2
May 01, 2023 04:00We had begun a study of things we should be looking for in our lifetimes if we are indeed living in the last days, which must at least have their beginnings before—or just into the start—of the Tribulation. We should be actively, expectantly looking for these things from a solid scriptural basis with great expectation because such a large portion of the scriptures are used to explain the events to come. Because time and again, scriptures tell us: "To keep watch… for the [...]

March 17, 2023 19:02This message will change your life or offend you. Others don’t know what you’ve been through, but you don’t know what they’ve been through either. We are going to let the message introduce itself as we study today.Let's start with a well known Parable of Jesus which He taught during the Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 7:24-27. Jesus is talking about the very foundation of a man or woman—what supports everything they build their very life upon—and He says t [...]

The Seed Blog: I Have Decided...Part 5
February 27, 2023 05:00We have spent the last four weeks in a Series...Dedicated to giving a Biblically solid beginning to New Christians! Because even with good intentions...We often fall short of giving new believers a proper start...In their New Life with Christ! Today we will cover one last subject...Which seems to be the biggest issue for Christians old & new...In our CURRENT culture!...And that is... "Exactly what is the Church's role?" And, "WHY is it important that I even attend?" We have [...]
The Seed Blog: I Have Decided...Part 4
February 23, 2023 16:07We are in the fourth and most practical part of our five-part series, which has been designed to introduce, and disciple new Christians in their walk with Jesus Christ; to bring newcomers up to speed with our series. Thus far we have studied: 1) exactly what happens when we "accept Christ" as our Savior (because it is a much bigger picture than most realize.) 2) what our new identity becomes through Jesus—the love, worth, oneness—He died to lavish on us. 3) Sin—what it r [...]
The Seed Blog: I Have Decided...Part 2
February 14, 2023 05:00Has anyone ever done an a DNA test? I recently read about a Pastor in Rockville, Maryland—Jay Speights—who took one of these tests to learn of his heritage. After learning about his DNA, he followed up on branches of his family tree to find relatives. He discovered that he actually had royal blood in his veins all along, and was the "Royal Descendant" of King Deka in the Country of Benin, of West Africa (13.7 million people). The pastor traveled to Benin to see his new found f [...]
The Seed Blog: I Have Decided...Part 3
February 10, 2023 05:00We are in the third week of a Series called, "I Have Decided!" Designed to firmly root a New Disciple of Jesus... A New Convert...In their Whole New World of Knowing and Serving Christ! Probably more times than not... A new Christian…Is often left to flounder and wonder...What did I just do?...How have I changed?...Where do I go from here to please Him? With many falling into dark, selfish twists of Doctrine today...And many others... Never learning Who Christ really is.. [...]
The Seed Blog: I Have Decided...Part 1
February 06, 2023 05:00Let me ask all of you... If you had the same experience I had when you came to know Christ?! I had many people talking to me about…"Accepting Christ as my Savior"... For a long time! But once I DID actually believe and trust Jesus as my Savior...I DIDN'T have...Many of those same people...To lead, disciple, or teach me about what I was to do next! Or stress to me…Just how utterly life-altering this decision was to be...By drastically changing everything about...How I vi [...]
The Seed Blog: What Would Jesus Preach?
January 31, 2023 05:00We have a toilet bowl at the house that started to show a little leak around the bottom of the bowl. The donut ring seal had gone bad. I pulled the bowl from the floor and changed the seal. Just a few days later, it was leaking again and now notably rocking. I pulled it out again and found it had been leaking under the toilet for many weeks before it became noticeable outwardly. Now the foundation (floor) was warped and no matter how many times the seal was changed, it was no good. Why...
The Seed Blog: Tearing Open The Perfect Gift
January 11, 2023 05:00How many here have ever watched an older person unwrapping a Christmas gift…Being slow and deliberate...Making everyone go nuts waiting! We’ve studied… Through this Christmas Season…How the Gift Jesus Brought at His Birth…Was slowly and meticulously unwrapped throughout His Life!! With every Trait of the Father He Taught and Showed…With every Human Experience He Lived… For us! Now… How many have ever wrapped a Christmas Gift [...]
