Time to Grow – Luke 8:4-8 PARABLES are wisdom scenes aimed at the heart and mind that reveal the Kingdom of God.

Luke 3:21 – 22  “When all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. As he was praying, heaven opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a physical appearance like a dove.
