The sermon of the God´s Word had a new elected archbishop Dietrich Brauer. For the base of his words he chose the text about the Sower from the Gospel of Luke, 8. chapter. He emphasized, that the: „In any case the goal of the parable is not so much to divide people into categories but to warn us about soillessness and draw our attention to the joy of a fruitful life. For ultimately bad soil ruins life, and that is its main evil. And good soil gives life and brings fruit for its continuation. Thus those hearing the Word of God are receiving Life itself. This means that this Word contains great power.“ And he also pointed, that the Parable of the Sower primary said: „about trusting the Word of God. The incarnate Word of God, the Logos of God, is Christ Himself“.
