BRIEF WEBSITE SUMMARY

About this sermon

In “The Seeds of God's Truth,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about the authority of Scripture, prayer, the condition of the church. Drawing especially from John 15, Hebrews 4, Proverbs 25, Luke 8, the teaching emphasizes that Scripture is presented as the standard for doctrine, discernment, and daily obedience. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that prayer expresses dependence on God and prepares believers to hear and obey Him.

    because this is kind of piggybacking off of last week the seed is the word of God but prayer is the water and all of you know that if you plant seed but you don't water it usually not going to have a very big Harvest if any now sometimes there are some seeds that manage to spring up but you guys know you guys been playing the garden some of you have planted one planted one this year last year everyone knows how important water is to the seeds that you plant well I want to encourage you listen we've been planting a lot of seeds this church and I know individually you guys have sharing things with friends with family some of you now for years you've been planting seeds in family and friends and co-workers and members wondering will the seed ever spring up will I ever see the fruit of it and this morning I'm just going to encourage you you will see the fruit of it now this is not to say you don't need to pray and you don't need to fast and you don't need to water it and and of course if you to have a guard you're going to have to keep planting seeds right but this is very important I want to share some things with you because um these are some testimonies before we get into the scriptures this morning I just want to read a few because I I don't always get to share these and I just want to say this to Fire and Grace Church I know I blistered you last week you got a spanking last week but this week I want to encourage you and just say thank you because what I'm about to read is just a few of the messages and the testimonies and the emails that I get from people who are listening to both the broadcast of our services and the radio show and the book and all kinds of things um I've got a powerful testimony this week from a lady in Canada and I just want to encourage this church your prayers you're giving your faithfulness you're part of this as much as I am this is our fruit I want to share with you and the Lord really spoke to me this morning and last night as I was praying and he just said you know I see your labor and the seeds of truth that you keep planting they're going to bear fruit keep planting them and keep watering
