Why Jesus Used Parables ｜ Mark 4:1-20
The Book of Mark

Time and time again during His ministry on earth, Jesus spoke to the massive crowds in parables, sometimes leaving them hanging with His engaging stories packed with veiled and coded meanings. Only the eyes and ears that had been prepared for the gospel news were ready to discern the wisdom and power of His Holy Words. Listen this week as Pastor John preaches about the raw and infinite holiness of God, who hides Himself and His purposes from the wicked while preparing the believers hearts for redemption and righteousness. The parable of the sower and the seed has the power to reveal our sinful nature and confirm the offense of the gospel truth. Once the wreckage of our own sinful lives and hearts is confronted, we can then grasp the relationship of the seed and the soil that builds God's mighty kingdom!
