Listening is one of the most important skills in life—and in faith. In this message, we explore Jesus’ Parable of the Soils from Matthew 13:1–9, 18–23 and discover how the condition of our hearts determines how we receive and respond to God’s Word.
You’ll discover:
-Why some hearts resist truth while others receive it
-How emotional or shallow faith can fade under pressure
-What it means to have a crowded heart filled with distractions
-How true faith takes root and produces lasting fruit
-Why listening and obeying are both essential for spiritual growth
Through biblical teaching and practical insight, we’ll see that the root of faith always produces the fruit of faith. God calls us not only to hear His Word but to live it out—bearing fruit that reflects His work in us and sharing His truth with others.
Key Scripture: Matthew 13:1–9; 18–23
Theme: The root of faith always produces the fruit of faith
Takeaway: True hearing leads to doing—and doing leads to growth.
