Matthew 13:18-23(ESV)
“Hear then the parable of the sower: Whenanyone hears the word of the kingdomand does not understand it, the evil onecomes and snatches away what has beensown in his heart. This is what was sownalong the path.
Matthew 13:18-23(ESV)
As for what was sown on rocky ground, this isthe one who hears the word andimmediately receives it with joy, yet he hasno root in himself, but endures for a while,and when tribulation or persecution arises onaccount of the word, immediately he falls away.
Matthew 13:18-23(ESV)
As for what was sown among thorns, this isthe one who hears the word, but the caresof the world and the deceitfulness ofriches choke the word, and it provesunfruitful.
Matthew 13:18-23(ESV)
As for what was sown on good soil, this isthe one who hears the wordand understands it. He indeed bears fruitand yields, in one case a hundredfold, inanother sixty, and in another thirty.”
God = SowerWe = Seeds
•PATH= Some people don’t understand us and don’t receive us
•ROCKY= Some people hear and like what we have to say, butbecause there’s nothing developed between us, they fall by thewayside
•THORNY= Some hear us, but are so busy with life that nothingever comes out of it
•GOOD SOIL= But some hear us, believe us, and receive us. Andtheir lives are changed
Don’t just sow the seed…Be theseed!
The HOLY SPIRIT goes beforeyou!

“And in the last days it shall be, Goddeclares, that I will pour out my Spirit onall flesh, and your sons and yourdaughters shall prophecy, and your youngmen shall see visions, and your old menshall dream dreams;”
The Holy Spirit isworking all thetime!
It’s our great advantage!
The conditions are already perfect!
