About a month ago, Eastside Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho planted our first international church. New Horizon Baptist Church is located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I’ll share more about the new church plant soon, but for now enjoy the pictures of the gathering of the Lord’s people last Sunday.
Bible Lesson from the Seed
Today was a day for harvesting my giant sunflowers. I had two plants grow to full maturity (others suffered early demise due to strong winds). Throughout the process I’ve had Matthew 13 on my mind, the parable of the sower. In this parable, Jesus talked about the sower who sowed his seed. Most of the…
