Week 3: Hope in King Jesus: The Sower and the Seed

We develop words and images and ideologies around the things that are intrinsically embedded into our belief system and, without examination, those things become an invisible structure that holds us in and can also keep us out of a better story that is more true and more life-giving. Essentially, our language contains the heart of our theology. Jesus is God-in-flesh, but also a rabbi - a teacher. And as the pages of Matthew unfold, we see Jesus begin to unwind the language we have known as the only truth. If we are holding deep misconceptions about God and his character - we’ve gotten him wrong. Jesus comes to set the record straight. He came to reveal His father. He’s telling and showing the people of Matthew’s day, and us, how He REALLY is.
