Matthew 4:3-8
3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.8 Still other seed fell on good soil.

Reflection
This week we are focusing on how we can take risks in our personal faith walk and as a church. One of the reasons we do not take risks is that we are afraid of failing. But the truth is that our failures allow God to show through our
humanness? If we take the risk and fall flat on our face, this
opens the door for God to do something that only God can do. Think of the biggest dream that you have to share the love of God with your community. Dream of something so big it will fail without Gods help. Write it down here and pray about it.
