One Person at a Time: The Parable of the Sower
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dave Quak preaches at Living Temple Christian Church from Matthew 13, exploring Jesus’ parable of the sower and what it means to live with other people in mind.
Rather than carrying the pressure to “save everyone”, Dave unpacks the simple call to sow seeds of faith, love, kindness, prayer, care, and gospel hope — one person at a time.
This message looks at the four soils Jesus describes: the path, the rocky ground, the thorns, and the good soil. It also explores spiritual warfare, discipleship, depth, worry, wealth, fruitfulness, and the call for everyday Christians to partner with God in seeing lives changed.
Main themes:
Living with others in mind
Sharing Jesus one person at a time
The parable of the sower
Spiritual warfare and prayer
Discipleship and deep roots
The worries of life and deceitfulness of wealth
Fruitfulness and multiplication
