Join us as we continue with Matthew 12 and 13. We open with a great picture of an iceberg … yes an iceberg. A great lesson in how little we know and understand, only a tiny part of the berg is above water and can be seen or explored, most of it is hidden to all but the most intrepid, and so it is with these parables. On the surface beautiful and easily visible but as we begin to investigate more fully, they have a ton of good and mostly hidden instructions and information for us. Certainly, a good place to begin is the so called parable of the Sower and the Seed, which is really the parable of the Soil. Is the soil of our heart ready to receive the Seed of the Word? Or is the soil hard to the Word? Do we allow the cares of the word to choke it out? Is there no one to come alongside when we are lacking a solid foundation?
