This is the last show on the parable of the Sower and the Seed from Matthew 13:1-23.  Thorns are very difficult to get out but with the Lord's help it is possible.

Moving toward concluding this series on the parable of the sower and the seed from Matthew 13:1-23

These talks are all designed to help us identify and deal with the things in our lives which prevent us from hearing the word of the Lord AND understanding it.  We need not just to hear, but also to understand.

Read Matthew 13:1-23 and let's share some insights, all with the purpose of hearing and understanding, getting rid of rocks, clearing out the thorns and bearing fruit.

Part two on Matthew 13:1-23.  Four types of soil, the characteristics of that soil and what if anything can be done to change to good soil

Symbolic meanings of the setting.  The sea.  The boat.  The disciples.  The shore.

How is it possible that "he who receives you receives Me"?  It seems impossible.  I am not like the Lord at all.  O God have mercy!!  The show gives us some clues about how it might indeed be possible, and how indeed it is true!!!

Community, Daddy, Heaven and Earth. Holiness, etc.  Thoughts and reflections and challenges to the way we think of ourselves.
