The parable of the sower is one of Jesus' more famous parables.  This episode takes five minutes to talk about the four soils on which the seed of God's Word falls. 

Agriculture was a large part of the culture in Christ's day and He often communicated biblical truths with stories that related to everyday life. It has been said that a parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. 

In the parable of the sower, we learn that if and when God's Word fails to take root, it's never because the seed was no good. The soil is always the problem. God's Word is never outdated and never needs to change to conform to the culture. However, the soil of our hearts often needs attention so that can receive the Word.
