Our brother Brian Laba, one of the leaders of the community “Light of Christ” in Grand Rapids, Michigan, gave a series of two talks awhile back on the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4. The first of these talks focuses on the obstacles that a disciple faces in following the Lord. Listen below or download the talk here: https://servantsoftheword.org/download/342888/
Mark 4: 3-9:
“Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
