Over the last few weeks we have been doing a series called “the seed”. If you’re new today or you haven’t been in a while you’re probably asking yourself, “why is this group talking about farming and seeds?” To help you understand and catch us all up we have discovered that this series is not about farming but about potential and God’s Word being a powerful part of your life.

If you haven’t already opened your bag I want to invite you to open it up now and dig in. Now, if you will make sure that you eat the seeds and don’t throw them that would be nice. We aren’t going to have a food fight today so please refrain from starting one. Thanks.

I brought this plant with me because we’re starting a new series this weekend called “the Seed”. Now, I don’t have a green thumb but I know enough to know what a plant needs to grow and survive. How about you? What does it take to keep a plant healthy and growing? Yes, you need all of those things; water, sunlight, love, dirt. You guys know more than I do. How about this, what kills a plant?
