The document summarizes Jesus' parable of the sower from the Gospel of Mark. In the parable, Jesus describes how a sower scatters seed on four types of soil: a path, rocky ground, among thorns, and good soil. The seed that falls on the good soil is the only seed that bears fruit. Jesus explains that some people do not understand his teachings because Satan prevents it, they believe temporarily without root, or they are choked by worldly worries. The good soil represents those who hear, accept, and bear spiritual fruit from Jesus' word.

The Sower, the Seed and the Soil
The Parable of the Sower Mark 4:1-20
Mark 4:10-12 10 As soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. 11 And He was saying to them, To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables, 12 so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN.
Mark 4:13-15 13 And He said to them, Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word. 15 These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
Mark 4:16-17 16 In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; 17 and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.
Mark 4:18-19 18 And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, 19 but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Mark 4:20 20 And those are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.
What soil are you?
What soil are you? Who makes the soil good? Who pulls the weeds, removes the rocks, tills the ground?
Who though is the sower?
What if I get it wrong I cant make them see They dont listen to me I dont know the next step They reject me
Am I fertile soil? Am I a faithful sower?
