Join us as we launch Summer Parables - Your Place In His Story, a new sermon series exploring the book of Luke. We begin in Luke 8 with the Parable of the Soils, where Jesus challenges his disciples to truly hear and understand his message. In this episode, we'll delve into the parable's meaning and its surprising relevance to our modern world. We'll also discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping what and how we perceive information, alongside the broader cultural impact of worldly ideologies on our ability to discern truth.

The parable of the sower.

Pastor Steve discusses the power of the parable of the sower.

The Parable Of The Soils- Luke 8 w/Darren Tyler

Does the Parable of the Soils teach loss of salvation? How can I respond to someone who is always bossing and lecturing me? I want to evangelize on the streets for the rest of my life! Why do I always feel like I'm walking on eggshells with God? I want to launch a fitness program online, but my friends say I need to “do more.” What are your thoughts?

A new international study involving researchers from Durham University has revealed that climate change is accelerating the rate of development and global abundances of antibiotic resistance bacteria in soils. The findings, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, highlight a new and deeply concerning less seen consequence of global warming to public health. Rising antibiotic resistance in soils The study shows that rising global temperatures are significantly increasing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factors in soil microbial communities. These genes can make bacteria less susceptible to the effects of antibiotics, increasing the probability of acquiring antibiotic resistant infections, including from dangerous pathogens. The research, which integrates field data, metagenomic analysis, and laboratory experiments, provides compelling evidence that warmer conditions will favour the survival and evolution of pathogenic and other bacteria that are resistant to therapeutic treatment - bacteria that often originate in the natural environment. Professor David W. Graham of Durham University, co-author of this study, a water engineer and expert in antibiotic resistance, says "the study exemplifies how closely connected human health is with environmental change." This research provides compelling evidence that climate change is more than an environmental crisis, it also is impacting global antibiotic resistance due to warming. This research forms part of a growing body of evidence that environmental factors, including global warming, are playing a crucial role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance. It underscores the importance of a 'One Health' approach that recognises the interconnected nature of human, animal, and environmental health. Professor Graham said: "Most people do not realise that most of the pathogens that cause infectious disease humans actually originate from the environment. "Therefore, increasing resistance in soils will almost certainly translate into increased levels of untreatable infections in human and veterinary practice. This is why One Health solutions are important". The study found that the impact of warming will be more pronounced in colder regions. In the past, colder temperatures normally kill off bacteria, especially human pathogens, but as temperatures increases, such strains will survive longer, which this study shows. As temperatures rise, bacteria also appear to changing on an evolutionary level, with an increased probability of genetic changes and the appearance of 'new' pathogens to which no antibiotic options exist. Professor Graham said: "The relationship between climate and antibiotic resistance was predicted in the 2023 United Nations report: Bracing for Superbugs: Strengthening environmental action in the One Health response to antimicrobial resistance and the new work here provides concrete evidence for that prediction." The research team found that even modest increases in temperature can trigger significant rises in the abundance of ARGs, particularly in bacterial groups such as Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, which are known carriers of resistance and virulence genes. Laboratory experiments with Escherichia coli confirmed that elevated temperatures lead to increased expression of antibiotic resistance genes, including those involved in efflux pumps and stress response proteins, which are key mechanisms in bacterial defence. Moreover, machine learning models used in the study project that, under high-emission climate scenarios, global levels of soil ARGs could rise by up to 23 percent by the end of this century. The researchers warn that climate-driven changes to microbial communities could undermine efforts to control antibiotic resistance and may lead to greater risks of infection from previous antibiotic-susceptable bacteria from soils and, more importantly, an increased probability new pathogen 'jumping' from environmental sources ...

We kick off our summer parables series with a look at "The Parable of the Soils", the first parable recorded in the Gospels. SCRIPTURE READING: Matthew 13:1-15

We're continuing our journey through the Kingdom Parables in Matthew 13 with Pastor Derrill Corbin. This week's message, “Soils of Our Hearts,” dives deeper into the Parable of the Sower, unpacking what Jesus revealed about the condition of our hearts. We revisit the foundational truth that the heart is the soil of the Kingdom—designed to respond to His word and destined to bear fruit. Through the lens of four types of soil—footpath, rocky, thorny, and good ground—Pastor Derrill explores how the pressures of life, repetition, and time can compact the soil of our hearts, making them resistant to the transforming seed of the Kingdom. From personal stories to scriptural insights, you'll discover how to break up the fallow ground, admit the hardened areas of your life, cultivate holy desire, and respond in obedience to the Spirit's leading. This message is a powerful call to examine the condition of your inner world and allow God to restore it for a fruitful future. Join us as we lean into His presence, soften our hearts, and receive the fresh rain of His righteousness.

