The Parable of the soils
November 22, 2015 Preacher: Series: The Parables of Jesus
Passage: Mark 4:1–20
“The Parable of the Soils”
Mark 4:1-20
Point # 1 Like the sower, God spreads his word widely among all kinds of people.
Point # 2 Like the three kinds of unfruitful soil, many will respond to the word with less than saving faith, be it . . .
· a complete lack of response due to the enticement of evil
· temporary superficiality masquerading as true commitment
· genuine interest and conviction about the truth that simply falls short due to the rigorous demands of discipleship
Point # 3 Like the fruitful soil, the only legitimate response to God's word is obedience and perseverance, which demonstrate true saving grace.
