Matthew 13:3-9, The Parable of the Sower – June 23, 2024

Science of Mind Spiritual Center Los Angeles

Loving greetings to you all, and happy Father’s Day to those of you who are a blessing in the lives of those whom you father, and those who have fathered you.

As you will see from our weekly topics, each is based on a timeless teaching from the Bible that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago. Our founder Ernest Holmes referred to the Bible as “The Grand Old Book,” saying this of it: “We shall approach our study [of the Bible] with the idea in mind that we are working out a philosophy of life which deals with man’s relationship to Spirit.” And that’s exactly what we will be doing throughout June, whose theme is “The Wisdom of the Grand Old Book.”

The June 23, 2024 topic is Matthew 13:3-9, The Parable of the Sower. The soil tilled in one’s consciousness can be compared to the commonly known four types: roadside, which is hard, compact, unreceptive; rocky, which lacks sufficient soil and depth for seeds to take root; thorny, which chokes the soil with thistles; and fertile, which welcomes the seeds, nourishes and multiplies them. How receptive and fertile is your garden of consciousness?
