The teachings of Jesus Christ
Matthew 13 : 3-8

The farmer sowed good seed, but not all the seed sprouted, and even the plants that grew had varying yields. Do not be discouraged if you do not always see results as you faithfully teach the Word. Belief cannot be forced to follow a mathematical formula. Rather it is a miracle of God’s Holy Spirit as he uses your words to lead others to him.

The teachings of Jesus Christ
John 6 : 60 – 69

Matthew 11 : 16-20

The teachings of Jesus Christ

Luke 8 : 11 – 15


Path is used here to describe people, like many of the religious leaders refuse to believe God’s message. Rock is used here to describe, like many in the crowd who followed Jesus, believed His messge but never get around to doing anything about it. Thorn patch is used here to describe people, overcome by worries and the lure of materialism, left no room in their lives for God. Good soil is used here to describe people, in contrast to all the other groups followed Jesus no matter what the cost.
