"You ARE what you DO, you DO what you ARE"!
10-4-2014 Mark 4:13-20
S. 13
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all
parables?14 The sower soweth the word.15 And these are they by the way side,
where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and
taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.16 And these are they
likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word,
immediately receive it with gladness;17 And have no root in themselves, and so
endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for
the word's sake, immediately they are offended.18 And these are they which are
sown among thorns; such as hear the word,19 And the cares of this world, and
the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke
the word, and it becometh unfruitful.20 And these are they which are sown on
good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some
thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
O. Jesus
gives three examples of how people receive the word of God.
A. I
will prepare myself to receive the word and be a fruitful servant. I will keep
my heart and mind fixed in the word of God; I will share the truth with as many
others as I can. I will confess my sin and seek to change any aspect of my
life, that I will be obedient to my Lord.
P. Father;
I am weak and feeble and I need your help. Direct my path and speak your will
into my heart. Amen.
