Amazing, eloquent teaching! Ezekiel 31:6 alerted me re: the mustard seed parallel and this was the only teaching I found after a brief search. Many, many thanks! I will subscribe. 🙏🙏🙏
Wow…..that was such an amazing exposition. The Old Testament was paralleled along side the New Testament….not only that it was beautifully graphically done….as well. The farmer is like the preacher….both don’t have a clue how effective the seed (or God’s Word) will be, or how will the soil (or listeners) respond? The power of the Spirit must be within the Word itself or the overall parable story…..it’s the very breath of God.
David, I can't find the exact quote (I have searched and searched but cannot recall the exact source). Here, Luther says something very similar: "What God does looks to reason as if nothing can ever come of it and as if his word and promise are pure lies" (Festival Sermons of Martin Luther, pg. 34.
Once again, thank you such a marvellous presentation of God's Word.

Does anyone have a reference for the Luther quote mentioned in minute 11?

Yes need to include about the birds( demons)
Birds of the air are usually a negative symbol for the enemy. I wish this teaching would have incorporated that.
Not necessarily but maybe.
