1In today's study we're once again discussing the parable of the soil. 2Pastor Mark is asking the question: What kind of soil (or hearer) are you? 3When you hear the Word of God, does it fall on fertile ground and grow 4or does it sit on top and then blow away when the first gust of wind hits? 5We also look into the three great enemies we see in the Gospel. These 6are: Satan, our own flesh and the cares of this World. We must learn to 7seek the Lord through His Word in order to have victory over these foes. 8Pastor Mark also touches on fruitfulness. We learn from the book of 9John that TRUE disciples produce MUCH fruit and this fruit brings glory 10to our Heavenly Father. So if we hear and obey HIS Word, we will be fruitful!
