Location
1. Sower’s Cove is located between Capernaum and Tabgha on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee.
2. It’s a natural cove with outstanding acoustics.
3. When Christ preached the Parables of the Kingdom, He went out of His house in Capernaum and sat by the sea. Tradition and the natural location of Sower’s Cove make it an excellent candidate for the place where Christ preached the Parables of the Kingdom, as found in Matthew 13.
Historical Background
1. A parable is a story that illustrates a truth by using an example from nature.
2. The parables tell what the Kingdom of Heaven is like.
3. The term “Kingdom of Heaven” and “Kingdom of God” are the same. Matthew’s gospel uses the term “Kingdom of Heaven” as it was directed to more of a Jewish audience. The Jews had such a high reverence for God that they didn’t use His name much. They even took out the syllables in Yahweh to show reverence. The other Gospels mainly use the term “Kingdom of God” in their accounts.
4. Part of the reason Christ spoke in parables was to fulfill prophecies regarding judgment on the Israelites because of their dull and hardened hearts (Isaiah 6:9-10).
Matthew 13:13-17: This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says: “You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” 15 For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17 For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”

Isaiah 6:9: Go and say this to the people, They shall hear but they will not (want to) understand; they will see, but they will not know (not for a lack of revelation but uninterest). Fat (non-functioning) is the heart of this people; their ears are heavy and their eyes are dim (lack of illumination) lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and they will be healed ……….
