Jesus often used parables as a teaching tool to both emphasize and illustrate truths about the Kingdom to those who were ready to listen and to confound His critics as they looked for loopholes and opportunities to entrap Him.----------This week, Frank uses three such parables from Mark chapter 4, all using a seed as the foundational element of the parable and as the illustration of spiritual growth--the benefits, rewards, and potential for that growth.----------We hope that as you join us and hear the Word of God taught, that His Spirit would guide you into an understanding that helps you to grow in wisdom and in truth.----------
