Switching metaphors, we look at Matt 25:14-30. William dives deep into the 3 things God gives us in order to represent Him on the earth. In this message, William shows why having influence in our personal circles is vital to the mission of expanding God’s kingdom, how to develop influence, and the rewards that come from stewarding God’s resources well. This message ends with a powerful appeal for each of us to move to the next level of our personal walks with the Lord.

We step back and explore two key concepts related to Cultivating for a harvest: the nature of the Kingdom, and the nature of the seed. Going back to the Garden and the beginning of creation, William shows how understanding these ideas gives context to the parable of the farmer who plants and harvests in Mark 4:26-29, and why it is imperative that we be producing good fruit.

In the fifth message of this series, you’ll discover the secret to commitment. Here’s a quick teaser, it’s NOT what you think. Listen to this message and be pleasantly surprised by the discovery. I don’t want to give it away, but it is a major paradigm shift from mainstream thinking. 
I promise the discovery found in Matthew 13:44-46 will inspire and encourage you. You don’t have to doubt yourself any longer. This message gives you the key to unlock the power of commitment in your life. 

Today, we learn the importance of starting small, building momentum, and finishing big. It’s absolutely essential to understand Jesus' parable of the mustard seed. The seed is one of the smallest but it doesn’t remain small, and most importantly, the seed contains divine potential. 
What seeds has God planted into your life? 
What is God trying to awaken, activate, and advance through you? 
God has planted seeds of greatness in you, but you must do something to nurture and sustain God’s growth cycle. 

In the third message of this series, we learn the importance of guarding against the enemy. It’s important not to underestimate or overestimate him. 
It’s essential for us to recognize his strategies so that we can protect our soil. There are proactive ways to guard against the enemy, but there are also reactive ways to remove the rocks and thorns from our soil.
Lastly in this message, we’ll address the challenges of the weeds growing with the wheat. It’s so important for us to prioritize four primary truths: 
- Guard against the enemy
- Protect our soil
- Love imperfect people
- Let God be the judge, not ourselves

Guest speakers, Tom and Susie Brock,  bring a word of hope and encouragement as they remind us that the journey to victory must go through tragedy. Teaching out of the passage from John 11 we will hear revelation and receive understanding from the words of Jesus and the way that he engaged with the death of his friend. 

In the second message of this series, we’ll learn who the farmer is and what the farmer does. Farmers don’t approach farming with blind faith, but rather, they embrace the risk and work associated with their confidence in the law of the harvest. The more we understand the farmer and the process behind the harvest; the more we can replicate the process in our life. Spiritual growth and blessing aren’t a secret or mystery; they are available to anyone who is willing to cultivate good soil, plant the seeds, nurture the growth cycle, and prepare for the harvest. 

In this opening message we’ll build the foundation of the series by learning about the four types of soil and what’s needed to: plow the soil, prepare the seedbed, plant the seeds, and pray for rain. This is an extremely important series because it gives you trusted and proven ways to produce a harvest, some hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 

What are your spiritual expectations for Christmas? What does it look like for us to elevate our expectations to the promises of Christmas?
This message helps you focus on the promises instead of the problems. Christmas is about new beginnings; therefore, it is an opportunity to focus on five goals. You’ll learn how to envision your future, create a purpose statement, assess your current reality and create specific commitments for the New Year. This is the best way for Christmas to bless your life and the lives of others beyond Christmas day.

What are your spiritual expectations for Christmas? What does it look like for us to elevate our expectations to the promises of Christmas?
This message shows how light always leads to repentance. However, repentance is widely misunderstood. This message attempts to show that repentance is more relational than intellectual. Ultimately, it’s about restoring the relationship. Once our relationship is restored everything else become light and easy. Listen to this message and discover all the gifts of Christmas, but especially the invitation to open a gift that is light and easy.
