Series: Arizona Grand Canyon CFO 1963

The Seed That Sprouts In the Dark

Taking up Isaiah’s “make straight in the desert a highway for our God,” Bernie Warfield teaches the 1963 Arizona CFO that a seed will not sprout unless it is planted in the dark. A season of spiritual dryness, he says, is itself the ground where growth begins.

When First Joy Grows Into Sympathy

Bernie Warfield preaches on the fear that guilt and spiritual dryness produce. He retells Olive Schreiner’s story of Love and Life’s child Joy, who grows up and is lost, then returns as a humble, serving companion named Sympathy. The message comes from the 1963 Arizona CFO.
