    The parable of the Seed and the Sower is full of spiritual insight for us as we see the world as a place where the Lord wishes to plant seeds and to harvest souls. In this first part we look mostly at the Scripture between the parable and the explanation

    Matthew 13:1-23 NIV Parable - “A short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach some truth, religious principle, or moral lesson.” What might be an example of a simple, non-Biblical story that could be considered a parable? The Tortoise and the Hare (briefly describe) The ...read more

    The parable of the seed and the Sower is a snapshot of any society and most likely any congregation. How a person responds to the Word of God indicates what type of soil they are. The seed is perfect. The Sower is generous. What type of soil are you?

    Please take your Bibles and turn to Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 NIV When I was a young teenager I actually did some broadcast sowing of seed. We were renting a field which was only a couple of acres and my Dad had plowed and dragged the field but we did not have a broadcast planter so we filled up ...read more

    When Jesus comes into our life, everything changes, mostly in the form of disaster; however we are given the ability to stand, and in doing so we are transformed into the glory God that wants from us. Yes it is painful, but we are victorious.

    This sermon was delivered to the congregation in St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 10th July 2011: by Gordon McCulloch (A Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries).

    Dangerous Grounds

    The soil, of course, represents the human heart, so the word of God falls on four different types of hearts. This parable is about salvation and three out of four of the soils represent people who are not genuinely saved.

    Opening illustration: Growing up as a teenager, my dad would take me to watch the plowing of the field and planting of wheat and sunflower. The tractor would plow deep into the hard soil of central India usually slicing the big snakes hibernating below the earth. Their mangled bodies were brought ...read more

    When it comes to yielding "fruits" for the Lord, not to settle for good or better output but to give the very best to Him, who gave His all for us!!!

    Good, Better And The Best Whenever, we have read the parable of the ‘Sower & the Seed’, I am sure we had always patted ourselves on the back saying that ‘I am a GOOD soil’ never giving thought to the fact that the good Lord wants His children to be ‘the BEST ...read more

    Trust The Seed

    The parable of the sower, or more appropriately the Seed, is a parable about truth and what happens when truth is rejected. Ultimately, it's a parable of encouragement.

    We’re going to be in Mark 4 this morning. Most historians agree that the book of Mark, in a sense, is Simon Peter’s autobiography. Mark wrote his epistles based on his conversations with Peter. So, when you read Mark look at how choppy it is. It’s not like the book of Luke which sacrifices few ...read more

    On the day of Pentecost, something incredible happened that had never happened before – the Holy Spirit came to reveal the sacred secret of God held hidden for all of eternity past.

    “Surely you have heard about the administration of God's grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly” (Eph 3:2,3 NIV). There are two Greek words used in Scripture for the word “secret.” They are “Kruptos” and ...read more

    To be able to understand the parables of the kingdom, we must first know what is a parable?

    1. The word “parable” comes from the Greek word “paraballo”, which means “to throw alongside” and “to reach a place.” 2. The dictionary definition, “an allegorical representation of something from real life, from which a moral is drawn for instruction,” does not quite explain the purpose of Jesus’ ...read more

    Saint John Paul II remarked that there are great psychological insights in the comparisons of the soils.
