5 Lessons from the Parable of the Sower
Encouragement for Leaders in Small Places
Ministry can be discouraging.
Perhaps you’re:
A youth leader preaching to a dozen blank faces
A pastor preaching with little fruit
A door-to-door visitor, tired of your invitations being ignored.
Whatever you do, ministry is discouraging. And rural ministry is particularly discouraging.
No ministry is easy. However, in a sparsely populated area, it is likely that gospel growth will take longer to come.
This is not a surprise to Jesus. In fact, he prepared us for it. In this article I released for The Rural Project, we’re going to look at the parable of the sower and see what it can teach us about ministry.
