Parable: Royal Blue With Stripes Of Red

Parable Description: Royal Blue with Stripes of Red is not just the story of Sew Powerful and the Sew Powerful Purse program. It is the bigger story of God using the simple and discarded to create beauty and wholeness. This is what he desires to do in all of us.  Are you feeling small and insignificant? Then you are right where he wants you!

Devotional Description: Based on Luke 21:1-4 and reflecting on the idea once expressed by Max Lucado that God has a special place for those who feel left out.

Parable: The Pandaroo

Parable Description: A mythical creature half panda and half kangaroo. What happens when we feel like we don’t fit in. Does God make mistakes?

Devotional Description: Based on Psalm 139:13-16 and explaining how we are God’s workmanship – carefully created to bring God’s beauty to others.

Parable: Honest Henry’s Store

Parable Description: Based on the parable of the man who builds his house on the rock. Told through the true story of the hurricane that destroyed Galveston, TX in 1900.

Devotional Description: A reflection on Matthew 7:24-27. This devotional will help you prepare for your own personal hurricane season.

Parable: Steve The Sheep

Parable Description: Based on the parable of the 99, this is the story of the one who wandered away. It’s a lesson on boundaries.

Devotional Description: A reflection on Luke 13:3-4. Just as Jesus used a parable of sheep and the shepherd to illustrate God’s loving and relentless pursuit of us, let’s see if this modern-day parable – Steve the Sheep — can shine any light on that penetrating question, “Why do we wander away from the God who loves us?”

Parable: You Do Your Part, I’ll Do Mine

Parable Description: The story of Noah’s sons. What happens when God tells dad to build an ark? And what do you do when God is “slow” in keeping his promise.

Devotional Description: A reflection on Genesis 7:710. God will always honor his promises. Always. Waiting in trust and obedience on God is hard work. He is faithful in all things. Our task is to trust and obey him totally. God uses waiting as his way of teaching us how to trust and obey him. Waiting is God’s gift to us. He is faithful. Now, it’s our turn.
