The Parable of the Silly Sermon - Matthew 12:46-50, 13:1-23

Ever hear Jesus’ teaching and think, “That won’t work in the real world” or “Yeah, but we’ve got to be realistic”? You’re not alone.

We’re looking at a well-known parable (Matthew 13:1-23) where the farmer seems foolish, and the viability of the seed (i.e. is this seed any good? Will it bear fruit?) is in doubt, and suitability of the soil is suspect.

Here are some things we will discuss:

• Foolish Messengers: Jesus’ followers often appear as “foolish” as His message.
• Enduring Faith: His teachings constantly stretch our trust.
• Foolishness Leads to Abundance: Even when Jesus’ message feels unrealistic, perseverance brings a miraculous harvest.

Do you want to bear fruit for Christ’s kingdom? Do you want to be one of those with a ridiculously abundant harvest? If that’s you, join us to hear why God’s ‘foolish’ approach might be the key to transforming your life—and the world—more than you can imagine.
