Duane Sheriff Ministries - Messages The Mystery Of Seeds | Episode 11 | Parable Of The Sower
In the eleventh episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches that Jesus' parable of the sower from Mark chapter 4 is not just a story, but a key that unlocks our understanding of how God's Word works in our lives. The Kingdom of God operates on the principle of seedtime and harvest. God's Word is seed, and our hearts are the soil.
This foundational parable is the most important one Jesus ever taught. How we receive and nurture God's Word determines the fruit we bear in our lives. There are four types of ground where seed can fall - the wayside, stony ground, thorny ground, and good ground.
Satan seeks to steal God's Word before it can take root and bear fruit. If our hearts are like the wayside, the enemy will quickly snatch away the Word before we can fully understand it. But if we have a receptive heart and good soil, God's truth will take deep root and produce a bountiful harvest.
