MARCH 2025 SUNDAY SERVICES TEACHING OUTLINE
In the parable of the sower Bible says the seeds fell on different grounds. Some fell on rocks, others fell
on sand and others fell on good soil. We all know that sometimes soil doesn’t just become good soil.
We work on it and prepare it.
Therefore to prepare our hearts this morning in wait of the seeds of his word that’s going to be sown.
Enter the spirit and begin to pray ‘Father prepare my heart for your word this morning. Let the seeds to
be planted this morning find a good condition to grow and abide.
As we ask we ask God to prepare our hearts, let’s also ask for an encounter with him. Father I need an
encounter with you. An encounter to set me on my breakthrough highway, and encounter that would
heal me today. Let the light of your word break forth in my heart. In Jesus precious name we have
prayed.
Father we thank you for your blessings in our life from the beginning of the year.
Grant us supernatural breakthrough today.
Set free the captive today.
Heal the sick today by your word.
And let your name be glorified.
In Jesus Name.

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to
brotherly kindness charity. 8
For if these things be in you, and abound, they
make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of
our Lord Jesus Christ. 9
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot
see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and
election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
2. In this Kingdom, it is to everyone according to his faith – Mat. 9:29

and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33

Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: 42

had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But
as he went the people thronged him. 43
And a woman having an issue of
blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither
could be healed of any, 44
Came behind him, and touched the border of his
garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. 45
And Jesus said,
Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said,
Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who
touched me? 46
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive
that virtue is gone out of me. 47
And when the woman saw that she was not
hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto
him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she
was healed immediately. 48

comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

How to keep your faith growing

rejoicing of my heart.

The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me
understanding, and I shall live.
Isa 8:16
16
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

it is because there is no light in them.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
2. One must beware of going after other gods – Ps. 62:5/ Ex. 20:4-5/ Ps. 16:4
Ps 62:5

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
Ex 20:4-5
4
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in
the water under the earth: 5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them
that hate me;
Ps 16:4
4
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink
offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
