Mark 4:1–20

One question reveals more about your life than almost any other: what kind of soil is your heart? Jesus told a simple story about a farmer scattering seeds on four kinds of ground, and its meaning cut straight to the core of every listener.

Pastor Chuck Swindoll interprets the parable of the sower from Mark 4:1–20, where each type of soil represents a different condition of the human heart: hard, shallow, cluttered, or receptive.

Take the one journey no one can take for you and look honestly into your own heart. Test the soil of your soul and let God’s Word sink deep roots that bear lasting fruit!
