The book of Mark: Mark 4:21-34 “More Parables”
Tonight we move from Jesus’ explanation of the parable of the sower into three more parables of the same nature, illustrations from daily life that reveal the true character of the Kingdom of God and that reveal Jesus’ identity as the Son of God. If we look closely, we see that the parable of the...
