5) No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
6) but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7) Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Luke 10:18-19

16) These in like manner are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17) They have no root in themselves, but endure for a while, then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18) Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
19) and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
20) These are those who were sown on the good ground: such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."

This is a machine transcript of the sermon. It won't be completely accurate of what's said in the sermon.
I'm going to attempt something that I don't think I've ever done in the timeline is that that the related today, so I'll hopefully be able to be able to present it in such a way that's somewhat easy to follow and whenever we think of creation with a compound that God has created us and and how that he has imparted things into our life, we have to do it within the framework of what we spoke about in Sunday school was truth and what not. So, truth and love are the basis of what God has done in our life. Now we return to Genesis, the makeup of man, every that's that's gotten the title of my sermon, then the makeup of man also that they got the makeup that so and Genesis chapter two verses five, six and seven. That's what we're going to start and I have probably six or seven references in different books of the Bible that I'm going to kind of pullout here and put together, but I wanted it in such a way that gives us an overall picture of what's, what's going on in in in us and let us what's going on for us. I think Genesis chapter two. Beginning in verse five, at the time. Made earth and heaven before any grasses and shrubs that sprouted from the ground, Godhead, and yet sent rain on the earth, nor was there anyone around to work the ground the whole earth was watered by underground springs, God formed man out of the dirt from the ground and blew it. Give his nostrils the breath of life and the man the man came alive a living soul. Now I was reading on some of the aspects of in the Internet about Asian versus evolution and all that. And of course there being the people who are against the idea of creation say that the makeup isn't right that and in the idea is that then have the right dirt. So I went out and I bought organic dirt. So what we are going to do today is we're going to make man. I may need some help making management for making woman, but that how we got dirt that's organic to attain so I lost is a difference between regular dirt organic. But we got organic dark now, cleaning this up afterwards so that if you do so if you were wondering. But anyhow, we got dirt. There is the hero wonder why this all got started, and why it's so important that dart to come life and life become friends with God, and friends with God, live forever now and whenever we start thinking about this is not playing together while it's logistically some dirt or just start what happens in this whole process that makes us so special and how is it that this specialty that God has created. How is it that we have such an important function and why is it that there are so many choices for us to do. While many start with this. It says in the Bible before in the beginning God created heaven veneer know what it means I have really the states. One of them. One of the great tax table text, whatever says that before the beginning began the was God. I'll always love that before the beginning began, there was God. What that means is before there was creation creation was the beginning of time. So before time began, there was God. So, God was not always wise always will be. So God and before time began, there was God, now and this place before time began. He created angels and angels were created I serve as being, and they serve God. Worship God, and on they were part of the heavenly host is someone but there was one Lucifer and was a firm was the most important, most powerful angel of heaven it was next to God. He was the one who says, and one one two one five translation has it he was alike. There so and Jesus is the light of your solids like most of her hat, one of the heart of the highest position in all of heaven now, what happened was is you read through all the different sects and so on. You find it listed for became jealous and became envious. It became wanting worship and so Lucifer decided to later rebellion against God and he gave rounded up one third of the angels of heaven, and led a rebellion against God as if he could overthrow God, and because he didn't add John God kicked about the amount of heaven we now call those Lucifer, Satan and the fallen Angels, Demons, but the idea is that what was what was so important about this fall. What was so important about this fall that hasn't has an impact upon our lives. If you think about what are the characteristics and I don't like to spend a lot of time on that one the characteristics of evil. The characteristics of people are the three basic ones still kill and destroy all the characteristics of evil artists Gail at the kilo to destroy and there are three ways that it is influenced in our lives, the lust of the eyes a lot, the flesh and the pride of life looks good, feels good to make me more than what I have so whenever we think of evil coming into our life. It comes in the wood comes with the purpose of stealing, killing and destroying or to make me look good and make me feel good as anything more than what I have every temptation everything that will destroy this piece of dirt. Don't everything that would destroy houses wrapped up in one of those categories, stealing, killing and destroying. So why is this so important, so when God then created we go into the time we have the creation God made man in his image says that God formed man out of the dirt on the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a liable living soul. The breath of life. So God took this dirt formed it into a man, but the difference is now