New & Improved Or Tired & Old Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 25, 2005

Sometimes the new and improved isn’t - and we become leary. When God came up with a new and improved way to approach Him, some thought the new way was uncomfortable so they wanted to go back.

She knows that when we are finished exercising on Saturday morning that it’s time for her walk. And at a certain time in the evening - she ...read more

Most of the time we think of spiritual giants just itching to do God’s work. Moses was actually very reluctant to answer God’s call. This gives us ordinary folks hope. God takes us - whatever we have in our hand - and uses it for His glory.

What are you like when God calls you? Do you actively listen for His voice then jump at the chance to obey? Or are you just kind of going along, doing your job, minding your own business and when God calls you might reluctantly go along if He twists your arm enough? You might think that a ...read more

The Parable Of The Sower, The Seed And The Soils

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 28, 2005

The first recorded parable of Jesus is “The Parable of the Sower” (Matthew 13:1-23) but it’s equally the story of the seed and the soils.
