This week in part 2 of our review of the Parable of the Sower in Matt. 13 we drill down on vs. 10-17, isolating the disciple’s question “Why do you speak to them in parables?” and Jesus’ paradoxical answer.

Part of hearing the voice of God is cultivating the 'soil' of our hearts as Jesus tells us in the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13: 1-23. This week in part 1 of this 2 part message, we look at the purpose of Jesus' use of parables and how parables impact how we hear God's voice.
