We look at the well-known parable of the Seeds & the Sower.  "Why do you teach in parables?" the disciples asked him.  Jesus' answer was a bit surprising:  "To conceal the truth!"  We'll examine that perplexing purpose as well as the responsibility we have to not only be hearers but also doers of the word.  Finally, we'll look at an amazing new concept that Jesus presented to his listeners:  "the Family of God".  This message was originally given at Memory Chapel on Sunday November 13, 2022.
