Parable of the Sower

Pastor Dominic continues our journey through the Gospel of Matthew with Jesus’ Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1–23). In this message, we explore why Jesus taught in parables and what this well-known story reveals about the condition of our hearts when we hear God’s Word.

Jesus describes four types of soil representing different responses to the gospel—from hardened hearts and shallow faith to distracted lives and, ultimately, hearts that truly receive and bear fruit. This passage reminds us that while the seed—the Word of God—is always good, the way we receive it matters deeply.

Join us as we reflect on what it means to hear, understand, and respond to God’s Word in a way that produces lasting spiritual fruit.
