The Priority Of Fruit

Jesus told a number of parables during His life, but did you know that the parable of the sower in Mark 4 is described as the "first of all parables?" In verse 13, Jesus literally says that if we can't begin to get our heads around this particular illustration of the Kingdom, that we will be lost in trying to comprehend all other parables, analogies and illustrations. It is this parable that Pastor Jeremy is digging into - driving towards the ultimate focus of what Jesus was communicating - the fact that true engagement with the Kingdom of God causes people to bear fruit. Give this text a read or two and be ready to be stretched, to learn and, ultimately (we pray) to be left in awe of Christ and His Kingdom.
