| The Sower, The Seed, The Soil, and The Harvest Brother Glenn Hoey, Cashmere, Washington At sometime in every believer's life, we are all the sower, the seed, the soil, and the harvest.

Are you ready for that day to come? |

| The Voice of Truth Broadcast: Let's Go Fishing Pastor Jeff Fletcher E-mail Jeff Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina Everybody likes to share some good news. In fact, as disciples of Christ, that's our primary mission. Take a look at Simon the fisherman. In all ways, he was mostly unqualified, but he was called by Jesus to spread the gospel. Today's study looks at 5 ways to become a fisher of men. Are you being called into action? Are you just involved? Or are you totally committed? Luke 4:43; 5:1-11; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:11; James 1:22; Psalm 1 |
| What a Day! Pastor Dave Hixon E-mail Dave Brush Creek Church of God Tipp City, Ohio God gives each and every one of us the opportunity to be a part of His church. God has chosen you!

| The Sower, the Seed, and the Soils Pastor Joe Myers E-mail Joe Cornerstone Bible Church McDonough, Georgia What's the real job of every Christian? In today's lesson from the Parable of the Sower, we learn that not everyone is called to water, fertilize, or harvest the crop. But every believer is called to sow good seed. Sometimes the seed will fall on bad soil. Sometimes the message will never take root. But we can't be discouraged. It's up to us to spread the seed. It's up to God to bring the increase. So are you ready to start planting? Matthew 13:1-9,18-23,37; 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 |
| Soul-Winning Fred Pensyl 2-17-1974 It may not always be comfortable. Often, it's not. It may not always be easy. It usually isn't.

Fred helps us learn some practical, biblical steps to becoming a "soul-winner" for the Lord. |
| How to Effectively Share Your Faith Pastor Alan Cain E-mail Alan Lawrenceville Church of God Springfield, Ohio It does no good if you call yourself a fisherman and meet week after week to talk about fishing, to plan better strategies, to get better fishing poles, and better lures - but you never put a hook in the water. The question then is are you really a fisherman at all? Too often, individually and in our churches, we spend a lot of time talking about "fishing," but we spend very little time actually out in the water. |
| Missions Mindset Pastor Michael Cisler E-mail Mike North Kent Bible Church Rockford, Michigan How can we be a part of purposeful outreach? How can what we do impact others here and worldwide? First, we have to change our perspective. It's not all about us. God has equipped us for an important mission. It's up to us to accomplish what He has planned for us. Jesus said, "Go!" That's an action. So get off the couch, and "go!" |
| Missional Living: As the Father Sent Me Pastor Kyle Casey North Hills Church of God Springfield, Ohio What does it mean to be "missional?" Do you approach your personal evangelism going "us to them" or waiting for "them to come to us"? Before Jesus left his disciples, he gave them some final words. He sent them into action. He gave them a mission. And we have the same mission. He said, "Go." We are to penetrate the culture and live out our faith in such a way that it is known everywhere. Matthew 28:16; John 20:21-23 |
| Reborn to Reproduce Pastor Dick Eldred When we read about Jesus and his disciples, we find they had one message they were proclaiming. In fact, Jesus said that he was sent for this purpose of preaching the gospel. And it is in that same message we find the mighty power of God. If we have the spirit of God in our lives, we will boldly declare the message of God to the world. Our mission is the same. Our message is the same - and it cannot be silenced. Matthew 3:14; 4:23; Luke 4:33; 8:1; 9:1,2; 24:49; Acts 1:3, 12-14; 3; 4:1,2, 8; 8:5; 5:32;9:17, 20, 22; 19:8; 28:3; John 14:15 |
| Effective Witnessing Pastor Neal Bryant E-mail Neal Abundant Life Community Church Rockford, Illinois So what's so important about witnessing? What's the purpose? And how do we witness to others? What's the message we're sharing in the way we speak and in how we live? Pastor Neal teaches us how to make witnessing a personal and positive part of our lives. Matthew 24:14; Proverbs 14:25; Acts 22:13-16; Mark 6:3 |