able to talk about creation of all the animals got spoken into existence. Now that into those of you who may young may be influenced or think about evolution and things. Evolution is based upon random choice random acts random acts of things coming into existence of things hitting each other and coming together that all of the planets and all the solstice losing all the stars and everything came together in those random acts. Plus you have the random acts of sales and things coming together to form some type of luck in Lima, which then from all living these came from those thousands on in the scum of the pond and then we got the right natural. Some people are the scum of the earth within income, they demonstrated that naturally I so we have it in any research there is always looking for design. There is always the intelligent design in any science. It's always intelligent design looking for. If you go to the genogram of another just like this on the last couple of years. The genogram of the human of a person. It is an intelligent design, then you know it. That is impossible for the random acts of things bouncing around and coming together to solve what happens is God created us and create us from the dust of the earth. Now they need critics say while the men. The makeup of a man is not like the dust of the earth, while the idea is that everything that is in hospice found in the in ear, meaning that there is oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, chlorine, chlorine, chlorine sodium, magnesium, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc iodine selenium and Flora floor. I walked the floor. Whatever flooring. So all those things make us up so we are made from those elements are in the air so whenever we come to this place, and an Oswego to live chapter ten verse eighteen, Jesus said, I know I saw Satan fall is the bolt of lightning out of the sky. See what I'm giving you so. When Lucifer fell it was he was kicked out, it was kicked out of the heavens, and then the Lord God took the man and put them in the garden of Eden to work events take care of it. This is in Genesis chapter two verse fifteen the Lord God commanded the man you are afraid to get a tree in the garden but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you leave it you will surely die. So man is created, but in the guy. I now have three back surgeries that we often don't think of it back centuries in regard is a tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, why wasn't it a temptation, Jesus Gardens. I had to lie to vitamin E not to eat of the tree of life trim life that we were created to live forever, but e-mails intent is to destroy what God has created and when God says don't do something, he says that in the context I've got a higher purpose. God says to you, I am a higher purpose for your life than what evil and let the lust of the eyes, lest the flesh you try to live through the usage I have about. I'm a greater purpose for your life and what they make you look good and feel good. I'm done making more than what you walk because the intent of evil is to destroy and to take the life, not the dirt. The life that is in the person enables intent is to make that life disappear in half with eternal separation from God. God 's intent is for us to live forever with him and so he gave us a choice which means that we get the chance. We choose what type of life are going to live, which shows what type of perspective are going to have to wait choose each of me are here you Lamar where you are because of the choices you've made your well-being at the end of your life where you are based on the choices you make, you make wrong choices we make. We make wrong choices and with bottle throw above wrong choices. Prisons are full of people that wish they'd made different choices people 's lives been destroyed because of the choices they make. Now, it will comes along and says temptation says what God really said that God really mean that you really think you need to do that. You really think you give yourself by not doing certain things that that can make a difference in your life estate. That's the same temptation came to Adam and Eve. They looked at. The fruit up whatever the tree is. I say was that the Mellon 's dozen Mellon shrink because as a offered Adam, the melanin. It was a honeydew melon and then the media never sent, but will jump honeydew melon. We do this undo that. I know back to the dirt area so longtime Zimbabwe is because we always use illustrator Apple applicant was safe with it, and Apple knows on what the Spirit is present, but the temptation lies to disobey the commandment of God, and disobeyed the command in August of the commandment of God is that God has a purpose God had a purpose for Adam and Eve, not needing an effort because not, this is Ms. Norton and the creation was not about them. It was about God to the creation and replace the we live, isn't about us. It about the one God wants to do in our life. God has a purpose for our life, our sins dry us down. God wants to free us, forgive us liberate us set us free, and any unwanted guild work and I like the change in light. So what is the temptation, the temptation is look at the looks good. The Apple feels good. It's making more than what I had you will be like God think about temptations thing about your fresh thing about your friend people you associate with. Do they want you to do things you don't feel comfortable with doing what you do things that make your makes your heart hurt. When you do them, that God saying don't do think that God telling us don't do it, tell him that you are not allowed that in that group. You know the love and accenting the night because you are on different origin, while their dirt under. But what's inside of me was life, the life of God in the life of God makes a difference in you and how you think and how you respond and how you live because you have a heavenly father that want to do good in your life and take you and to let you land your life out. God leads his people into heaven, the devil addicts than in the hell addictions things that they can't they get