In Mark 4:1-20, Jesus used a parable to teach that the Word of God is like seed, and the condition of our hearts determines the fruitfulness of what is produced. Pastor Isaiah explains that while some hearts are hard, shallow, or distracted by the world, others are "good soil," ready to receive and respond. The call of Christ is not just to hear the Word, but to receive it, reflect on it, and let it take root in order to produce lasting spiritual growth!

Rediscover the power and purpose of Scripture through the lens of Jesus' Parable of the Sower. God's Word is essential for spiritual growth, salvation, and equipping believers to live out their faith. Amid a culture that often resists absolute truth, this message challenges followers of Christ to cultivate hearts that are open, responsive, and rooted in God's truth.

As we get in to the parables, Pastor Chris preaches from Matthew 13:1-23, which is a parable that talks about how God's kingdom is composed of citizens that serve productively.

In this sermon we study the parable of the sower and the soils. A farmer sows seed in 4 different types of soil, yielding 4 different responses. Their is a sober warning and an encouragement in this parable.

Cover crops have been around for over 10,000 years. It wasn't until about 50 years ago that they started being replaced with chemical fertilizers, which many farmers saw as a more modern, efficient method. But the tide may be turning again – back to the (cover crop) roots. And this time, there may be loads of economic opportunity and environmental sustainability to gain. Press play to explore: Tips for growing cash crops that will enrich soils, leading to better harvests How algal blooms and drinking water problems can result from bare soils in the winter months How relay cropping works and why it's so useful Mitch Hunter is an Assistant Professor and Associate Director of the Forever Green Initiative at the University of Minnesota. This interdisciplinary initiative is dedicated to helping farmers and the environment by developing comprehensive crops, cropping systems, and supply chains for novel crops. The ultimate goal is to keep soils covered all year long, preventing fertilizer from washing into bodies of water, maintaining soil quality, and boosting overall productivity.

One wellness expert has opened up about the physical and mental benefits of getting your hands dirty. Studies have shown that the amount of physical contact with the soil affects the diversity of your gut microbiome and health. Touching dirt, especially for extended periods like gardening or playing outdoors, can positively impact your microbiome by increasing the diversity and richness of beneficial bacteria on your skin and potentially in your gut. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara explained how we can 'embrace the dirt' in our lives. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A “green and growing crop” is often perceived as a visual validation of a healthy no-till system. But subsurface investigation is wise to truly understand the biological stability of your soils for long-term success, says Brad Forkner. In the latest edition of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by NewFields Ag, the seasoned agronomist will explain how to decipher soil biology and soil moisture profiles and utilize the information to determine when to quit on a crop or when to pump it up with biologicals, plant growth regulators, nitrogen and much more.

Jesus gives His followers a parable to teach them how people respond to the good news of the Gospel. Some people embrace it enthusiastically, but quickly fall away because it wasn't rooted deep within them. Others have it snatched from them before it even enters their consciousness. Still others believe, but when they tested, the truth gets strangled inside of them. There are some people, however, in whom the Word of God firmly takes root and produces wonderful fruit in their lives and the lives of others. What kind of person are you?

Sermon by elder Billy Dalton

This Sunday, in Mark 4:1-20, Jesus teaches the Parable of the Soils and challenges us with a profound question: “How are you hearing?” Since the fall of creation into sin, God promised a Savior—a seed of the woman—who would crush the serpent's head, deliver humanity from sin's corruption, and establish an everlasting kingdom. In Jesus of Nazareth, that promise is fulfilled. He proclaimed, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe the good news” (Mark 1:15). Through miracles such as healing the sick and forgiving sins, He demonstrated His authority as the long-awaited Messiah. Yet, as we've seen in Mark's Gospel, people responded to Jesus in unexpected ways. Crowds pursued His miracles but overlooked His kingdom. Religious leaders, who were most familiar with the Scriptures, rejected Him. Even His family believed He had lost His mind. How could so many hear the same teachings, witness the same wonders, and respond so differently? In Mark 4, Jesus addresses this through the Parable of the Soils. He describes four types of hearers: the hardened heart, the shallow heart, the strangled heart, and the receptive heart. Each hears the word of the kingdom, but only one bears fruit. Jesus emphasizes hearing—a term mentioned thirteen times in this chapter—not merely as listening, but as accepting and obeying His message. He warns, “Take care how you hear” (v. 24), because our response reveals whether we truly follow Him or simply agree with Him. Jesus' parables judge the hearer, not the other way around. They call us to examine our lives: Are we bearing fruit for His kingdom, or are we distracted, indifferent, or unchanged? The difference, as Jesus says, has an eternal cost. 1. "Hear" The Parable of the Soils (Mark 4:1-9) 2. "Hear" The Parable's Purpose (v. 10-13) 3. Hearing is a Matter of the Heart (v. 14-20)

In Matthew 13:1-23 Jesus explains, in a parable, why there are such different responses to the Word. May we be those with ears to hear.
