Do We Have Ears? | Luke 8:1-15 - Clint Leavitt

Stories are central to the human experience; we love to tell them and love to listen to them, and we tend to walk away from them having been changed in some way. Jesus was a master storyteller: He had a way of telling stories (the Bible calls them parables) that forced His audience to ask profound and relevant questions about their lives. As Pastor Clint introduces this series, we look at the purpose of parables: they force us to listen and respond. Jesus' Parable of the Sower shows us how this works, and how, though many people can hear the message of Jesus, they may not truly be listening to Him. Sermon Resources: 1.
