    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.

    In this parable Jesus is comparing the younger son to the tax collectors and sinners who came to Jesus. The elder son represented the Pharisees and religious rulers who continually found fault with the teachings of Jesus.

    A Parable of Two Sons Luke 15:1-2, 11-32 “Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisaical teachers of religious law complain that Jesus was associating with such despicable people – even eating with them.” Luke 15:1-2 The Pharisees and ...read more

    A wedding ceremony I gave when I married my daughter and her fiance. I used the blending of sand to represent the blending of two lives which blend into one marriage.

    Dan and Kimberly, you have come together today to give thanks for, and to participate in, God’s wonderful gift of marriage. Marriage was meant to endure all things, and is never to be taken for granted, but to be held in high esteem at all times. EPHESIANS 5:22, tells the woman to submit unto ...read more
