But I’d be more than happy to give you a deal on something else. Could you use African violets instead?" Replied the ...read more

One of the important things for us to understand is that fields in biblical times were not like our fields today which have been prepared by modern ...read more

    Why wouldn’t God be more selective in what soil He allows His seed to be planted? And why did Jesus tell only this parable (but not the explanation of the parable) to this crowds?

    A man walked into a flower shop and asked for some potted red geraniums. "I’m sorry," said the clerk in flower shop, "we are completely sold out of all of our potted geraniums. But I’d be more than happy to give you a deal on something else. Could you use African violets instead?" ...read more

    The kingdom begins with us, what will we choose to do with the Good News about the kingdom, which soil will we choose to be?

    What comes to your mind when I say the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of God (since they are used interchangeably in the gospels)? [Allow the congregation to give their input].

    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. It is weird to me that we can all come to church and hear the same sermon and even sit in the same pew, but some take something away from it and others don’t. We all respond differently ...read more
