Be Careful How You Hear

Luke 13:3; Psalms 121:6
And would you open your Bibles please to Mark chapter four. We've been preaching through the gospel of Mark. Mark chapter four. You have it. Look up here. I want to ask you a question. A Why is it that when the preacher preaches some people are saved and some people are not? Why is it that some believe the Bible and some don't? Why is it that some go on for God and bear fruit and others don't?

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

Now here's the key, verse nine. ''And he said unto them, he that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was alone, they were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: that seeing ...
