"then he spoke many things to them in parables, saying:
00:00:38.699 --> 00:00:41.836
To them in parables, saying: 'behold, a sower went
00:00:41.902 --> 00:00:43.771
'behold, a sower went out to sow.
00:00:43.838 --> 00:00:45.506
Out to sow. and as he sowed,
00:00:45.573 --> 00:00:47.108
And as he sowed, some seed fell by wayside;
00:00:47.174 --> 00:00:49.376
Some seed fell by wayside; and the birds came
00:00:49.443 --> 00:00:50.611
And the birds came and devoured them.
00:00:50.678 --> 00:00:52.179
And devoured them. some fell on stony places,
00:00:52.246 --> 00:00:54.949
Some fell on stony places, where they did
00:00:55.015 --> 00:00:55.416
Where they did not have much earth;
00:00:55.483 --> 00:00:57.384
Not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up
00:00:57.451 --> 00:00:59.353
And they immediately sprang up because they had
00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:00.454
Because they had no depth of earth.
00:01:00.521 --> 00:01:02.223
No depth of earth. but when the sun was up,
00:01:02.289 --> 00:01:04.325
But when the sun was up, they were scorched,
00:01:04.391 --> 00:01:05.693
They were scorched, and because they had no root
00:01:05.759 --> 00:01:07.761
And because they had no root they withered away.
00:01:07.828 --> 00:01:09.363
They withered away. and some fell among thorns,
00:01:09.430 --> 00:01:12.032
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up
00:01:12.099 --> 00:01:13.968
And the thorns sprang up and choked them.
00:01:14.034 --> 00:01:15.336
And choked them. but others fell on good ground
00:01:15.402 --> 00:01:18.305
But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop:
00:01:18.372 --> 00:01:20.508
And yielded a crop: some a hundredfold,
00:01:20.574 --> 00:01:22.343
Some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
00:01:22.409 --> 00:01:26.080
Some sixty, some thirty. he who has ears to hear,
00:01:26.147 --> 00:01:29.617
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!'"
00:01:29.683 --> 00:01:32.319
Let him hear!'" in that one verse,
00:01:32.386 --> 00:01:35.089
In that one verse, that's christ extending
00:01:35.156 --> 00:01:36.190
That's christ extending the challenge to you.
00:01:36.257 --> 00:01:38.159
The challenge to you. "he who has ears to hear."
00:01:38.225 --> 00:01:41.795
"he who has ears to hear." he's saying,
00:01:41.862 --> 00:01:42.363
He's saying, "i dare you to take this seed
00:01:42.429 --> 00:01:46.133
"i dare you to take this seed into your life and grow."
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.070
Into your life and grow." let's pray.
00:01:50.137 --> 00:01:51.272
Let's pray. heavenly father,
00:01:51.338 --> 00:01:52.773
Heavenly father, what a joy and a privilege
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:53.874
What a joy and a privilege is ours to be in your presence.
00:01:53.941 --> 00:01:55.042
Is ours to be in your presence. and what we're about to hear
00:01:55.109 --> 00:01:55.776
And what we're about to hear and what we're about to receive
00:01:55.843 --> 00:01:57.411
And what we're about to receive because it comes
00:01:57.478 --> 00:01:57.778
Because it comes from the living word of god,
00:01:57.845 --> 00:01:59.113
From the living word of god, it shall not return void.
00:01:59.180 --> 00:02:01.448
It shall not return void. so, prepare our hearts
00:02:01.515 --> 00:02:02.950
So, prepare our hearts to be good ground.
00:02:03.017 --> 00:02:05.085
To be good ground. in his name, we pray.
00:02:05.152 --> 00:02:06.420
In his name, we pray. amen.
00:02:06.487 --> 00:02:07.655
Amen. you may be seated.
00:02:07.721 --> 00:02:11.458
You may be seated. so many truths lie within
00:02:11.525 --> 00:02:13.160
So many truths lie within the teachings of jesus christ
00:02:13.227 --> 00:02:14.628
The teachings of jesus christ that you don't have time
00:02:14.695 --> 00:02:16.730
That you don't have time to explore them all,
00:02:16.797 --> 00:02:17.765
To explore them all, but i want to begin
00:02:17.831 --> 00:02:19.166
But i want to begin by telling you,
00:02:19.233 --> 00:02:19.934
By telling you, based on the word of god
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.468
Based on the word of god in this chapter,
00:02:21.535 --> 00:02:22.736
In this chapter, you and i are blessed.
00:02:22.803 --> 00:02:27.041
You and i are blessed. here's where the blessing
00:02:27.107 --> 00:02:28.375
Here's where the blessing is given in this chapter,
00:02:28.442 --> 00:02:30.010
Is given in this chapter, matthew 13:16-17.
