Text: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
Title: The Generous Sower
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
Everyone one has a story abut God. Some people tell a story of God as being stingy or controlling. They think God only loves certain kinds of people and makes us earn his love. Jesus tells another story about God. Jesus tells us in Matthew 13 that God is like a sower who casts his seed all over the place in both good and bad soil. He generous spreads the good news of the kingdom of God to those who respond and those who refuse. He gives everyone a chance. We gather to worship today because God has planted his seed in our hearts and now invites us to join him in sharing that seed as it produces a harvest 30, 60, and 100 fold!
