Guest speaker, Steven Evans shares a parable from Luke 8. Jesus wasn't talking about dirt and seeds in his message, he was relating a parallel story that concealed and revealed.
There were four types of soil in this parable.
- The Seed got trampled.
- The Soil was thin and dry.
- The Seed got choked out by thorns and weeds.
- The Seed and soil were optimal and thrived.
Take away:
- Pain and abuse can knock people down and make them guarded.
- Some people come to faith, but don't get grounded in God's Word so they don't learn and grow.
- Some get so busy that they don't make time for God so they are spiritually weak.
- Even messed up people can thrive and be fruitful in their faith.
