Read MoreJesus’s preaching of parables helped present the truth of God’s word in a way we can understand and relate to. God as the sower creates all life through the seed of the gospel. We are represented by soil, the catalyst with which to grow that seed into fruit. Christ calls us to be fertile soil, through which the gospel prospers in abundance.
Read MoreWhat does it look like to be changed through Christ? The behavior we are told to reject is normal, easy, and natural, but God gives us the power to be different and it is only through Him the old or dead can be made into a new life.
