Primary Scripture: Luke 8:1-15
This episode kicks off a new study of Jesus’ parables, beginning with the Parable of the Sower from Luke 8. We explore why Jesus used "earthly stories with heavenly meanings" to invite people into meaningful engagement with the Gospel. The discussion centers on the good news of redemption and how our reception of God's Word depends on the "soil" of our hearts: the path, rocky ground, thorns, or good soil. Discover how life's worries or a lack of spiritual "moisture" can hinder growth, and be challenged to become good soil that yields a plentiful harvest.
