The Broken Vessel
(An Allegory) The broken vessel lay at the Master’s feet, dirty, discarded by life. Too far gone, too many years it had been used and misused, and now lay alone and broken.

Biblical Perspective
Our Sunday school lesson for tomorrow is about the patriarch Abraham who is known as the father of faith.