00:02:30.077 --> 00:02:34.281
Matthew 13:16-17. "blessed are your eyes
00:02:34.348 --> 00:02:36.350
"blessed are your eyes for they see,
00:02:36.417 --> 00:02:37.685
For they see, and your ears for they hear;
00:02:37.751 --> 00:02:40.788
And your ears for they hear; for assuredly, i say to you
00:02:40.854 --> 00:02:43.591
For assuredly, i say to you that many prophets
00:02:43.657 --> 00:02:44.825
That many prophets and righteous men
00:02:44.892 --> 00:02:45.759
And righteous men desired to see what you see,
00:02:45.826 --> 00:02:47.661
Desired to see what you see, and didn't see it,
00:02:47.728 --> 00:02:49.163
And didn't see it, and to hear what you hear,
00:02:49.230 --> 00:02:51.131
And to hear what you hear, and didn't hear it."
00:02:51.198 --> 00:02:53.701
And didn't hear it." jesus was telling his disciples
00:02:53.767 --> 00:02:55.803
Jesus was telling his disciples before he explained
00:02:55.869 --> 00:02:57.438
Before he explained what this parable meant
00:02:57.504 --> 00:02:59.006
What this parable meant that they were blessed
00:02:59.073 --> 00:03:00.808
That they were blessed simply because they got to hear
00:03:00.874 --> 00:03:02.076
Simply because they got to hear the word of god.
00:03:02.142 --> 00:03:04.478
The word of god. when's the last time
00:03:04.545 --> 00:03:05.346
When's the last time you came to church filled
00:03:05.412 --> 00:03:07.381
You came to church filled with expectation
00:03:07.448 --> 00:03:08.616
With expectation of being blessed
00:03:08.682 --> 00:03:09.850
Of being blessed simply because you got to hear
00:03:09.917 --> 00:03:11.919
Simply because you got to hear the word of god?
00:03:11.986 --> 00:03:14.788
The word of god? we live in a world
00:03:14.855 --> 00:03:15.723
We live in a world that is so fast paced
00:03:15.789 --> 00:03:17.124
That is so fast paced and so filled with distractions
00:03:17.191 --> 00:03:18.926
And so filled with distractions that oftentimes when we
00:03:18.993 --> 00:03:20.261
That oftentimes when we come into god's house
00:03:20.327 --> 00:03:22.162
Come into god's house and into his presence,
00:03:22.229 --> 00:03:23.864
And into his presence, we do not come,
00:03:23.931 --> 00:03:24.865
We do not come, as the bible says,
00:03:24.932 --> 00:03:26.133
As the bible says, entering in with thanksgiving
00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:27.901
Entering in with thanksgiving and entering in with praise.
00:03:27.968 --> 00:03:29.570
And entering in with praise. we often enter in confused
00:03:29.637 --> 00:03:31.772
We often enter in confused and conflicted and having
00:03:31.839 --> 00:03:33.340
And conflicted and having a struggle to focus
00:03:33.407 --> 00:03:34.908
A struggle to focus on why we're here
00:03:34.975 --> 00:03:35.776
On why we're here and what our purpose is.
00:03:35.843 --> 00:03:38.312
And what our purpose is. sometimes we come in
00:03:38.379 --> 00:03:39.179
Sometimes we come in and we're frustrated because
00:03:39.246 --> 00:03:40.247
And we're frustrated because of the things that
00:03:40.314 --> 00:03:41.582
Of the things that happened last week.
00:03:41.649 --> 00:03:42.383
Happened last week. sometimes we come in
00:03:42.449 --> 00:03:43.784
Sometimes we come in and we're anxious about
00:03:43.851 --> 00:03:44.852
And we're anxious about the things that
00:03:44.918 --> 00:03:45.419
The things that might happen next week.
00:03:45.486 --> 00:03:46.920
Might happen next week. let me tell you what you
00:03:46.987 --> 00:03:47.688
Let me tell you what you can do about last week
00:03:47.755 --> 00:03:49.056
Can do about last week and next week on sunday,
00:03:49.123 --> 00:03:50.858
And next week on sunday, nothing.
00:03:50.924 --> 00:03:52.493
Jesus shared these parables
00:03:58.098 --> 00:04:00.934
Jesus shared these parables in the context of the day
00:04:01.001 --> 00:04:02.703
In the context of the day that he was living in,
00:04:02.770 --> 00:04:04.571
That he was living in, and at this point
00:04:04.638 --> 00:04:05.205
And at this point in the history of the world
00:04:05.272 --> 00:04:06.307
In the history of the world and even up until modern times,
00:04:06.373 --> 00:04:08.242
And even up until modern times, the majority of humanity
00:04:08.309 --> 00:04:10.177
The majority of humanity was in an agrarian society,
00:04:10.244 --> 00:04:12.146
Was in an agrarian society, agriculture was how you lived.
00:04:12.212 --> 00:04:13.981
Agriculture was how you lived. if you didn't plant it,
00:04:14.048 --> 00:04:15.015
If you didn't plant it, you couldn't eat it,
00:04:15.082 --> 00:04:15.849
You couldn't eat it, if you didn't eat it,
00:04:15.916 --> 00:04:16.850
If you didn't eat it, you starved to death.
