    A message about our spiritual priorities, showing the danger of the thorns of worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desire of other things in the parable of the sower/soils.

    Three Deadly Thorns Introduction: The parable of the soils is found in three of the four gospels, but for the purposes of our sermon this morning, lets look at the fourth chapter of Mark. In the parable of the four soils, Jesus paints a visual picture of a farmer scattering seed around and it ...read more

    The Bible tells us quite a bit about Satan.

    SATAN LUCIFER 1. Wise and Beautiful Cherub Ezekiel 28:11-15 The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus (represents Satan) and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord God says; Seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

    To Fail, To Fall, To Finish

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Feb 24, 2019
     | 5,377 views

    However, it clear from Scripture and history that many have perished, are perishing, and will perish. Only those who fight a good fight and finish their course will be saved.

    TO FAIL, TO FALL, OR TO FINISH II Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” However, it clear from Scripture and history that many have ...read more

     | 4,867 views

    In one of the most important parables of the Book of Mark, Jesus teaches us to do three things with the Word of God: to hear it, accept it, and reproduce from it. The challenge for us is ... Are we obeying or disobeying this critical command?

    Kingdom Seeds Mark 4:1-20 Introduction - Pray for Rod: doing well, needs to rest and recover from fusion surgery - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- He is the ultimate servant; giving Himself clearly for all who will receive -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, ...read more

    Sowing And Harvest Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 31, 2017
     | 14,513 views

    The heart must be prepared by the Spirit to receive the Word and yield a spiritual harvest. Jesus discussed the four types of soil and their impact on the Kingdom. One tiny seed sown in the right place has unbelievable potential.

    Sowing and Harvest Mark 4: 1-20 Today we come to the first parable of Jesus, recorded in Mark’s gospel. This approach to teaching marks a definite shift in Jesus’ teaching style. We have discussed many accounts of the intense opposition Jesus faced while expounding truth. Along with the Pharisees ...read more

    Four different hearers and responses to God's Word

    God’s Word, the Good Seed Mark 4:1-20 Good morning. How many of you have a garden? Those of you, who garden, know weeds grow faster and stronger than seeds you may plant. Some farmers say it takes 60 pounds of wheat seed to sow an acre of wheat; but, there’s 3,000 pounds of weed seed in an acre, ...read more

    This is a study of the gospel of Mark regarding the life of Jesus. It is based on my personal study and research of Scripture and many books and sermons I have read over the years.

    GOSPEL OF MARK: GOD’S SERVANT IN ACTION SHARING & ACCEPTING GOD’S WORD A. Mark 4:1-9 (READ) 1. In Mark 3, we see the CROWDS that are FOLLOWING Jesus growing by LEAPS and BOUNDS. a. “Jesus now has His 12 apostles in place to help Him minister to the people”- Mark 3:13-19. b. Among ...read more

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 3 Of 5 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 31, 2025
     | 242 views

    We continue the Sower, considering the seed that fell into rocky ground, the shallow soil, with a warning. Temptation plus affliction and persecution will in time burn and kill off any mere profession. These hearers are only temporary. Then we begin the seed choked in the thorny soil.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 3 of 5 Last time we finished thinking about the good seed that was wasted on the barren pathways and beside the roadway. There was nothing wrong with the seed, but the reception was nil because men closed their hearts to ...read more

    Can The Church Be An Obstacle To Discipleship For Jesus?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021
     | 845 views

    Is it possible that some of the doctrine, rules, and regulations of the church be a stumbling block to becoming a disciple for Jesus? Yes, it was definitely one for me and I still struggle with it.

    {You may want to read Mark 4:1-9, This is the actual parable that I am speaking about. } [Why parables?] 10 As soon as He was alone, 1 His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. 11 And He was saying to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom ...read more

    In Mark 4, Jesus taught the parable of the sower, and then explained it. The parable challenges us to sow the word of God and to cultivate our hearts so that we can be the good soil that produces a great harvest.

    A. Once there was a man who was having serious heart trouble, so he went to the doctor to see what his options were. 1. His doctor recommended that he have a heart transplant. 2. The patient asked if there were any hearts immediately available and told the doctor that he could pay whatever amount ...read more

    In this passage of scripture, Jesus tells the parable of the four soils in Mark 4:1-9. Then in Mark 4:10-25, Jesus gives an explanation about the parable of the four soils.

    Jesus used parables to instruct the people. Parables are brief tales utilizing recognizable scenes to clarify spiritual truth. This technique for educating urges the audience to think. It disguises the truth from the individuals who are excessively obstinate or biased to hear what is being ...read more

    We can learn how to treat one another by the example of how Jesus dealt with children. Jesus dealt with children in an anticultural manner.

    To fully interpret and understand Jesus' words, one must understand the culture in which he lived. Children were treated differently than they are today. That does not mean that parents did not love their children as much as parents do today. Parents loved their children because they were ...read more
