I was going through some old yellow legal pads of mine and found some notes I took from a sermon a friend of mine, Rick Mitchell, preached back in 2005. I actually remember that night very well. Here where some of the thoughts:

God provides us with seed

• tithe is not your seed
• 90% is your seed
• not every seed is the same size, but every seed has the same potential: reproduction
• plant it or eat it

Seeds must be sown faithfully

• 2 sowed it, 1 hid it
• there’s sowers, then there’s throwers
• faithfulness produces a harvest

Sowing opens the door to abundance

• what you have is puny compared to the abundance God has for you
