As every gardener or farmer knows, dirt matters! Without good soil, seeds cannot flourish. As we ponder the parable of the sower, this parable invites us to reflect on a number of kingdom questions.

This Sunday is Communion Sunday and we are starting a new sermon series entitled Snapshots of the Kingdom. It is about the kingdom parables of Jesus. This week's parable gives us a picture of the world's kingdoms. There are actually two orders of reality side-by-side, weeds and wheat. Each is vying for our attention.

Do you lack self-control? Tim Keller gives a great definition of the fruit of self-control: "Self-control is the ability the Holy Spirit gives you to choose the important thing over the urgent thing." The urgent thing is gratifying your sinful nature. Worldly passions. Idolatry. The important thing or the One Thing is loving God and loving your neighbor.

We live in a world marked by brokenness: the level of suffering we experience is impossible to comprehend and difficult to come to terms with. As a result, our grief can leave us feeling hopeless, alone, and lost. Thankfully, as shown through the character of God and two remarkable women in the book of Ruth, God is in the mission of redeeming our pain by writing it into the story of salvation. We are not alone in our suffering, for we have the ultimate companion and healer: Jesus himself. Guest speaker: Chloé DePledge Thanks for joining us for Kerman Covenant Church at Home!

How do we grow faithfulness and gentleness without letting one virtue override the other? In the list of spiritual fruit in Galatians 5:22-23 “faithfulness” and “meekness” are listed next to each other. Faithfulness is steadfastness; it has to do with the keeping of promises, and the courageous declaration of truth. Meekness or Gentleness means mildness and generosity in how you relate to others.

Goodness is magnetic. Out of God’s goodness flows His redemption. All the goodness we possess in our lives and our church comes from Him. That's why goodness is one of the fruits of the Spirit.

Jesus grew in wisdom the same way we are to grow in wisdom. We see that wisdom doesn’t grow by itself, it grows in community ... challenging communities, humble communities, and learning communities.

The scandal of Christmas is not the virgin birth but instead, God’s redemptive work that defies the Herods of this world – not just kings, dictators, and presidents, but anyone who clings to power and privilege at the expense of love.
