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.

Démoderniser pour décoloniser : les musées d'art moderne au XXIe siècleCharles Esche, curateur et écrivain vivant à Amsterdam, interroge la façon dont les musées d'art moderne et contemporain sont conditionnés par leur passé moderne et colonial et nous invite à explorer de nouvelles stratégies et propositions curatoriales à travers l'exemple du Van Abbemuseum aux Pays-Bas, qu'il a dirigé pendant 20 ans.Au cours de cette conférence, Charles Esche aborde la façon dont les musées d'art moderne et contemporain sont mis en difficulté par leur passé moderne, dont ils peuvent encore créer des récits qui répondent aux enjeux du moment et à la diversité de leurs usagers. Il s'appuie sur l'exemple du Van Abbemuseum aux Pays-Bas pour explorer des stratégies concrètes qui pointent vers des activités potentiellement pluriverselles et porteuses de sens.Il aborde également la question des processus continus et sans fin de décolonisation à partir d'une position de l'Europe occidentale, ainsi que les limites de ce type d'approches. La conférence se terminera par une brève excursion au-delà du cadre institutionnel de l'art, en explorant les réponses potentielles de l'art et de la pensée artistique face au climat politique réactionnaire actuel.Conservateur et écrivain basé à Amsterdam, Charles Esche est conseiller à la Jan van Eyck Academy et professeur d'art contemporain et de pratique curatoriale à l'University of the Arts de Londres. De janvier à avril 2026, il résidera à la Cité internationale des arts à Paris. Jusqu'en 2024, il a été directeur du Van Abbemuseum (Pays-Bas). Sa dernière publication majeure est Art and Its Worlds, Afterall and Koenig Press, 2021.Il a été commissaire de plusieurs expositions internationales, parmi lesquelles : Soils, Australie et Pays-Bas, 2024; The Meeting That Never Was, Vilnius 2022; Art Turns, Word Turns; Musée MACAN, Jakarta 2017; Biennale de Jakarta 2015; 31ème Biennale de Sao Paulo 2014, RIWAQ Biennale, Palestine, 2007 et 2009; Istanbul Biennale, 2005 et Gwangju Biennale, 2002Amphithéâtre des LogesMardi 3 juin 2025Crédit photo : © 2025 Gluklya Pershina

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.
