    When it comes to yielding "fruits" for the Lord, not to settle for good or better output but to give the very best to Him, who gave His all for us!!!

    Good, Better And The Best Whenever, we have read the parable of the ‘Sower & the Seed’, I am sure we had always patted ourselves on the back saying that ‘I am a GOOD soil’ never giving thought to the fact that the good Lord wants His children to be ‘the BEST ...read more

  • The Seed Of God's Word

    based on 11 ratings
     | 17,236 views

    The key to a fruitful and abundant life is with our response to the Word. The way we receive the Word is critical to having a fruitful and blessed life. The seed is productive only if the soil is receptive. The Word is good seed; are you the good soil?

    This is a parable. Jesus explains: “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man” (Mt 13:37) • The field is the world, people of the world (13:38). • And the seed is the Word of God. The sower throws seed onto the ground. God is speaking to the world. • The seed falls onto the ground without ...read more

    God has given us so much! This sermon challenges us to take action in our world as a sign of God’s kingdom breaking in, and as a response of thankfulness to God.

    When I look at the wonderful variety of fruit and vegetables that we can grow, I find myself saying, “Thank you God!” A few years ago in Portugal I remember looking out to sea and being amazed at the sight of the sun setting over the ocean and saying, “Thank you God”; and I remember the first time ...read more

    Sermon based on the high ideals of church but the realities are so often different.

    Preaching from the lectionary as I do has its limitations. After all, the there are various forms of lections, RC, Episcopalian but I have always used the Reformed Lectionary. It has its limitations and quite often we re-hash the old things of the past, years a, b and c come around so often that ...read more

     | 7,817 views

    Are you rootless? Those in this category get excited for a while when they hear the word. But, when it gets tough, they aren’t...because they haven’t developed the capacity to hang in there by holding onto at least what they know for now.