beaten. They become addicted to that event that you know this like they have no choice and the addictions drive them Barb told them drive them into away from God but God always gives us the ability to choose. So, in the garden. They had a choice. Don't eat on the tree. The canal is obsolete and was glad and that God leading man, no videos. This place, God holds this place and that there is a greater purpose for what you are and who you are. Then, just not eating of the tree. So God created us to walk with us in the great thing about the garden was the great thing about done so that digital back. The great thing about the garden was God came down the cool of the day to walk with me the idea of creation was that God wants to walk with you. God wants to be your friend. God wants to inspire you, encourage you give purpose to you and your again, our failures are about letting go of them, Jan God can turn them around things like that, regardless of your work in us. So God is doing something with the walk with us back to Luke, chapter ten beginning at Jesus said that I thought they can follow the bolt of lightning out of the sky feat. See what I given you safe passage. Now, when God walks with us is telling his disciples. Here is finding the individuals that he speaking to hear the fastest walk on snakes and scorpions are protected from every assault of the enemy who is the enemy of our soul. This guy over here. His desire enables desire is to stop you from being what God wants you the better it will doesn't know everything that we have to respect people because he will pretty powerful. Even given Michael the Archangel said the Lord rebuke you Satan. I never once we were out when Bible college and we walked in on Jesus. Maybe some purpose before, but tough. Their Bible college and we would always go down the list in the Providence and ignite it out Saturday night or Friday. Saturday night and generally there was no one in town, but really people who were ill pray to Donna ours and we would talk to them about God, and give the materials and in medicine, but we would park our car and one spot walk on the street in the resist home reader who is always in the window beckoning us to command command commencing online in Kaman in the region. Follow us that so one night a friend says let's go in. So we went in and she says she may shop to grab our hand. Simply tell your future and we took out a Bible light in her hand and said, let us tell you your future. The lady screen was likely in part her with a hot iron. She screamed and says I don't want your spirit and here. I don't want your spirit in here. I shall relate here. Get your spirit out of here as she ran to the back. She ran out of the room and the mother. The all and all related amounts as well. Please help. We felt we don't want you disrupting our spirits to see there is a contention there is conflict in our life over good and evil, and we will always have this because people doesn't give up on trying to get you and God never gives up on you. That's why there are sometimes we have to make when we make choices. The great thing in my money public. This is style. Every time we think of what God wants to do God 's word is like planting seeds in our life is unique how that the Scripture talks about how the God is planting God has a purpose for the soil. God has anyone's deployment in our life as he planted plants love you so alone. You reap what you plan forgiveness, your great forgiveness you plan join you, Rachel. You want to be friends with somebody be friends, is if you want things in the Scriptures talk about how that God is at work. What's he doing the life that is given to this piece of dirt. The life is his breath. If the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you he will quicken your mortal body long after this body has gone back to dirt the spirit and also live in God 's spiritual click event and remotely live forever. We are alive inclines. Jesus said, because I live, you shall live also. So the life if possible, never die. Will life in us will never die. Do we. Are we tempted sure Jesus was tempted with. It were better than him were going to be tempted and Linda. Okay to Jesus was the last of eyes. Plus, the flash and pride of life and making the guys that make you feel good, as though making more than what you are after your pressure. So we know why no one can put a hand on you. This is talking about a little chapter ten verse eighteen to twenty pesos. The greatest triumph, the greatest triumph is not your authority over evil but God 's authority over you, and presents with you, and what we can do. It's what God is doing in us. It's what God is doing in us is changing me is changing my life is giving me a different perspective. He's given me a different approach to my life. Why, because I have a divine purpose God has a place for me in this life and in his voice run value places the eyelids. God has a way of working in us is not what you do for God, but what God does for you that the agenda for rejoicing God 's work in my life. So we find that when a lot of the theory to our life. God is at work. He's a work in me now to go out in March after four we did this last week, the farmer was he due with the formative legitimacy. It lasted. He plants the word solo and ending in the Scripture we have here, the former place of work Sunday pro-life seed that falls on hardened soil, which is the route what happens. The decedent on the road. It's plucked up one of the suit on the gravel while they respond with enthusiasm, but their shallow soil, and what happens whenever we got shallow soil dies out quickly, while the third the third one is this even attack upon the wage represents those who hear the kingdom there overwhelmed by worries that you can many other things growing in their lives and the word of God, this guy gets choked out, but the fourth one is the for represent those who hear the word embrace it and I produce a harvest beyond their wildest dreams. Now if I took one kernel of corn, put it in here and a group what when I get back on the years and I know I'm here for years. You get on the stock ways to