Tonight we talked about Luke 8:5-8, 11-15 which is a parable about a farmer planting seeds. The seeds fall onto four different types of soil with different results. The dirt of representative of people who have heard the gospel, the seed being the gospel. The first type of dirt is Path Dirt, which is trampled and hard soil. Birds come and eat the seeds so no plant is ever grown. These are peple that come to church, have the chance to hear the good news and have thir life changed for the better by it but are distracted or just refuse to think about what they hear. The second type of dirt is Rocky Dirt, which is dirt with a lot of rocks still in it. Because of this the seed is planted but has no root, so when the sun comes out the plant withers. These are those who hear God's word but don't stick with it. They are pumpled up to follo God one minuted but when it becomes too difficult to stick with God they abandon the path. They have never spent any time reading their bible or in prayer to build up their roots. The thid type of dirt is Thorny Dirty, which is dirt that has weeds growing in it. Because of this the seed grows but they never grow big enough to produce anything because they are choked by the weeds surrounding them. These people have experenced life's worries, pleasures, and riches and follow after them instead of fully following God, thus they enver each others. The final type of soil is Good Dirt. This dirt takes in the seed, grows a plant, and produces a crop. The bible gives 5 things that it does. #1. It had a noble and good heart. #2. It hears the word. #3. It retains the word. #4. It perseveres. #4. It produces. You can be good soil if you listen, retain, stick with it, and share the gospel.
