Summary
In this sermon, Bro Mike discusses the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13, which Jesus called the greatest of all parables. He explains how Jesus used parables to screen out casual listeners while revealing truth to sincere seekers. The sermon breaks down the four types of ground where seed (God’s Word) falls: the wayside (road) where birds snatch it away, stony ground where it grows but has no roots to withstand pressure, thorny ground where worldly cares choke it out, and good ground where it produces abundant fruit. Pastor Mike emphasizes that Christians can become good ground through repentance and renewing their minds, and that spiritual attacks often indicate the devil fears your potential.
Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we gather to discuss Your Word today, we ask that You would prepare our hearts to be good soil. Open our minds to understand the truths in this parable of the sower and help us see where we might be allowing Your Word to be snatched away, choked out, or prevented from taking deep root. May Your Holy Spirit guide our conversation and reveal what You want each of us to learn today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
