The Storyteller’s World

Описание: Jesus begins His ministry of storytelling by describing how His stories work. The Parable of the Sower is a map of the heart—showing that the difference between fruitfulness and barrenness is not in the seed but in the soil. The Word of God is generous, freely scattered, even on hardened paths and thorny ground. Yet not every heart receives it. Some are distracted, others hardened, and still others shallow. Jesus’ call is not simply to hear but to heed—to allow His Word to take root, grow, and bear fruit.

Through this parable, we learn that understanding Jesus’ other parables depends on this first one. The mysteries of the Kingdom are given to those who listen with faith. The same Word that hardens the resistant heart softens the repentant one. The question of the parables is always this: will we listen only with our ears, or with our hearts? In the upside-down Kingdom, revelation comes not to the clever, but to the receptive.

Welcome to Trinity’s Online Worship!

Trinity (https://www.morelikejesus.church) is a multisite church in the Chicago area. Our goal is simple: we want to help people be more like Jesus.

We believe Jesus was the Son of God who conquered sin and death for us through his death on the cross and his resurrection from the dead. His life of sacrifice and radical love for all not only restores our relationship with our creator, but it inspires and guides us as we seek to love others as he loved us.

We pray this worship experience connects you to the love and grace of Jesus. We also pray it helps you to be more like him!
