Apple Seeds (2 of 2)
Series: The Greatest Gift

Matthew 13:3-8


''Then He told them many things in parables, saying: 'A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop-a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.'''
Matthew 13:3-8 (NIV)


WHAT ARE YOU PLANTING?

''Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.''
John 12:24 (NIV)

WHERE ARE YOU PLANTING?

The Calloused Life

''When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.'' Matthew 13:19 (NIV)


The Comfortable Life

''The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.'' Matthew 13:20-21 (NIV)


The Crowded Life

''The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.'' Matthew 13:22 (NIV)

''Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.''
Galatians 6:7 (NIV)

The Complete Life

''But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.'' Matthew 13:23 (NIV)
