Mark 4:1 - 4:34
Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
In this lesson on Mark 4:1-34, Steve Gregg analyzes several parables of Jesus about the Kingdom of God. He discusses how some parables were intentionally ambiguous and meant for only those who truly hunger for the truth. Furthermore, he explores the importance of being receptive to the message and not hardening one's heart against it. Finally, he emphasizes the gradual growth and maturity of the kingdom of God, leading to a fruitful harvest at the end of the age or one's life.
