Today, we reflect on the Parable of the Sower, a powerful story Jesus shared to teach us about the condition of our hearts and how we receive God’s Word.

Spirit Of The Law Part 1

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 27, 2023

Who better to give a commentary on the Old Testament than it's author, Jesus? Let's look at the Spirit of the law in Matthew 5.

The best commentary on the Old Testament is by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.
