Sermon Introduction –
Jesus tells a parable about a man throwing seed out into the earth. Some of it grows, and some of it doesn’t. How can we let God’s grace flourish in our hearts, like a sprouting seed?
Introduction to this week’s readings –
God’s word is like the rain that waters the earth and brings forth vegetation. It is also like the sower who scatters seed indiscriminately. Our lives are like seeds sown in the earth. Even from what appears to be little, dormant, or dead, God promises a harvest. At the Lord’s table we are fed with the bread of life, that we may bear fruit in the world.
