Introduction

Jesus travels throughout Galilee, preaching the Good News about the Kingdom of God. He and the disciples are accompanied by women who use their resources to help them. Jesus teaches about the Kingdom of God by means of a parable. When members of Jesus’s family want to see him, he defines family in a way that extends beyond ancestral ties.

Today's Scripture Reading 

Luke 8:1-21

Today’s Key Verse: Luke 8:15

The seeds that fell in good soil stand for those who hear the message and retain it in a good and obedient heart, and they persist until they bear fruit.

Reflect

Today’s reading includes the parable of the sower. What is the “seed?” Where do the various “seeds” fall and what is the result? What does it mean to you to “hear the word of God and obey it?”

Pray

Lord Jesus, I want to be good soil. May your Word take root deep in my heart so that I become obedient to your Word and bear fruit. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Pray Concern

Farmers and all who work the land

Tomorrow’s Reading
