"The Parable of the Sower" a sermon preached by Pastor Nelson Turner on the Lord's day May 24, 2009 regarding the subject of "the Kingdom of God" and "the kingdom of heaven" as they appear in the word of God for English speaking people, the King James Bible (Authorized Version of 1611, 1769 Cambridge Edition). Pastor Turner elucidates for those with ears to hear that "performance doesn't get you into heaven" and that many modern day "Christians" are in need of an "extreme spiritual makeover" taking the form of a "circumcision of the heart". In verse after verse, the pastor demonstrates that you don't choose to be Christian, you don't choose to be saved, you don't choose to do anything worthwhile in the sight of God. In fact, those whom God has chosen from before the foundation of the world to be His children by adoption through the Lord Jesus Christ are compelled to come into His sheepfold, compelled to come into His feast by a "divine coercion". In the midst of the sermon, Pastor Turner extended an open invitation to engage in an internet discussion concerning the corrupting concepts of man's free-will and works salvation.Verses cited in this sermon for the edification of God's saints and the condemnation of the reprobate include: Luke 8:18, 4-15 / Genesis 1:11 / Revelation 12:17 / 1 John 3:9 / 1 Peter 1:23/ Matthew 13:18, 3-14 / Proverbs 20: 12 / Isaiah 43:8, 42:18 / Ezechial 36:26 (compared with Jeremiah 31:31) / Revelation 5:5, 22:16 / Romans 13:13 / 1 Thessalonians 4:12 / Hebrews 13:8 / 2 Corinthians 8:21, 13:7 / 1 Peter 2:12.
