4 Kinds of Soil - Which One Are You?
Luke 8:4-8 (NLT)
4 One day Jesus told a story in the form of a parable to a large crowd that had gathered from many towns to hear him:
5 “A farmer went out to plant his seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it.
6 Other seed fell among rocks. It began to grow, but the plant soon wilted and died for lack of moisture.
7 Other seed fell among thorns that grew up with it and choked out the tender plants.
8 Still other seed fell on fertile soil. This seed grew and produced a crop that was a hundred times as much as had been planted!” When he had said this, he called out, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

If This is True, What Should We Do?
HEAR daily
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
-Romans 10:17 (ESV)
DISCUSS weekly
All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.
-Acts 2:42 (NLT)
OBEY immediately
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
-Matthew 7:24 (NIV)
FOR DISCUSSION:
Read Luke 24:13–35 out loud. Then retell the passage in your own words. Then discuss the following questions:
What does this passage teach us about God?
What does this passage teach us about people?
If this is true, what should I do in response?
Who could I share this with?
