"Living on Purpose: The Purpose of Parables" (Mark 4:1-20) A sermon series from the Gospel of Mark. Jesus tells a story about a farmer, seeds, weeds, birds and grain to prove deeper spiritual points about God and God's work on earth. This parable is about how, during times in your life when you are experiencing spiritual attacks, have worries, or are getting distracted by problems, you can rest and draw strength from God, like seeds being nurtured by good soil. Let God, in this time of anxiety, grow your faith and change your life. Teaching by Pastor James Lindberg, Living Grace Lutheran Church, Omaha, Nebraska, USA.
