← Wheat & Weeds — March 27 [Description]Overview of Matthew 13:24-30Jesus tells a parable (a short story with spiritual meaning) about a farmer who sows good wheat seed in his field. But while everyone sleeps, an enemy comes and plants weeds (tares) among the wheat. When the plants begin to grow, the weeds are noticed.

We Plant - God Grows — March 29 [Description]Overview of Mark 4:26-29:In this short parable, Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a man scattering seed on the ground.

Let Your Light Shine: Use It or Lose It! — March 28 [Description]Overview of Mark 4:21-25 & Luke 8:16-18:In both passages, Jesus uses the metaphor of a lamp to drive home a key message: light is meant to be seen, not hidden. He’s speaking about truth, spiritual insight, and the Gospel message—once received, it’s meant to be shared, not kept under wraps.Jesus follows that up with a warning and a promise:- Pay attention to what you hear (or how you listen).- Those who receive and respond to God’s truth will be given even more understanding.- But those who ignore it—or fail to live it out—will lose even what they think they have.In essence, Jesus is saying:? Don’t hide what God has shown you.? The more you lean into truth, the more God will reveal.? But if you ignore or dismiss it, even your grip on it will fade.These passages challenge listeners to live boldly and intentionally, using what they’ve been given to glorify God and influence others. 365D 87
