In this sermon Mr. Smith encourages us to dig deeper into what we are reading when we read Jesus' parables. He then spends the sermon illustrating his point by going into the parable of the sower in Matthew 13 in detail. This parable relates directly to how we approach preaching the gospel and to our understanding of the last great day.
