Two Parables of Seeds Growing (Part 1)

The Life and Teachings of Christ
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

Steve Gregg teaches on two parables of seeds growing in Mark chapter 4, which include the parable of the sower and the parable of growing seeds. Gregg explains that Jesus used parables to obscure the truth from those who were not interested in fully understanding his message. He goes on to examine the different types of soil in the parable and the significance of each, reminding listeners that while some may not understand the message, God is not one to minimize it. Throughout his teaching, Gregg emphasizes the importance of faith in receiving God's gift of salvation.
