Read Matthew 13:1-23
Listen to Sunday's sermon here.
Heavenly Father,
Blessed are we, for we have heard Your Word. You did not look only upon the sins of our hearts;You did not withhold your seed, though we are hard and rocky soil. You graciously scatter the seed of Your Word in all places, and let it fall on all ears, because grace is given to all people in Your Son Jesus. It is Your strong Word of Law that breaks up the hard soil of our hearts, and it is Your strong word of Gospel that gives us life. Grant us hearts to receive that Word and hold it fast. Cultivate us, Lord, prune us with your Law and feed us with Your Gospel, that we may grow in faith towards you and fervent love for one another, through Jesus. Amen.
