The Parable of the Sower

As our Lord gave His parable on the different soils, representing the conditions of the human heart, He explained how God's Word affects and even changes His hearers. This Sunday we will praise the Lord for His Word that gives Spiritual Life to hearers. We will also take some time to consider the four different reactions the Word of God produces in its hearers as we look at Jesus' Parable of the Soils. Let us ask the Lord for grace to have good soil in our hearts and the hearts of everyone who hears His Word.
