Sixth Sunday after Pentecost (Traditional)
Rev. Dr. Victor Lee Austin reflects on the parable of the sower, emphasizing that the mystery of spiritual growth lies not in the sower or even the seed—but in the soil. He explores how the human heart must be prepared to receive God’s Word and how grace alone allows that Word to take root and bear fruit. Growth in the Christian life often happens quietly and invisibly, shaped by God’s action rather than human effort. We are called to cultivate openness and humility, trusting that God brings the increase.
