Scripture: Hebrews 13:7-21 (ESV)
Notes:
Sermon Topic: The Sower and the Soils
Scripture: Mark 4:1-9, 14-20
Pastor Nick Brideson June 4, 2017
Scripture: Mark 4:1-9, 14-20 (NIV) 1 Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large
that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at
the water's edge. 2 He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: 3 "Listen!
A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path,
and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil.
It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants
were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns,
which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed fell on
good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred
times."
9 Then Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." 14 The farmer sows the word. 15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is
sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But
since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes
because of the word, they quickly fall away. 18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear
the word; 19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other
things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. 20 Others, like seed sown on good
soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop--thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what
was sown."

Jesus' ministry through His parables and miracles.
