Fourth Sunday after Epiphany

atthew 13:22 The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced.

Last week we learned of seed falling on ground that was a hard pathway and it had no chance of growing as the devil came and removed the seed.

Last week we were introduced to ‘farming,’ that is, sowing the truth about God from the parable of the Sower where the seed fell on four types of soil, that is four conditions of the heart.
