FOUR BASIC

RESPONSES TO GOD’S
TRUTH.
Mark 4:1:-20
Introduction
• Look at verse 3 again, A farmer went out to plant some seed. 4 As he
scattered it across his field…. Then in verse 14 Jesus tells us, The
farmer plants seed by taking God’s word to
others. The “seed” represents the Word of God and
the “farmer” represents anyone who shares God’s Word with others.
This means if you are giving biblical counsel to someone you are the
farmer planting God’s Word, if you are a parent talking to your child
about God’s Word you are the farmer planting God’s truth, if you are a
student talking to one of your friends about the Bible you are the farmer
planting God’s Word, if you are a missionary or pastor and you are
sharing or teaching God’s Word you are the farmer planting God’s Word.
The ground

• Let’s move into the main point of this parable. Jesus wants His
disciples and us to know that as we share the gospel and as we give
Biblical counsel and as we talk to others about the Kingdom of God it
will be received differently by different people. So, Jesus is preparing
His disciples and us today expect four basic responses to God’s
truth.
