Stewards Of Our Seed (1 of 4)
Series: It Started With A Seed
Frank Damazio
Introduction: It all started with a seed. Everything starts with a seed, but a seed not planted is a seed wasted. It is potential locked up because seeds only go to work if planted. Inside of every seed is the fierce force of life waiting to be unleashed into a mighty miracle. We will build our faith together to believe in the mystery of a seed, the seeds God will give us and the seeds we will plant. Henry David Thoreau said, "I have great faith in a seed.

3. A mother wanted to teach her daughter a lesson. She gave the little girl a quarter and a dollar for church "Put whichever one you want in the collection plate and keep the other for yourself," she told the girl. When they were coming out of church, the mother asked her daugh ...
