SPB Sermons || Matthew 13:1-23 ||The Sower, The Seed & The Soil

The same seed. The same sower. Four very different soils. In this sermon from Matthew 13:1–23, Rev Andrew Irwin opens the Parable of the Sower and asks what state our hearts are in when the seed falls. Are they hard, shallow, choked with competing loves — or receptive, understanding, and bearing fruit? And for those who know where they stand in Christ: will we keep scattering, keep praying, and keep trusting the Lord of the harvest — because the harvest, says Jesus, is certain.
