This week we are looking at Chapter 4, in particular verses 1-20, ‘Sowing Seeds in the Kingdom of God’. The parable of the sower, also known as the parable of the four soils, is so well-known we are tempted to think we barely need to read it again but looking at this parable with fresh eyes, what can Jesus teach us about the challenges of being fruitful for Jesus?
The recording of our service will be available shortly.
