Matthew 13:1-9,18-23

Sermon

This Gospel reading has some important points that this community should consider. For example, most of the fields out there have been planted in nice orderly rows, maybe just scattering seeds at random could be more productive? And what about the ditches and slews? Even the gravel roads could be seeded! There is a lot of missed opportunity that we haven’t been taking advantage of. And if there is some advice to be taken away from this parable today, it is that any ground, no matter how inhospitable has the potential to grow fruit. And not just a little fruit, but a 30, or 60 or 100 fold return.

Perhaps, with a little ingenuity and elbow grease, we could modify a few seeders to just scatter seeds at random and see how it works! Who knows what we could plant? Any volunteers?