sometimes one somebody sometimes to how many kernels of grain on each year on, take a guess, I'd examined some of you have a hundred on one ear and hundred on the second year, Holy Cross, you have two hundred. What did I plan one. I planted one kernel I got two hundred back was the Bible say the city planted in the good Earth represents those you hear the word embrace it, and produce a harvest beyond their wildest dreams. What is God planting in our lives. Usually he's preparing the soil hoplite for giving us is preparing the soil by telling us about his grace, his mercy he gives to us what we don't deserve. He gives us his love, his mercy spoke about this in Sunday school. His mercy is what I deserve. He doesn't give me at all. I do bad he doesn't punish me for that badness. He looks beyond my falsities my needs. That's mercy, grace is he loves me even though refined and knew him. He loved me grace and mercy, grace and mercy break up the soil, but the nutrients in the nutrients is our life the seed is the word of God. And when God is telling us about love and forgiveness. Those receipts growing in our life. What's the benefit of forgiveness allows us to go forward in life. The talking a lot about this, that that which offends us only weakens us. And whenever I'm offended. I back away from forgiveness allows me to work through things to move through them in the long go beyond them. So when I forget people I liked all of the hurt and I move on hatred, anger and bitterness caused me to build walls to keep me from going in a direction so the principles of God are saying if you want to see growth seen in your life. Forget if you want to grow a harvest in your life, love, what are the fruits of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, meekness, kindness and long-suffering stars of the seeds of God. They brawl in our life and other people harbors to make my life better make their life better. James three eighteen male wisdom God 's wisdom begins with a holy life, and characterized by getting along with others is gentle and reasonable overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and called the next, or to face the state not to face. I'm the same person, whether I'm at home, whether I'm with my friends whether I'm at work I'm the same person you see the character of the character of God is that we're not changing to be different with each person we are being ourselves with God because God is walking with me and I want to be one with him and he is one with me and I'm not being different because I'm with you character go on it says and you can will healthy, robust community church that lives right with God, and enjoys its resolve. Only if you do hard work of getting along hard-working getting along with each other treating each other with dignity and honor, and finally first Corinthians fifteen. This image of planting adenosine and raising life raising a live plant isn't more a mere sketch at best. Whatever your plant a kernel of corn. What happens when that happened than a colonel in the ground and dies, but as he dies. What happens. It begins a new life. The Scripture says that we die to our old nature we are alive to Christ. We die out to evil desires, and we are alive for a higher purpose. While you were yet in your mother 's womb, God knew you'd formed you put all the seeds in their policies in your life that you need to grow and hear our life as we serve God and eternal life over to God these things begin to sprout. You don't. I never dreamt, that would be a preacher. I never dreamt that I would be in front of people. When I was a teenager I still play football. I love their football coach. I was then the know that that was what I wanted to do. I was pregnant at it, and the black service. There are things in me that God saw that I didn't see that I had it began with a.m. with a desire to go to Bible school and that I would be a operator I couldn't preach I can speak the image. The one thing they has ministry to youth meeting effort claim has invited five minutes is that I'm on another note, the site you all pray for that now they don't allow me find on shutting the butt is almost done, so being the idea is that according to the mystery of the resurrected body, but only if you keep in mind that when we were raised were raised for good and we are alive forever that when Christ is in us and the resurrection comes full, Snell and Haas, the same spirit we ask Christ into our life. It's the same spirit, the raised Jesus from the dead, and when he is alive enough, we are alive forever more. Yes, there's a battle. Yes, there are temptations, but we are greater than I can. Christ is in us, and it is his hope in his life that he is given to us, and because he lives we shall live also that because Christ has overcome evil. We overcome because of what Christ has done Christ in me the hope of glory Christ in me the one who gives new life Christ in me the one who enables me to be more than a conqueror through Christ tulips and then so that is a long journey from before the beginning began till now till eternity future when we live with God forever andI'm going to attempt something that I don't think I've ever done in the timeline is that that the related today, so I'll hopefully be able to be able to present it in such a way that's somewhat easy to follow and whenever we think of creation with a compound that God has created us and and how that he has imparted things into our life, we have to do it within the framework of what we spoke about in Sunday school was truth and what not. So, truth and love are the basis of what God has done in our life. Now we return to Genesis, the makeup of man, every that's that's gotten the title of my sermon, then the makeup of man also that they got the makeup that so and Genesis chapter two verses five, six and seven. That's what we're going to start and I have probably six or seven references in different books of the Bible that I'm going to kind of pullout here and put together, but I wanted it in such a way that gives us an overall picture of what's, what's going on in in in us and let us what's going on for us.

