Are we truly hearing and accepting God’s Word, or are there things in our lives choking out its impact?
Continuing the Mark series, Pastor Jeff Piepho unpacks the parable of the sower found in Mark 4:1-20, asking the important question: “Are we truly capable of hearing God?” Jesus often said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear,” emphasizing that many people hear God’s words but don’t really listen or apply them.
Jeff explores the four types of soil in the parable, each representing different ways people respond to God’s truth. Whether it’s a hardened heart, shallow roots, distractions, or fertile soil that produces fruit, this message challenges us to examine our own lives. We are called to cultivate good soil so that we can grow in our faith, bear spiritual fruit, and help others come to know Jesus.