The Seed Blog: The Temptations of Jesus
January 09, 2023 21:24The first thing we need to examine...As we learn about Jesus' Temptations...Is whether Jesus COULD actually even BE Tempted in Reality...With the actual Potential of choosing against God's Will! (Peccable) Or was He Tempted in symbolism only?! Incapable of Sinning! (Impeccable) Many scholars are split on this subject...And the answer greatly affects how we view...Christ's Sufferings IN these Temptations! SO... It is well worth taking a moment to explore! I personally feel the a [...]
The Seed Blog: The Forgotten Gift- Why Did He Really Come?
December 31, 2022 21:56This may seem like a strange Message at Christmas time, but I assure you it is right on target. Have you ever forgotten a gift? As we remind our audience every year in the Nativity that little baby in the manger—that precious innocent child—came for one single reason to this earth, and the greatest gift ever given, was hidden away and forgotten for 33 years before it was finally unwrapped. That tiny, sweet child of Mary had to become the very essence and embodiment of our sins [...]
The Seed Blog: Growing Pains
December 19, 2022 16:45Dysfunctional Families! Now let's look deeper into Jesus' Early Years...Because... When you put the pieces together...There is actually a bit more Written in Scriptures than we realize! The average Christian sees Baby Jesus…Born into a sweet and caring family...And growing up in the best of atmospheres...Cuddled in love... In a stable and well-functioning family...After all... He is the Son of God...And God would have made sure He was in the best of situations! Until He l [...]
The Seed Blog: Have I Gone Too Far?
December 15, 2022 05:00We have been in an unplanned series, which is probably the best kind of series, growing in what it means to really turn from this world and our sins and want Christ and His Ways more than our own life rather than say a prayer for deliverance and go on with life as usual. What it means to truly die to self and stop living for the, goals, pleasures and meaning of this world as our motivation and purpose. And what it means to truly Rise again new with Christ, seeing everyone and everythin...
The Seed Blog: Cut the Cord Already!
November 30, 2022 05:00A few Wednesday's ago... With a strong notion from God...We changed from the Wednesday Night Bible Study...To bring the first part of what was to be...One of the most powerful mini-series I've ever studied personally...Bringing us back to the very roots...Of what it means to Accept... And Live for... Jesus Christ! A Study that kind of made me "Wipe the board clean"...From all that we usually think about Living for Christ...And with a fresh... Biblical... Tradition-challenging Foundat [...
The Seed Blog: Throw Some Dirt Already!
November 28, 2022 05:00This past Wednesday we took a break from our "Walk Thru The Bible" series to cover one of the most powerful and divisive teachings of Jesus Christ as He walked the earth 2000 years ago. One that seems to be all but lost in today's Christian culture. What was this disruptive and disliked teaching of Jesus? The understanding that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord is not simply believing He exists; not simply asking Him to save your soul and then going about your life business as usual with ...
The Seed Blog: The Priceless Blood of Jesus, Part 2
November 22, 2022 05:00Last week we began a two part series about..."The Blood of Jesus!"Thus far we have seen how the Blood of Christ...Did so much more than bring Salvation! It Also brought...Boldness instead of shame...Protection from Satan...Oneness with the Father... Became Blood-Kin to GOD! Power to fight sin and work in the Spirit! We saw that "The Blood" of Jesus... Was not just for a One Time Moment of Salvation...But It is to be...Covered Under, Lived In, Empowered By, and Accepted Thru...Every mom...
The Seed Blog: The Priceless Blood of Jesus, Part 1
November 08, 2022 22:25I have heard many an Old Baptist Preacher...Giving sermons about "The Blood of Christ!"...Usually in a fiery sermon about Salvation!...How "The Blood" is the Only Way to Heaven!...And this is all good... And all true!...But as a NEW Christian... Sermons about "The Blood"...Always seemed somewhat odd... Almost violent at times! Sometimes even leaving me a bit creeped out...As to WHY God Did Things this Way! Rarely was there a full explanation...Of exactly WHAT the Blood of Christ did......
