The third type of soil that Jesus describes is soil that appears to be fertile and ready for good growth. This soil receives the seed and growth begins in their lives but this soil is plagued by other growth that impedes the good growth. This soil is full of weeds, thorns and plants that choke the good plant, so it does not receive the light it needs. This is a heart full of riches, pleasures, lus...

The second type of soil that Jesus describes is soil that shallow and full of rocks that don’t allow the roots to grow very deep. The immediate growth leads to excitement, joyful praise and acceptance but the moment trouble arises they quickly abandon faith. This soil needs to be cared for as God tills up the false trusts of their lives to allow room for deeper and richer growth of roots that can...

The first type of soil that Jesus describes is soil that has been hardened by the treading of the world. The Sower throws seed on this heart soil, and it is instantly snatched away by Satan and never allowed to grow. Suffering of the world, sin in ourselves and from others, and the constantly treading of others has a hardening effect on our hearts. This ground needs love, care and attention to be...

God stands alone without an equal or a rival, “His light shines in the darkness” and will not be overcome (John 1:5). The desire of God is that we would place our full faith in His character, power and love and yet we have an enemy who seeks to deceive us and lie to us about God’s character, God’s power and God’s love. While God stands victorious through the resurrection power of Jesus, we are pro...

God knows the hearts in all of humanity and is not ignorant of our sinful/selfish ways. Over and over the Bible speaks of God being holy, He’s entirely opposed to sin and death. Yet God comes to us in Jesus and claims to have a solution. His solution was not to avoid us, or punish us, but rather to deal with our sin. God shows us His law so that we would clearly know His expectations, and we must...

People will spend thousands upon thousands of dollars towards education, but God offers personal lessons of wisdom in His Word. His desire is that human beings would flourish, that we would be our best in life. The trial and test that all of us face is deciding what defines “success”. The biblical w...
