This is a sermon which compares the game of golf to the game of life.

The latter portion of my text reads, "....and without a parable spake He not unto them." Today I will use a parable or a comparison to illustrate the game of life. It is obvious that the Apostle Paul was knowledgeable of the sporting events of his day. On numerous occasions he used athletics to ...read more

Why Did Jesus Teach In Parables?

Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 24, 2005

based on 8 ratings

By teaching in parables, Jesus simultaneously revealed truths to his disciples, and concealed truth about himself from those whose hardened hearts had already rejected it.

Isaiah 6:1-10, Romans 11:1-11, Matt. 13:1-3, 10-16 Why Parables? In preparation for todayâ€™s homily, I went to Amazon on the internet and punched up all the titles they had with the word â€œparableâ€ in them. I got about a thousand hits. Next, I requested a listing of all the titles they had ...read more

The Parable Of The Sower, The Seed And The Soils

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 28, 2005

based on 127 ratings

| 68,292 views

Jesus explains the conditions of entry into God’s Kingdom - He is the Sower, the Seed is His Word and men and women are the Soil, either "Bad-Soil" - along the Path: responding NO; on the Rock: YES & NO; among Thorns: YES BUT; or "Good-Soil" : YES!

The first recorded parable of Jesus is “The Parable of the Sower” (Matthew 13:1-23) but it’s equally the story of the seed and the soils. Earlier that day He’d had a confrontation with the Pharisees and religious lawyers about His claim to be the Son of Man and the great gulf that separated them ...read more

Cultivating Good Soil

In the parable of the sower: 1. The seed falls onto every type of soil without discrimination. 2. The different soils represent people’s different responses. 3. In the end there is a great harvest.

Picture the scene in your mind. Jesus is teaching from a boat on the shore of the Lake of Galilee. There is a breeze blowing as he nods in the direction of a farmer in the distance. He is sowing seed in his field. As they watched the farmer at work, Jesus used the scene to teach a lesson about ...read more

"Behold, the sower went out to sow." Missing from this parable are the words, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to.”

"Behold, the sower went out to sow."

The reason why they are omitted is not a mystery. The kingdom of heaven is an expression ...read more

“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
