The Worst Thing You Can Do With Your Life is conversation nine in the series on the Parables. All of us are given certain responsibilities and the key is not to compare, but use what we are given. Pastor Monty said these responsibilities have a certain amount of weight because of the capacity to be a portal to share the presence of God with others. This parable asks, did we make good use of what we were given? To hear more, listen to conversation nine, The Worst Thing You Can Do With Your Life.

Conversation 8: The Wheat and Tares, Let Them Grow Together

August 18, 2019 • Emily Ridout

In the Parable of the Wheat and Tares, an enemy plants weeds in a farmers field. When the workers ask if they should remove the weeds, the farmer replies by saying, "No, because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest." Pastor Emily invites us to take a look at the weeds growing among the harvest in our lives, examine what purpose they might be serving, carefully determine if they should be extracted and ask then imagine what the harvest might look like for you!

Conversation 7: Love In Action

August 11, 2019 • Pastor Dwight Smith

Conversation 7 Love in Action, is about the implications for us from the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Dwight said there is an “interdependence” that God placed in our hearts and we need Him and we need each other. The key though is our attitudes and biases that may get in the way of what He has intended for us and for others. How do you break from from this? Listen to Sunday conversation seven, Love in Action.
