The messages and experiences we hear and share at the Feast of Tabernacles have a cumulative effect, helping us to grow in understanding year by year. It's as Jesus explained in the Parable of the Sower, the seed is the word of the kingdom, sown in our hearts, which sprouts and grows and produces fruit. This sermon traces that process through the life and experiences of the speaker, encouraging each one to consider the mileposts along their journey, through the messages of the Feast.