And of course there being the people who are against the idea of creation say that the makeup isn't right that and in the idea is that then have the right dirt. So I went out and I bought organic dirt. So what we are going to do today is we're going to make man. I may need some help making management for making woman, but that how we got dirt that's organic to attain so I lost is a difference between regular dirt organic. But we got organic dark now, cleaning this up afterwards so that if you do so if you were wondering. But anyhow, we got dirt. There is the hero wonder why this all got started, and why it's so important that dart to come life and life become friends with God, and friends with God, live forever now and whenever we start thinking about this is not playing together while it's logistically some dirt or just start what happens in this whole process that makes us so special and how is it that this specialty that God has created.

Now that into those of you who may young may be influenced or think about evolution and things. Evolution is based upon random choice random acts random acts of things coming into existence of things hitting each other and coming together that all of the planets and all the solstice losing all the stars and everything came together in those random acts.

God 's intent is for us to live forever with him and so he gave us a choice which means that we get the chance. We choose what type of life are going to live, which shows what type of perspective are going to have to wait choose each of me are here you Lamar where you are because of the choices you've made your well-being at the end of your life where you are based on the choices you make, you make wrong choices we make. We make wrong choices and with bottle throw above wrong choices. Prisons are full of people that wish they'd made different choices people 's lives been destroyed because of the choices they make. Now, it will comes along and says temptation says what God really said that God really mean that you really think you need to do that. You really think you give yourself by not doing certain things that that can make a difference in your life estate. That's the same temptation came to Adam and Eve. They looked at. The fruit up whatever the tree is. I say was that the Mellon 's dozen Mellon shrink because as a offered Adam, the melanin. It was a honeydew melon and then the media never sent, but will jump honeydew melon. We do this undo that. I know back to the dirt area so longtime Zimbabwe is because we always use illustrator Apple applicant was safe with it, and Apple knows on what the Spirit is present, but the temptation lies to disobey the commandment of God, and disobeyed the command in August of the commandment of God is that God has a purpose God had a purpose for Adam and Eve, not needing an effort because not, this is Ms. Norton and the creation was not about them. It was about God to the creation and replace the we live, isn't about us. It about the one God wants to do in our life. God has a purpose for our life, our sins dry us down. God wants to free us, forgive us liberate us set us free, and any unwanted guild work and I like the change in light. So what is the temptation, the temptation is look at the looks good. The Apple feels good. It's making more than what I had you will be like God think about temptations thing about your fresh thing about your friend people you associate with. Do they want you to do things you don't feel comfortable with doing what you do things that make your makes your heart hurt. When you do them, that God saying don't do think that God telling us don't do it, tell him that you are not allowed that in that group. You know the love and accenting the night because you are on different origin, while their dirt under. But what's inside of me was life, the life of God in the life of God makes a difference in you and how you think and how you respond and how you live because you have a heavenly father that want to do good in your life and take you and to let you land your life out. God leads his people into heaven, the devil addicts than in the hell addictions things that they can't they get beaten. They become addicted to that event that you know this like they have no choice and the addictions drive them Barb told them drive them into away from God but God always gives us the ability to choose. So, in the garden. They had a choice. Don't eat on the tree. The canal is obsolete and was glad and that God leading man, no videos. This place, God holds this place and that there is a greater purpose for what you are and who you are. Then, just not eating of the tree. So God created us to walk with us in the great thing about the garden was the great thing about done so that digital back. The great thing about the garden was God came down the cool of the day to walk with me the idea of creation was that God wants to walk with you. God wants to be your friend. God wants to inspire you, encourage you give purpose to you and your again, our failures are about letting go of them, Jan God can turn them around things like that, regardless of your work in us. So