Objectives
- Students will ask themselves wha type of soil best describes their life today.
- Students will see to be good soil.
Introduction
Have you ever planted a garden? Gardening is a lot of work.
Main Body
- Jesus spent somewhere around 3 years teaching the people int he Roman provinces of Judea and Galilee about God, and the way in which God desires us to love. A key method Jesus used in teaching was that of a parable. A parable is a short story used that illustrates a spiritual lesson. Jesus spoke in parables and explains those parables to his disciples.
The Wayside (V. 4)
- Compare with Matthew 13:19 where we are told that people hear the Word, but fail to understand it resulting in the missing the opportunity to germinate.
- What does this mean for you today? If there is something you don't understand then you need to ask. We are talking about important information, if you have questions then you should ask.
Seekers need soften their hearts and set answers so the Word of God can penetrate and take root.
Stony Ground (V. 5-6)
- In Mark 4:16 and 17 we see that the seed that is sown on stony ground does sprout, but as soon as trouble comes it fades away.
Seekers must go deep, don't be content with a surface level understanding of God, you must go deeper.
Among Thorns (V. 7)
- Mark 4:18-19 tells us that there are some significant distractions that can choke the Word: cares of the world, riches, desires of the world.
- Note: The seduction of the world may not destroy the plant, but it will keep the plant from producing fruit and accomplishing its intended purpose.
- You must get rid of the cares of the world and instead focus on Christ.
Seekers must not lose their focus on their Savior.
Good Ground (V. 8)
- Mark 4:8 uses three ideas to describe the one represented by good soil: hears the Word, accepts the Word, bears fruit.
Seekers should told and labor to receive, hear, and bear fruit from the Word of God.
Conclusion
Seekers must work to prepare and maintain good soil so the Word of God can be effective in their life.
