     | 86,778 views

    In the parable of the sower: 1. The seed falls onto every type of soil without discrimination. 2. The different soils represent people’s different responses. 3. In the end there is a great harvest.

    Picture the scene in your mind. Jesus is teaching from a boat on the shore of the Lake of Galilee. There is a breeze blowing as he nods in the direction of a farmer in the distance. He is sowing seed in his field. As they watched the farmer at work, Jesus used the scene to teach a lesson about ...read more

    You Make Pizza, One Layer At A Time

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Jan 28, 2009
     | 5,145 views

    Our spiritual life must grow as we grow in the Lord. You don’t start with a finished pizza, you must continue to add each layer until you put it in the oven.

I suppose that the only real connection we have with pizza and the church is that pizza came from Italy and Paul’s preaching took him to Italy. That is a pretty far stretch, or is it? Ancient Greeks ate flat, baked bread with ...read more

    Intro. Sometimes as we get into the middle of the Summer, we get distracted. We lose sight of our true purpose, our Goal. We are to be consumed with Christ! Christ and His ways are the goal.
