The Parable of the Four Soils (3 of 3)
Series: Jesus Loves Sinners

Luke 8:1-15
Lord's Supper next Sunday - spiritual leaders of the home will serve their families.

As he said these things, he called out, ''He who has ears to hear, let him hear.''
9 And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, 10 he said, ''To you it has been given to ...
