Mark 4:1-20

VERSE OF THE DAY: Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.—Mark 4:20

Today Jesus teaches the Parable of the Sower and explains the purpose of parables.

REFLECTION: Good Soil Grows Good Fruit

• Be fertile soil. Receptive and willing to grow.
• This starts with listening.
• Be open to the Word. Heart and mind.
• Accept the authority of God’s Word.
• Our lives are supposed to produce fruit
• The fruit of your life is the evidence of what God has done and is doing.
• What we hear and receive changes who we are.

Q's: Have you been good soil lately? What kind of fruit is your life bearing? What is the biggest challenge to being good soil?
