    Contributed by Kyle Gray on Dec 7, 2012
     | 4,923 views

    This is NOT a breakdown on specific parables and meanings, it's a study into WHY Jesus used parables.

    Gifts Wrapped in Red Welcome Campuses as we kick off the Gifts Wrapped in Red series! The final road before we get to Christmas! Can you believe it? How many of you are bringing guests to the Christmas service? You should know before we even begin…RED is my favorite color! It catches the ...read more

    Living for the Lord-Make sure we are carefully following Him

    ONE MESSAGE YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO IGNORE Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23 Intro: Sometimes I will hear a TV or radio preacher make this startling claim, “You need to get a copy of this message! It may be the greatest single message you will ever hear! This is the one message that you cannot afford to ...read more

    Seed, Soil, Sower, Rain

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 27, 2014
     | 4,356 views

    We need to pay attention to the condition of our soil, but we also need to spend time daily preparing and sowing.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2014 Seed, Soil, Sower, Rain Today’s OT reading went by so fast that you might forget its importance. That’s not the lector’s fault: the Church gives us only two verses. Let’s listen to the Word of God in the longer version beginning four verses ...read more

    The parable of the Sower story with four responses by the hearers: Pay it no mind, A Passing Interest, Too Preoccupied, Perceptive and Productive.

    Most of the time in church, the focus is on the speaker and how well they are prepared to present the message. But today we have a parable about the HEARERS and how they receive the word of God. So listen up because it is all about YOU this morning. Hearing is an act of responsibility, so ...read more

    Just Keep On Sowing

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Jul 14, 2014
     | 6,023 views

    The sermon is based upon the idea that no matter what happens, no matter where, and no matter what the results are of seeds being sowed, just keep on sowing.

    Matthew 13:1-9 “Just Keep on Sowing” 1. The Parable of the Sower, Jesus identifies four types of ground upon which the sower's seeds fall: A. The seeds sown along the path (v. 4); on the path the seeds are exposed and carried off by hungry birds. B. Secondly the seed ...read more

     | 5,896 views

    In the parable the seed is sown everywhere without discrimination, representing responses from all people; but in the end, it is only strength through humility that prevails.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 13th July 2014 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Summary: In the parable the seed is sown everywhere without discrimination, representing responses from all people; but in ...read more

    The children of God that see and hear, hold visions in their hearts know of the angels' presence and know of the spiritual realm---what happens in the spirit and WAIT for the manifestation here on earth as we wait for the harvest of God.

    Angel Prayer by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (July 23, 2014) “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing not see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall ...read more

    The Sower: The Flower Approach To Life Well Lived

    Contributed by Dustin Bumgarner on Aug 13, 2014
     | 9,593 views

    Jesus told the Parable about the Sower (or Farmer, as I've written throughout). This sermon displays a unique approach to that parable, along with a special acronym of FLOWER. We must use the FLOWER method in our everyday walk with God.

    Intro: How many people here have gone to the local Farmer’s Market to get you some fresh produce? Imagine taking a bite out of a sweet, juicy watermelon. In order to bring that fresh watermelon to you, the farmer or grower would have to do some digging (pun intended) to find out the perfect ...read more

    First in a series of messages that examine Jesus' parables from the perspective of a minor or unsympathetic character.

    Several years ago I came across a book by J. Ellsworth Kalas titled Parables from the Back Side. The author’s introduction to the book begins with these words: Familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt, as the saying puts it, but it often breeds something potentially worse, the glazed ...read more

     | 7,667 views

    The question is, are we doing everything (having faith in Him and believing) we can to be good soil? You would think the answer to that would be a resounding yes! But the fact of the matter is, for far to many Christians the answer is no...

    Which One, are you? Illus. by Wanye Major A church just had a change of ministers and was to be served by their first woman pastor.

    We talk, sing, and pray using the language of the Kingdom . . . words like Lord, King, and sovereign. However, citizenship in a democracy keeps us from understanding the throne.

    Game of Thrones Pt. 2 - Seedy Introduction After 1 year we have finally come to the final battle in the attack on the 5 principalities that I identified for us. We have fought isolation, poverty, hopelessness and apathy. Now we square off against compartmentalism. Compartmentalism is pervasive ...read more

    Through Jesus Parables we will be given “knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven”. This knowledge is being revealed to those of you who are seekers of the deep spiritual truths of God. Some of us will understand but others won't. Why?

    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 messages ...read more

    Can we tell time? Can we recognize seasons? Can we tell when the winds of change are blowing? Our time is finite! When life knocks you down, get up with passion.

    WHEN? DO WE KNOW THE TIMES AND SEASONS?... WE CAN'T QUIT...
