Go! And Sow With Generous Hearts Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 19, 2025

For some, it’s golden fields ready to be gathered. For others, it’s full baskets of fruit and vegetables. Harvest is a time of joy, of ...read more

The Most Important Invitation

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 21, 2023

Jesus, in the Parable of the Wedding Feast, gives us what is for us the most important invitation we will ever receive, to come to the feast. The invitation is for Eternal Joy, yet many make excuses not to attend. Join us this week as we look at the most important invitation.

Today we have what I think is Jesus most complete and clear parable, and I hope to walk thru it and actually not surprise you at all. This ...read more
