How Fertile is Our Ground?

How Fertile is Our Ground?

  

 

Introduction: Matthew 13:1-2 "The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the asea side.   2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore."

 

Matthew 13:3-9 "And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;  And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:  Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:  And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.  And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:  But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

 

How fertile is in our ground?  Do we give Gospel truths room to grow in our lives and hearts?  How fruitful has the Gospel "seed" been in our life?
