Parables of Luke: The Four Soils

Last week when we concluded the Galatians series, we paid special
attention to Paul's exhortation: "Do not grow weary of doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we don't give up."
Similarly, Jesus also used the analogy of a harvest to describe the
results of God's teaching working in our lives. In his "Parable of
the Four Soils," he warns us that there are things that can harm or
prevent that "harvest." This Sunday we identified what those things
are, and how to avoid them.
