Which type of soil is your faith planted in? For many I am afraid that they are not planted in the good soil.

“Parable of the Sower” Introduction It seems odd to me that all Christians respond differently to God’s Word.

4th in series of 5. Two different views of this woman (John 8:1-11) The crowd saw her as damaged and worthless. Jesus saw her as damaged and valuable.

“Honor your father and mother” is one of the Ten Commandments. It seems a bit strange to me when you look at it set along side the other commandments. Why is this so important? Why, because parents have been given such a high and worthy charge – a living soul has been placed into their care. ...read more