God is doing something with the walk with us back to Luke, chapter ten beginning at Jesus said that I thought they can follow the bolt of lightning out of the sky feat. See what I given you safe passage. Now, when God walks with us is telling his disciples. Here is finding the individuals that he speaking to hear the fastest walk on snakes and scorpions are protected from every assault of the enemy who is the enemy of our soul. This guy over here. His desire enables desire is to stop you from being what God wants you the better it will doesn't know everything that we have to respect people because he will pretty powerful. Even given Michael the Archangel said the Lord rebuke you Satan. I never once we were out when Bible college and we walked in on Jesus. Maybe some purpose before, but tough. Their Bible college and we would always go down the list in the Providence and ignite it out Saturday night or Friday. Saturday night and generally there was no one in town, but really people who were ill pray to Donna ours and we would talk to them about God, and give the materials and in medicine, but we would park our car and one spot walk on the street in the resist home reader who is always in the window beckoning us to command command commencing online in Kaman in the region. Follow us that so one night a friend says let's go in. So we went in and she says she may shop to grab our hand. Simply tell your future and we took out a Bible light in her hand and said, let us tell you your future. The lady screen was likely in part her with a hot iron. She screamed and says I don't want your spirit and here. I don't want your spirit in here. I shall relate here. Get your spirit out of here as she ran to the back. She ran out of the room and the mother. The all and all related amounts as well. Please help. We felt we don't want you disrupting our spirits to see there is a contention there is conflict in our life over good and evil, and we will always have this because people doesn't give up on trying to get you and God never gives up on you. That's why there are sometimes we have to make when we make choices. The great thing in my money public. This is style. Every time we think of what God wants to do God 's word is like planting seeds in our life is unique how that the Scripture talks about how the God is planting God has a purpose for the soil. God has anyone's deployment in our life as he planted plants love you so alone. You reap what you plan forgiveness, your great forgiveness you plan join you, Rachel. You want to be friends with somebody be friends, is if you want things in the Scriptures talk about how that God is at work. What's he doing the life that is given to this piece of dirt. The life is his breath. If the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you he will quicken your mortal body long after this body has gone back to dirt the spirit and also live in God 's spiritual click event and remotely live forever. We are alive inclines. Jesus said, because I live, you shall live also. So the life if possible, never die. Will life in us will never die. Do we. Are we tempted sure Jesus was tempted with. It were better than him were going to be tempted and Linda. Okay to Jesus was the last of eyes. Plus, the flash and pride of life and making the guys that make you feel good, as though making more than what you are after your pressure. So we know why no one can put a hand on you. This is talking about a little chapter ten verse eighteen to twenty pesos. The greatest triumph, the greatest triumph is not your authority over evil but God 's authority over you, and presents with you, and what we can do. It's what God is doing in us. It's what God is doing in us is changing me is changing my life is giving me a different perspective. He's given me a different approach to my life. Why, because I have a divine purpose God has a place for me in this life and in his voice run value places the eyelids. God has a way of working in us is not what you do for God, but what God does for you that the agenda for rejoicing God 's work in my life. So we find that when a lot of the theory to our life. God is at work. He's a work in me now to go out in March after four we did this last week, the farmer was he due with the formative legitimacy. It lasted. He plants the word solo and ending in the Scripture we have here, the former place of work Sunday pro-life seed that falls on hardened soil, which is the route what happens. The decedent on the road. It's plucked up one of the suit on the gravel while they respond with enthusiasm, but their shallow soil, and what happens whenever we got shallow soil dies out quickly, while the third the third one is this even attack upon the wage represents those who hear the kingdom there overwhelmed by worries that you can many other things growing in their lives and the word of God, this guy gets choked out, but the fourth one is the for represent those who hear the word embrace it and I produce a harvest beyond their wildest dreams. Now if I took one kernel of corn, put it in here and a group what when I get back on the years and I know I'm here for years. You