The Parable Of Parables | Parable Of The Sower
Shared on: Jul 10, 2023
What is the purpose of parables? Jesus says that he spoke in parables to reveal the secrets of the Kingdom to his chosen people and to hide the truth from those who not have the eyes to see and the ears to hear. For if his enemies could understand what he was saying, they would have been all the more hostile to him. It is under the umbrella of the parable of the sower that all of his other parables fall. God's people need this parable explained and proclaimed to them. With this sermon collection, you will be helped to do just that.
