Planting Online Digital Ministries - Outside Of The Traditional Walls and Buildings
Jesus used this parable to explain to his followers and the disciples how there are different responses to the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. The sower in the parable is Jesus and the seed is the word of God (both Jesus's spoken word and today the Bible).
Matthew 13:15-32
15For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ 16But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
18“Hear then the parable of the sower: 19When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. 20As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, 21yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. 22As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 23As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
24He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. 26So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
31He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
Jesus spoke the Parable of the Sower to teach how important the state of our heart is to receive the Gospel and how our salvation is proved by our choices and actions after hearing the Gospel.
Do You Need To Plant A Digital Ministry

First, the home minister planter must be a saved individual. The Apostle Paul met the Lord and was converted on the Road to Damascus (Acts 9:1–6).
Second, the home minister should have knowledge and have some experience. Paul was trained at the feet of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3) and later by the Lord (Galatians 1: 11,12). He gained hands-on experience by working in the church in Antioch under the tutoring of Barnabas (Acts 11:25,26).
Third, a minister today also is usually recommended to get some training and most people start off in a Bible college and/or seminary and then some experience working in an established local church before setting out on planting a ministry but I learned myself from the school of God I call it which was Jesus, a KJV bible and me, one-on-one and he leads ongoing in this same way to this very day and will lead this way forever, for me.
Jesus here makes the claim that those who truly follow the Word of God will know that His claims are true.
What is the meaning of John 6:30 then - it is that those who do not wish to believe, prior to a miracle, will not believe, even after a miracle!
Back in that day, the crowd demanded that they see something—an additional miracle—before they would accept the truth John 6:30 So they asked him, 'What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?". Jesus, instead, routinely points out that one must be willing to learn the truth before they can see it. John 7:17 ESV "If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority."
This is a key reason FaithGod'sWay believes full circle why the teachings of Jesus MUST be done for the individual to not only accept salvation, but learn faith and stay in faith, be discipled, share the gospels, learn to walk in the authority of our Lord and the power of God and all he taught us to teach forward including deliverance ministry. I can attest personally I have seen too many miracles and teachings of 100% pure truth and honesty show through multiple accounts and multiple people, too many to even count any longer, and even felt myself Gods miracles, his visions, the holy spirits constant assistance plus everything else Jesus' taught us, we would inherit. I truly know and believe fully Jesus' teachings of pure honest truth become key in a persons spiritual life once they make the connection to Christ, then that spiritual life connection just spills out over in abundance into our daily lives and just takes off the way it is supposed to be and we live from the inside out, rather than the outside in!
While Acts 13:2 makes it clear that Paul and Barnabas had such a call, it does not show that John Mark was called. Later, John Mark quit (Acts 13:13). We do not know why John Mark quit, but we do know that he did.
A fourth lesson we can learn from the planting ministry and church works of the Apostle Paul is the value of established churches taking an active part in church planting. The church in Antioch of Syria was deeply involved in the missionary work of Paul and Barnabas.
The church at Antioch prayed for them and sent them out (Acts 13:3). It was a tremendous help to the missionary efforts of Paul and Barnabas to have the church at Antioch behind them. It also was a great blessing to the church at Antioch when from time to time the mission team reported back to the mother church (Acts 14:27).
The world today is truly a needy amount of nations, just as the Roman Empire was in Paul’s day. More established churches need to catch a vision of the possibilities of planting churches in the next towns. Since missions are dear to the heart of God, God will surely bless those churches and digital online churches which actively help plant more churches or digital online churches (Philippians 4:19).
The fifth principle of ministry planting we can learn from the ministry of the Apostle Paul is that while he obviously knew there are some methods to be followed in planting churches and he used many of them, he also knew that, most importantly, planting churches and ministries means reaching people but also going back to those people later to check on them and how they are thriving.
So whether it was in Philippi working with Lydia and the jailor (Acts 16), or in Corinth working with Titus, Justus, and Crispus (Acts 18:7,8), or in Thessalonica with the devout Greeks and the chief women (Acts 17:4), Paul sought to gather people together, to plant the new church.
Buildings are helpful but they don't come cheap, the average Church building to buy in Canada will run you about $900,000.00 to purchase and finances certainly have their part! These buildings are great however - online digital ministries are great as well and much cheaper on overhead covering many areas that used to be impossible to reach unless walking in by foot basically.
Digital Ministry Planting involves the usage of social media platforms, digital connections and digital equipment and many application softwares to integrate a wide digital reaching platform of which I have experience in most if not almost all areas of this in order to get FaithGod'sWay up and running with Jesus at the helm, prayers and a very modest budget to get this done but the Lord meets the needs of those willing to do the work. If you require information on getting your digital church started and planted please email from the 'tell us' section below, or go on the lets chat section at the bottom right of your screen, and I will be happy to speak with you.
At FaithGod'sWay we know that the most important ingredient in digital ministry planting is people. The earnest minister will quickly make that part of his thinking. This is another important lesson we can learn about church planting and/or ministry of the greatest missionary who ever lived, the Apostle Paul.