get on the stock ways to sometimes one somebody sometimes to how many kernels of grain on each year on, take a guess, I'd examined some of you have a hundred on one ear and hundred on the second year, Holy Cross, you have two hundred. What did I plan one. I planted one kernel I got two hundred back was the Bible say the city planted in the good Earth represents those you hear the word embrace it, and produce a harvest beyond their wildest dreams. What is God planting in our lives. Usually he's preparing the soil hoplite for giving us is preparing the soil by telling us about his grace, his mercy he gives to us what we don't deserve. He gives us his love, his mercy spoke about this in Sunday school. His mercy is what I deserve. He doesn't give me at all. I do bad he doesn't punish me for that badness. He looks beyond my falsities my needs. That's mercy, grace is he loves me even though refined and knew him. He loved me grace and mercy, grace and mercy break up the soil, but the nutrients in the nutrients is our life the seed is the word of God. And when God is telling us about love and forgiveness. Those receipts growing in our life. What's the benefit of forgiveness allows us to go forward in life. The talking a lot about this, that that which offends us only weakens us. And whenever I'm offended. I back away from forgiveness allows me to work through things to move through them in the long go beyond them. So when I forget people I liked all of the hurt and I move on hatred, anger and bitterness caused me to build walls to keep me from going in a direction so the principles of God are saying if you want to see growth seen in your life. Forget if you want to grow a harvest in your life, love, what are the fruits of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, meekness, kindness and long-suffering stars of the seeds of God. They brawl in our life and other people harbors to make my life better make their life better. James three eighteen male wisdom God 's wisdom begins with a holy life, and characterized by getting along with others is gentle and reasonable overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and called the next, or to face the state not to face. I'm the same person, whether I'm at home, whether I'm with my friends whether I'm at work I'm the same person you see the character of the character of God is that we're not changing to be different with each person we are being ourselves with God because God is walking with me and I want to be one with him and he is one with me and I'm not being different because I'm with you character go on it says and you can will healthy, robust community church that lives right with God, and enjoys its resolve. Only if you do hard work of getting along hard-working getting along with each other treating each other with dignity and honor, and finally first Corinthians fifteen. This image of planting adenosine and raising life raising a live plant isn't more a mere sketch at best. Whatever your plant a kernel of corn. What happens when that happened than a colonel in the ground and dies, but as he dies. What happens. It begins a new life. The Scripture says that we die to our old nature we are alive to Christ. We die out to evil desires, and we are alive for a higher purpose. While you were yet in your mother 's womb, God knew you'd formed you put all the seeds in their policies in your life that you need to grow and hear our life as we serve God and eternal life over to God these things begin to sprout. You don't. I never dreamt, that would be a preacher. I never dreamt that I would be in front of people. When I was a teenager I still play football. I love their football coach. I was then the know that that was what I wanted to do. I was pregnant at it, and the black service. There are things in me that God saw that I didn't see that I had it began with a.m. with a desire to go to Bible school and that I would be a operator I couldn't preach I can speak the image. The one thing they has ministry to youth meeting effort claim has invited five minutes is that I'm on another note, the site you all pray for that now they don't allow me find on shutting the butt is almost done, so being the idea is that according to the mystery of the resurrected body, but only if you keep in mind that when we were raised were raised for good and we are alive forever that when Christ is in us and the resurrection comes full, Snell and Haas, the same spirit we ask Christ into our life. It's the same spirit, the raised Jesus from the dead, and when he is alive enough, we are alive forever more. Yes, there's a battle. Yes, there are temptations, but we are greater than I can. Christ is in us, and it is his hope in his life that he is given to us, and because he lives we shall live also that because Christ has overcome evil. We overcome because of what Christ has done Christ in me the hope of glory Christ in me the one who gives new life Christ in me the one who enables me to be more than a conqueror through Christ tulips and then so that is a long journey from before the beginning began till now till eternity future when we live with God forever and
