The Condition of Our Heart

The Parable of the Sower relates to the hearts of mankind. This parable includes a stern warning to “consider carefully how you listen,” as Jesus reveals four conditions of the heart: the hard-hearted, half-hearted, shallow-hearted and the good-hearted. The noble and good-hearted hear the Word, retain it, and by persevering, produce abundant, good fruit.    Verses: Matt. 6:19; 13:9; Luke 8:5-18; Rom. 1:20; 1 Tim. 2-4; 6:9-10  Teacher: Mike Patten
