Little Seed - Big Tree Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 19, 2007

Why did the farmer in this parable plant the mustard seed? Jesus doesn’t stress the harvest from this tree... only the fact that birds come and settle in its branches. Why?

OPEN: There’s a story about a student from MIT who spent an entire summer going to the Harvard football field every day wearing a black and white striped shirt walking up and down the field for ten or fifteen minutes throwing birdseed and blowing a whistle. Then he would walk off the field. At ...read more

To be a strong church we must include the "weeds" of society

Matt 13:24-43 – “Seeds, Weeds, and Growth” It is a pleasure to be here with you in person this morning. I hear you had to sit through a rather long audio sermon of mine a couple of weeks ago.

The Wheat And The Weeds Series

Contributed by Alan Mccann on Jan 18, 2007

It is difficult to tell wheat from weeds at times, but come harvest they will be separated to eternal destinies

The Parable of the Weeds Matthew 13.24-30; 36-43 This is an MP3/4 player. I bought it off Ebay. From a distance it looks like an IPod nano, but it is not a nano. It looks like a nano, has many of the same functions as a nano but it is not a nano. It is a very good copy. It is deliberately ...read more

When To Weed Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on May 8, 2007

the parable of the weeds teaches us: don’t worry, God will sort it out. Evil can grow for awhile, but it will not prevail. Stand strong, be faithful, and we will see the Kingdom of God.

8. The Parable Of The Weeds Series

Contributed by Don Jaques on May 29, 2007

Give up your dreams of a “pure church”. The reality is there will always be a mixture of true followers and hypocrites. Make sure you’re ready for the judgment day and get on with the work of being fruitful!

INTRO: I’ve got a confession to make. I love Roundup. I love the feeling of just going around, spraying a little bit of poison and then in a few days seeing those weeds shrivel up and die! It’s so much more fun than actually pulling the weeds up! But, the problem with Roundup is it can be ...read more

The Parable Of The Wheat And The Tares Series

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jun 23, 2007

We are to be loving, kind and accepting of the people God places in our lives, even though we are to be discerning and unaccepting of their sinful choices. Yet, even in this, we are to do so in love. For we do not know where that person stands with God or

The Parables Of The Mustard Seed And The Leaven Series

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jun 24, 2007

Learning all of this stuff is just a bunch of stuff if it doesn’t do something to us, change something about us and enrich those around us. If we do not bear the kind of fruit that makes people more aware of Jesus Christ just because we’re around, then a
