At the start of a new school year Esther starts a new series looking at some of the Parables of Jesus to see what are the meanings behind them and how we can apply them to our lives.
She starts with the Parable of the Sower in Matthew chapter 13 verses 1-9 & 18-23. This parable is actually more about the ground that the seed is being sown into - along the path, on rocky places, among thorns or on good soil - and what happens to the seed in each case. The 4 types of ground are representations of our hearts and how we can receive God's word when we hear it. So finally Esther asks how do we go about ensuring that our hearts are "good soil" so that we will response correctly in order that fruit will grow in us?
