Parable of the Sower (Mark 4:1-9)

Thoughts

  • Every day souls go to hell, so the Word of God must be sown continuously
  • We must be doers of the Word, not hearers (James 1:22). Good intentions alone change nothing
  • If people do not hear the Word of God, they hear the fake news of this world
  • The Gospel must be preached into all the world to the whole creation (Mark 16:15)
  • Our only job is to be obedient. The Holy Spirit takes care of the rest (Acts 1:8)

Question

  • What excuses are we finding to not spread the Gospel?

How shall people be saved (Romans 10:13-21)
