We are going to spend the next 12 weeks telling 12 stories about Jesus. The truth of the Bible is told in stories. Jesus taught in stories, and his life is told to us in stories passed on to us by those who witnessed these events. They are witnesses to the truth of who Jesus is. That's really what Jesus' baptism was all about, bearing witness of who Jesus really is. He is the Son of God.

Study: Get Understanding
"Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding."
Though it cost all you have, get understanding."
- Proverbs 4:7
Of all of Jesus' parables, The Parable of the Sower stands out as fundamental to understanding life in God's kingdom. It works for understanding many different aspects of kingdom life, including evangelism, salvation, and spiritual growth. These next few weeks, we are looking at how to be transformed into who God calls us to be. In the parable, the sower spreads seed all over, but in only one area - the good soil - does the seed grow and mature enough to bear fruit.
It's easy to get the wrong impression on spiritual disciplines, that we are teaching that if you work hard enough, you will grow yourself spiritually. But really what you are doing is preparing the "soil" of your heart to receive the grace of God so that it takes root in you and the Holy Spirit is able to freely do His work in you.
