    Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A-- 15th Sunday, Year A --The Sower

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2020
     | 2,654 views

    It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.

    “To throw alongside” a story with cryptic meaning is called a parable in Greek. In Zen Buddhism, a parable is like a “koan,” which is a spiritual inquiry using perplexing language intended to rouse a student’s innate wisdom-mind to apply it to their own life. As Rabbi Ibn Ezra said of parables, ...read more

    No Hill For A Stepper

    Problems are always upon us and getting over the little humps is easy. Getting over the larger ones simply means you grow to be bigger than that hill… so-as to just step right over it, rather than struggle to climb it.

    Too often, we look on that passage “God never gives you more than you can handle” as though He is putting you through some awful test, or that He is “easing up on the throttle” regarding just how much pressure He is causing you to endure. This writing is to help us see this passage from His ...read more

    1. If we are going to live for God’s Kingdom, it is essential that we learn a new way of thinking. 13:11. 2. Truths regarding God’s Kingdom will only be learned by people who have a desire to know them. 10-11. 3. The more you are willing to learn the truths of God’s Kingdom, the more God will ...read more

    What Is A Parable? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Mar 8, 2020
     | 3,377 views

    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

    Why is it so important to understand the Parable of the Sower?

    1. Jesus indicates that if you do not understand the parable of the sower, you will not have the foundation upon which to build your understanding of other parables. 2. The parable of the sower contains four basic elements that are essential to understanding the kingdom of God: A. Sowing – ...read more

    The parable of the four soils applied beyond spiritual rebirth to spiritual growth & life change. (This message is from Luke 8, but could be adapted to the version of the parable in Matthew 13 or Mark 4.)

    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

    What kind of messages are we sending from the church to the world? Saul sent some very confusing perspectives. Saul lost his spear, cruise of water and his skirt. (Power, essentials, covering) The perspective of potential was lost. The Yellow Brick Road.

    Through Jesus Parables we will be given “knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven” not the kingdom of this earth. The knowledge that will be imparted to us will come from the Lamb of God Himself.

    Eyes, Ears and Heart Matthew 13:1-23 NIV Last year our Sunday messages went through a series of topics on a closer walk with God that taught us how to be better disciples of Jesus. You may or may not have realized it but for 30 weeks that is what I spoke about. It was my prayer that these ...read more

    Teaches about the Parable of the Sower where Jesus tells His disciples about how the Word of God will be received & what it will produce

    How Rich is Your Soil? In several instances Jesus gave lessons by telling stories called “parables” because they required some thought to fully understand. The lessons were intended for the people who were truly wanting to know more of the Kingdom of God. He wasn't interested in those who came ...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
