PRESENTATION OUTLINE
'Brothers and sisters, here is what I want you to know about our people who lived long ago. They were all led by the cloud. They all walked through the Red Sea. They all ate the same supernatural food. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all drank the same supernatural water. They drank from the supernatural rock that went with them. That rock was Christ. But God was not pleased with most of them. Their bodies were scattered all over the desert. Now those things happened as examples for us. They are supposed to keep us from longing for evil things, as the people of Israel did. […] They were written down to warn us who are living at the time when God's work is being completed. So be careful. When you think you are standing firm, you might fall.’
1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 11-12
Whatever you expect to happen, will.
'Still other seed fell on good soil. It grew up and produced a crop 100 times more than the farmer planted."[…]”Here is what the story means. The seed is God's message. People on the path are those who hear. But then the devil comes. He takes away the message from their hearts. He does it so they won't believe. Then they can't be saved. Those on the rock are the ones who hear the message and receive it with joy. But they have no roots. They believe for a while. But when they are put to the test, they fall away from the faith. The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear the message. But as they go on their way, they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures. So they do not reach full growth. "But the seed on good soil stands for those with an honest and good heart. They hear the message. They keep it in their hearts. They remain faithful and produce a good crop.’
-Luke 8:8, 11-15
