In our study of Mark’s Gospel, we come to Jesus’ teaching, often called “The Parable of the Sower.” In this parable, Jesus concentrates on the response of each type of soil to the sowing of the Word of God.

In Mark 1:16-20, Jesus outlines a series of steps the disciples took to follow Him—the call, the commission, and the commitment. Jesus invites them to follow Him, so they immediately drop what they are doing and go with Jesus. This invitation wasn’t just […]
