FAMILY THEME: THE WORD

THE SOWER SOWS THE WORD

Mark 4

Jesus used the parable of the sower to explain the various ways

people respond to the Word.

1. Jesus Used Common Events to Teach Uncommon Truth 

     (Mark 4:1 - 9)

     Jesus used things common to His culture, such as farming,

     to drive home His teaching.

 
2.  Jesus Told Parables to Reveal and Conceal Truth

     (Mark 4:10 - 12) 

     It is a mistake to say Jesus' use of parables was a way to

     make it easier to relate to the truth.

 
3.  People Will Respond to the Word in One of Four Ways

     (Mark 4:13 - 20)

     Different people respond to the Word in different ways.
