David opened our series on Jesus’s parables in the Gospel of Luke with a sermon on the Parable of the Sower, which he described as “parable 101.” Building on the image of the Word of God as a seed, here is part of his message:

We have two Bibles. One is that on the desk, and the other is that in my heart. The Bible on the desk is like a seed not planted yet. And the true Bible is that in my heart. Only the Bible in my heart sheds light on my way, guiding my steps to the truth and life. The Bible in my heart should be exactly the same as that on the desk. So, by reading the Bible and synchronizing my heart with it, we should transform our human DNA into God’s DNA.
