MESSAGE DETAILS

As Grace Gospel Church continues through the Parable of the Sower, Tim Miller turns attention to the seed itself. Jesus identifies the seed as the Word of God—the message of the Kingdom—which is intentionally sown to accomplish God’s purposes. But if the seed is God’s message, an important question follows: Where is the message coming from, and can the messenger be trusted to communicate it faithfully? Scripture shows God working through messengers such as prophets and apostles, while teachers are entrusted with carefully handling, explaining, and preaching the Word of truth. This message also examines the biblical distinction between true and false messengers. A trustworthy messenger is not measured only by what they say, but also by faithfulness, motives, character, and whether their teaching remains consistent with the gospel entrusted by God. In an online world where more “seed” is being sown than ever before, disciples of Jesus must learn to carefully consider both the message they receive and the sources they trust, laboring to ensure that what they take in—and what they pass on—is good seed from tested and proven sources.
