From Seed to Fruit
If you are a believer, or if you aren’t but have heard about Christ’s death on the cross, or anything about the Gospel, then the seed of God’s kingdom has been planted in you. Just like Jesus himself illustrates in the story of the sower, seed that is planted is expected to grow and eventually mature and bear fruit. Has the truth about Jesus grown in your life? Is it bearing fruit? This study goes through the four scenarios of circumstances that you may relate to regarding this seed—soil by the wayside, rocky soil, thorny ground, and good soil. The goal is to be in the good soil meaning that you honestly recognize your deplorable situation and accept God’s plan as the only viable plan for you life. Do something about it today and take an action step that will keep you growing and bearing fruit.

Life as Dirt
Over the years, I've had opportunity to share about Jesus with lots of people, and it never ceases to amaze me their varied responses. Some flatly refuse. Others quickly respond, but then wilt away. Still others seem to get side-tracked mid-way along the journey. And another group goes on to accomplish much for the kingdom of God. There are lots of times I am frustrated that not everyone responds to the Gospel message with the same vigor and excitement. I want everyone to bear much fruit. But it doesn't seem to be the way. That's what Jesus is talking about today. I hope you're okay playing the role as "dirt", because that's what you are in this parable! Our receptiveness to the Gospel is represented by four types of soil. The key distinguishing factor of good soil, as we will discover today, is that it produces a harvest. What type of spiritual fruit is being produced in your life? Key Passage: Matthew 13:1-23
