Teaching A farmer scatters seed on four soils

God's word is like seed - when it lands in a soft, willing heart, it grows into a beautiful, fruitful life.

  • The same seed grew differently depending on the soil. What do you think makes a heart "good soil" for God's word?
  • Worries can choke God's word like prickly weeds. What worries might crowd out the good things God wants to grow in us?
  • A tiny mustard seed grew into a big tree. How does it encourage you that small beginnings can grow into something wonderful?
