Healthy relationships don't happen by accident. In "4 Keys to Healthy Relationships," Duane and Sue Sheriff discuss how healthy relationships are built on intentional, godly communication. They apply biblical principles that strengthen every relationship—marriage, family, friendships, and even the Church. Honest conversation, active listening, and Christlike love form the foundation for lasting connections. When communication breaks down, misunderstanding and division take root, but when we learn to speak the truth in love and listen with humility, healing begins. Whether you're married, single, or navigating complex relationships, these practical tools will assist you in communicating effectively, rebuilding trust, and experiencing God's design for unity and peace.

In the seventh episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explores the profound mystery of how the condition of the ground influences the principles of sowing and reaping. While many recognize the power and potential of seeds, few understand the significance of the ground.Drawing from Mark 4 and Genesis illustrates how everything in creation came from the ground—trees, animals, and humans. The ground, much like a mother's womb, activates and nurtures the seed, leading to a bountiful harvest. The story of Cain and Abel shows how sin affects the ground's ability to yield fruit.Just as natural seeds need good soil to prosper, spiritual seeds require pure hearts to produce supernatural harvests. Spiritual ground determines the quality of the harvest. Keep your heart, which is your spiritual ground—pure and receptive so God's Word can activate the miraculous power of the ground in your life!The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the sixth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff reveals the crucial principle that seeds are sown in one form but reaped in another form. In 1 Corinthians 15 and Mark 4, we uncover that many miss their harvest because they expect it to return exactly as they planted it.God is the Lord of the harvest, and He determines the form of your return. Whether you sow money and reap opportunities or plant kindness and receive favor through different channels, the key is learning to discern when harvest time comes and having the humility to receive God's provision. Just as Jesus' physical body was sown in one form but raised in a completely different form at the resurrection, our spiritual seeds follow this same principle. Open your eyes to God's blessings in unexpected forms, and cultivate the humility, patience, and faith needed to discern and receive the full harvest of what you've sown.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Every person was created to reflect the image and likeness of God. Unfortunately, sin has distorted that reflection and blinded many to their true worth. In part one of “Bearing God’s Image,” Duane Sheriff reveals the divine design behind humanity’s creation and the incredible value God places on every human life.From Genesis to Colossians, Scripture declares that we are not accidents—we are image bearers of a holy and loving Creator. Sin damages God’s image in man, but righteousness through Jesus Christ restores it. Understanding this truth is essential to recovering our God-given dignity in today’s confused and broken culture.God’s image isn’t something we put on—it’s who we were created to be!

In the fifth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explores the profound necessity of a seed's death to produce a harvest, drawing parallels between physical and spiritual seeds. John 12 reveals that seeds remain dormant until they are sown and must die to bear fruit, similar to Jesus, the promised seed, whose sacrificial death resulted in a global harvest of believers.Just as natural seeds must literally split and die in the ground to transform from one form into something greater, our spiritual seeds require the same process. When we give, show kindness, or demonstrate mercy, these seeds only produce a harvest when we release control and let them "die" by trusting God completely. True seed death means surrendering the when, where, and how of our harvest to Jesus, the Lord of the harvest. We plant, we water through prayer, but only God gives the increase in His perfect timing.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the fourth episode of "The Mystery Of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches how to understand and cooperate with the divine law of sowing and reaping. This seemingly straightforward natural process contains deep spiritual mysteries applicable to every aspect of life. In Genesis 1, God establishes that everything contains a seed within itself, capable of reproducing after its own kind. All of life's provisions originate with seeds, making our choices profoundly consequential. Every action, word, and thought functions as a seed that will inevitably produce a corresponding harvest. Be intentional about what you plant in your life while trusting in God's perfect timing for the harvest, knowing that we will reap what we sow.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Everything starts with a seed. All of God's promises about you exist in a seed form, waiting for you to bring them to life. In the third episode of "The Mystery Of Seeds," Duane Sheriff reveals the spiritual principle of sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:7-9 reminds us that God is not mocked, and whatever we sow, we will reap. This immutable law applies to both our natural and spiritual lives. Consider your thoughts, words, and actions as seeds that will inevitably produce a harvest. If you sow good seeds which align with the Spirit, you will reap eternal life and blessings. The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In episode two of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explains that the law of seeds is an unchanging principle in God's kingdom. These divine mysteries, while hidden from those with evil intentions, are revealed to believers through the Holy Spirit. Spiritual laws, like the law of seeds, reflect natural laws in their constancy, reliability, and predictability. By understanding and aligning with these principles, believers can unlock blessings and experience spiritual growth. Every promise from God exists as a seed waiting to be planted through faith, prayer, and action. No matter what circumstances you face, God has already provided the seed for your breakthrough—you simply need the wisdom to recognize it, plant it, and patiently tend to its growth until harvest time arrives.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

God's kingdom holds deep spiritual truths revealed to those who seek Him with open hearts. In "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explores the powerful biblical principle of sowing and reaping, uncovering the spiritual mysteries hidden within farming parallels. In Matthew 13:10-11, we learn these truths are hidden from hardened hearts but revealed to those who love and seek God.Episode one unveils the various mysteries of seeds—how they are sown and reaped in different forms, the importance of good soil, and even reaping where one has not sown. Seeds represent potential and faith that must be planted and nurtured to produce spiritual and practical harvests. Discover how these seed principles can transform your spiritual journey.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

Discipline is an essential part of parenting, but if done incorrectly, it can wound rather than train. In Part Four of Building Strong Families, Duane Sheriff teaches from Ephesians 6 about the biblical command not to provoke our children to wrath. Every parent faces moments of resistance and frustration, yet God’s Word provides wisdom for disciplining with love instead of reacting in anger.By recognizing key attitudes like anger, inconsistency, neglect, and harshness, we can guard our children’s hearts and prevent bitterness from taking root. True love sets boundaries with patience, consistency, and grace—always aiming for restoration, not control. Parenting is not about authority alone but about reflecting the Father’s heart and preparing our children to live responsibly before Him. Through understanding, humility, and open communication, we can raise sons and daughters who are secure, respectful, and equipped to walk in God’s ways.
