THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER (Mark 4:1-20)

Starts with a COMMAND: LISTEN!

  • Ends with a PLEA: He who has ears to hear, let him hear

 Listening must be ACTIVE

  • Faith must SERIOUS, PERSISTENT & PERCEPTIVE

 The Context – The Kingdom of God

 The Components

  • The Seed – The Word of God
  •  The Sower – God making His Word known
  •  The Soil – The hearts of the hearers: Hard, Shallow, Distracted and Good

 The IMPLICATION of the Parable

  •  There are only TWO types of soil: UNFRUITFUL or FRUITFUL

The APPLICATION of the Parable

  • For those outside the Kingdom – Fruit of Repentance
  • For those professing to be inside the Kingdom – Fruit of Ongoing Spiritual Growth
