Jesus used plant imagery and parables of gardening all the time. The people inherently understood implications for parables that He gave, especially because they were part of their every day experience. One of the most amazing things that the plant world has to offer is the opportunity for connectivity. A neighbor (or 4) may invite you into their community garden and you may be able to naturally share life and the good things God has to offer through the harvest He gives. Our journey to build bridges has become all about relationships with ordinary everyday people of Hillcrest, the garden gives opportunity to work together, to serve others, to give generously out of God's blessing. Here are some potential new connections in Hillcrest.
In the Parable of the Sower, the receptive soil bore a multiplicative harvest. May our little gardens bring harvests to cultivate friendship, the friendships planted in the soil of trust bring Kingdom opportunities to share the King, and may the Kingdom come 10 times, 40 times, and 100 times in new hearts yielding their throne rooms to Jesus, the Father, and the Spirit. Will you believe this with us?
