Mark 3:13 - 4:34

Feb 5, 2023    Pastor Will Fillingham

The sermon explores a passage from the Gospel of Mark, specifically focusing on the parables Jesus used to teach about the Kingdom of God. These parables, such as the one about the sower and the seed, use relatable imagery to illustrate the different ways people respond to God's message. Some, like the seed that falls on the path, hear the word but do not take root. Others, like the seed on rocky ground, have initial enthusiasm but quickly fall away when faced with challenges. The parables highlight the importance of having a receptive heart and a commitment to follow God's teachings, emphasizing that true growth and fruitfulness come from those who receive the word and let it take root in their lives.
