Sermon:Four Kinds of Soil
Pastor breaks further breaks down the parable of the sower
and the seed. God’s word doesn’t discriminate where it falls. Where you are in
your life’s journey is a metaphor for where the seed falls when you encounter
it. Some seed will fall to the wayside and be devoured birds. Some see will
fall on the stony place where there isn’t much soil and will fail to grow. Some
seed will fall among the thorns and will be suffocated by the thicket. But good
work is to identify the seeds when they do fall and to ensure the seed is sowed
into good ground, nurtured and cared for. The seed and the maintenance of the ground
allows us to be able to expect abundance when we reap.
Wonderful stuff.

Sermon: Beware The Little Foxes
Pastor D preaches on how we must be wary to mind the little things
in our lives. Like little foxes, there are things that appear to be harmless;
attractive even. And as we humor them, accept them, entertain them, and ignore their
existence, they may very likely be working against us the whole time!
Beware the little foxes in our lives. Our friendships, technology,
social media, what we watch on TV, what we eat, money … Take heed to capture, contain
and eliminate the little foxes, as they will spoil the vines where our tender grapes
reside!
Amen.

Song of Solomon 2
Sermon: Beware The Little Foxes
Sermon: Lord show me, Me.
Pastor teaches about the consequence of our condemnation. Jesus admonishes that the judgment we apply to others is surely to be placed upon us. As believers, we ought to watch how we think and speak about others. True introspection should reveal to us that we are incompetent to evaluate someone else’s situation and/life. Additionally, if we are honest with ourselves, we might find that we are struggling with the reflection of our own circumstances – projecting it on others. Indeed, when we are judgmental we miss our opportunity to be a blessing to others and we give the enemy exactly what he wants.
When we judge, we are looking outward; but God wants us to be looking inward, thus we ought to be praying consistently: Lord, show me, me.
Powerful, reflective teaching, Amen.
Scripture: Matthew 7:1-5
