     | 12,364 views

    A comparison of two farmers - why one is sad, and one is carefree.

    A Sower Went Out To Sow His Seed I would like to compare two farmers, or sowers of seed, this morning. They are very different in their outlook. First let’s look at the one in our gospel lesson, Luke 8:4-15. This man goes out to sow his seed, but he is not a very careful sower, is he? Some of ...read more

    As followers of Jesus we are to be committed to excellence in every sense of the word.

    Commitment To Excellence Luke 8:4-15 Commitment is key. No matter what it is that we are talking about there is no greater determining factor than our commitment.

    There is a link betweenChrist’s Temptation and the Parable of the The Sower.

    There is a link between the Parable of the The Sower and Christ’s Temptation. A. Things of Need 1. In Christ’s temptation there is need for bread (Luke 4:3-4). While He was hungry (vs. 2), He did not fall for Satan’s ploy. 2. In the Parable of the The Sower there is need for a path (Luke 8:5, ...read more

    The abundant Christian life is a choice that starts with how we listen and respond to the Word of God.

    Intro: There once was a not so bright fellow who saw an advertisement for a cruise. The sign in the travel agency window read “Cruise -- $100 Cash.” I’ve got a hundred dollars, he thought. And I’d like to go on a cruise. So he entered the door and announced his desires. The fellow at the desk ...read more

    God brings change to our world slowly, one person at a time, but with dynamic results.

    I guess the parable of the sower is a familiar one to most of us. It’s one of those stories that have been told and retold countless times. So the danger is that when we hear it again we can think we already understand everything that there is to learn from it. Yet God’s word is living and active, ...read more

    There is good physical illustration in here that catches the attention of young and old alike.

    OPEN:A Georgia farmer, ragged and barefooted, was standing on the steps of his tumbledown shack. A stranger stopped for a drink of water and just to pass the time of day he asked: "How is your cotton coming along?" he asked. "Ain’t got none," replied the farmer. "Did you plant any?" ...read more

     | 8,321 views

    In the parable of the sower and the seeds, Jesus identifies three categories of obstacles to maturity.

    The Bible uses a lot of agricultural metaphors. The prophet Isaiah describes Judah as a vineyard planted on a fertile hillside. “He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop ...read more

    Redefining The Family Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 24, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,102 views

    What is God’s Family and how do you join it? Jesus redefines family, contrasts it with our earthly family and tells us how to join and what it’s like in his family.

    The idea of family is always morphing in our society. Just in the past fifty years we’ve gone from June Cleaver to Uma Thurman. In the 1950’s the woman wore pearls and waited in high heels for her man to come home so she could greet him with a martini, a paper and dinner on the table. Today in ...read more

    to hear with ears that really hear, to prepare our “soil” for the seed of God’s Word

    The Parable of the sower, is a very familiar portion of scripture. It can be very tempting to think to yourself, "I’ve heard this story, hundreds of times before, and there is nothing new here for me." Because we think that we know this story so well, we can close our ears to what the Lord wants to ...read more

    If we want our lives to be fruitful for the Kingdom, we must cultivate the “soil” of our lives and eliminate impurities.

    INTRO: This week Ann and the kids did some planting. We have a little plot in our backyard that we’ve designated for the kids’ garden. Last year we planted a few things – including a short lived goldfish pond, in that area, and on one of the sunny afternoons Ann took them out there and put some ...read more

    What kind of tree are you? We all need to become good, full, filled, nourishing trees for Christ. But good soil is required so we can all reach our potential of bearing good fruit.

    Good Soil, Good Tree; Good Fruit Luke 8:5-18 Amplified Bible Everything God made on this earth has an ear to hear. How do I know that? We can find examples of it throughout the Word.

    Here is one for the teachers in the crowd today! It was at the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils. The florists son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Some flowers." "That’s ...read more
