Pastor Leighton continues his series through the Gospel of Mark:
“Do you know what the word prodigal means? In modern English we only hear that word in one place…And that’s unfortunate, because the word prodigal doesn’t mean rebellious or wayward. In fact, prodigal means lavish, generous, bountiful, even irresponsible. The prodigal son lavishly scattered his father’s money like the sower sows the seed. So here we meet the prodigal sower…
If you look at this as the parable of the sower, where’s your focus gonna lie?…Sowers are important…critical… we are to be sowers of the word - but it’s not the sower that makes the difference. It's the seed.”
