August 31, 2014Parable of the Sower
Matthew 13:1-23
Parable: reveals truth, making people understand the unknown by what is known
The four kinds of soil
The wayside soil
The rocky soil
The thorny soil
The good soil
Bible examples of each kind of soil
Wayside soil – Felix – Acts 24:24-26

Thorny soil – Rich young ruler – Matthew 19:22
Good soil – Paul (his life) – Acts 9:3-19
Present day examples
Wayside – one who hears but pays no attention to the word.
Stony – one who hears and receives the word, but lets external things such as persecution or pressure hinder him and cause him to fall.
Thorny – one who hears and receives the word, but lets internal things such as money, position, prestige, pleasure, or sexual lust come between him and God.
Good – one who hears and receives the word and does not allow anything to keep him from faithfully serving God.
The real lesson of the parable
Take heed what you hear (Mark 4:24)
The information must be right.
Take heed how you hear (Luke 8:18)
