This Sunday, September 6, we are studying together the powerful and highly realistic parable of the sowing of seeds in a garden. As you prepare for this study:
- Read the parable: Matthew 13:1-9 & 18-23.
- The same parable is found in Mark 4:1-9 and Luke 8:4-15. Read these as well.
- Think through the exaggerated truths that become obvious as you read.
- Think through spiritual truths and how they apply to your personal life.
- Then, read these passages that will bring this conviction: what kind of garden is found in your life?
Your life really is a garden.
I don’t think it is any mistake that the first man and woman lived in a garden—the Garden of Eden. It was in this place that they had a completely full life and constant relationship with the creator God. Life was springing up and multiplying around them constantly.
Our life—your life—still is in a garden. It is now a deeply broken garden. But we still seek the kind of life that we were created to have. Jesus Christ came to give us this life.
We are going to spend our Sunday morning talking about how this parable gives us insight to have the full life that we know is missing. See you Sunday morning at 10 a.m. You are invited into any of the “three doors” to LifeWay Church:
- In a home group—worshiping together via our online platform
- At the church property outside (pre-registration required)
- Or in your own home—streaming the service
Whatever way you choose, we will worship and grow together.
