Parable Of The Sower
Take Heed Therefore How Ye Hear
Luke 8-5-15
2011-10-30
SYNOPSIS:The parable of the sower is a rare parable, in that it is explained by the Lord Himself. This explanation is actually longer than most people think and we discuss what His other words, which are not part of the traditional reading, mean. These include "No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel" and "Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have." Together with the parable, the explanation teaches us the basic purpose of life and how to be "good ground".

Parable Of The Sower
He Which Soweth Sparingly Shall Reap Also Sparingly
Luke 8-5-15, 2 Corinthians 9-6-11
2013-10-27
SYNOPSIS:The most important part of the Parable of the Sower is the Good Ground. We must be that good ground if we are to be saved. How? The parable does little to explain. The Epistle today explains: "He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully". This is the key to happiness in this life and the next.

Parable Of The Sower
Honest And Good Heart Patience
Luke 8-5-15
2014-10-26
SYNOPSIS:The Parable of the Sower and the Seed is one of the few parables explained by Christ, but still needs to be talked about because many have no idea what this parable means, nor its explanation. The purpose of Christianity is fulfilled only by bearing fruit. This parable describes 4 kinds of ground, that is, souls, and only one kind bears fruit and is saved. We look quickly at the 3 kinds of ground that are not saved, especially focusing on the words that should be emphasized, such as "cares and riches and pleasures". The description of the good ground is the most important part of the parable, and we look at the critical words "honest and good heart" This parable refutes the heresy of "faith without works", but more importantly, teaches us what we must do to prepare our ground to receive the seed and be filled with God. the parable does not tell us that we must stop sinning to be saved, but must have an honest and good heart. This is good news for those who desire to be saved!

Parable Of The Sower
Good Ground Patience
Luke 8-5-15
2015
SYNOPSIS:The Parable of the Sower is not just a story. It is a command; it teaches us how to live. We go over some of the "circled words" at the end of the parable, "good ground", and "an honest and good heart", and "bring forth fruit with patience". They all teach us the way of life. We especially describe two kinds of patience. One is a wonderful personality trait to possess, but is not salvific, in and of itself, The other is absolutely necessary for salvation; without this kind of patience, no person can be saved. We also talk about ways to cultivate this kind of patience from personal pastoral experience.

SYNOPSIS:In the parable of the Sower, only one kind of ground is saved. We skip to the chase and evaluate how much our Savior's words apply to us: "Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables..." and how to have an "an honest and good heart..."
