Matthew 13:1-23 – The Parable of the Sower (mp3)


Introduction  

Appetizers are designed to simply whet the appetite for the real entrée. Often, though, we make full meals out of them. Last week we looked at the nature of the parables as something of an appetizer for them. While it was a full meal, it is hoped that meal simply made us hungrier for the rest! Today, we start by looking at the parable of parables, the parable of the sower. 

1. We are sowers 

2. We are soil 

  • Good soil has belief 
  • Good soil has depth 
  • Good soil has perception
