The lectionary gospel reading for Trinity 6 is the Parable of the Sower and the Soils in Matt 13, along with Jesus' explanation of it—though omitting the challenging explanation of why Jesus teaches in parables in the middle.
Come and join James and Ian as they explore the passage, and its significance for discipleship, ministry, and mission.