00:04:16.917 --> 00:04:18.719
You starved to death. how many of you know groceries
00:04:18.786 --> 00:04:19.687
How many of you know groceries don't grow on shelves?
00:04:19.753 --> 00:04:21.088
Don't grow on shelves? [laughter]
00:04:21.155 --> 00:04:23.357
So, when he starts to share this
00:04:25.659 --> 00:04:26.960
So, when he starts to share this principle that the sower
00:04:27.027 --> 00:04:28.529
Principle that the sower went out to sow,
00:04:28.595 --> 00:04:29.863
Went out to sow, he's talking about
00:04:29.930 --> 00:04:30.698
He's talking about someone who has seed.
00:04:30.764 --> 00:04:33.367
Someone who has seed. don't worry,
00:04:33.434 --> 00:04:34.401
Don't worry, i got this seed at a discount
00:04:34.468 --> 00:04:35.903
I got this seed at a discount 'cause it's
00:04:35.969 --> 00:04:36.603
'cause it's from last deer season.
00:04:36.670 --> 00:04:38.005
He said the sower went
00:04:40.507 --> 00:04:41.375
He said the sower went out to sow,
00:04:41.442 --> 00:04:46.447
Out to sow, and that's what jesus was,
00:04:46.513 --> 00:04:47.648
And that's what jesus was, and that's what jesus is,
00:04:47.715 --> 00:04:48.949
And that's what jesus is, and that's what jesus does.
00:04:49.016 --> 00:04:52.453
And that's what jesus does. he's the sower.
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.822
He's the sower. and when you read the bible
00:04:54.888 --> 00:04:56.790
And when you read the bible in the gospel of luke,
00:04:56.857 --> 00:04:57.691
In the gospel of luke, it says,
00:04:57.758 --> 00:04:58.425
It says, "and the word is the seed."
00:04:58.492 --> 00:05:02.629
"and the word is the seed." and the word is the seed.
00:05:02.696 --> 00:05:04.832
And the word is the seed. say that with me,
00:05:04.898 --> 00:05:06.600
Say that with me, "and the word is the seed."
00:05:06.667 --> 00:05:09.203
"and the word is the seed." oftentimes,
00:05:09.269 --> 00:05:10.070
Oftentimes, people want to argue,
00:05:10.137 --> 00:05:11.472
People want to argue, "well jesus didn't come to sow,
00:05:11.538 --> 00:05:13.006
"well jesus didn't come to sow, jesus came to condemn."
00:05:13.073 --> 00:05:14.141
Jesus came to condemn." but he didn't say
00:05:14.208 --> 00:05:14.808
But he didn't say he came to condemn,
00:05:14.875 --> 00:05:15.876
He came to condemn, he came to sow.
00:05:15.943 --> 00:05:18.579
He came to sow. when the bible says,
00:05:18.645 --> 00:05:19.146
When the bible says, "he went about doing good,"
00:05:19.213 --> 00:05:20.748
"he went about doing good," what was he doing?
00:05:20.814 --> 00:05:22.383
What was he doing? sowing.
00:05:22.449 --> 00:05:24.151
Sowing. teaching the word,
00:05:24.218 --> 00:05:25.619
Teaching the word, touching the sick,
00:05:25.686 --> 00:05:27.388
Touching the sick, delivering the captives.
00:05:27.454 --> 00:05:30.224
Delivering the captives. when the bible says that he was
00:05:30.290 --> 00:05:31.925
When the bible says that he was there to destroy the works
00:05:31.992 --> 00:05:33.427
There to destroy the works of the devil,
00:05:33.494 --> 00:05:33.994
Of the devil, what was he doing?
00:05:34.061 --> 00:05:35.529
What was he doing? sowing.
00:05:35.596 --> 00:05:37.598
Sowing. he wasn't the lord
00:05:37.664 --> 00:05:38.665
He wasn't the lord of the harvest,
00:05:38.732 --> 00:05:39.566
Of the harvest, he was the lord who was sowing.
00:05:39.633 --> 00:05:41.268
He was the lord who was sowing. when will he be lord
00:05:41.335 --> 00:05:42.403
When will he be lord of the harvest?
00:05:42.469 --> 00:05:43.237
Of the harvest? when he returns.
00:05:43.303 --> 00:05:45.572
When he returns. and the reason he'll be
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:46.340
And the reason he'll be the lord of the harvest
00:05:46.407 --> 00:05:47.074
The lord of the harvest when he returns
00:05:47.141 --> 00:05:48.142
When he returns is because this gospel,
00:05:48.208 --> 00:05:49.877
Is because this gospel, once it's preached
00:05:49.943 --> 00:05:50.811
Once it's preached to the ends of the earth,
00:05:50.878 --> 00:05:51.979
To the ends of the earth, then the end shall come.
00:05:52.045 --> 00:05:53.714
Then the end shall come. jesus, who was sowing
00:05:53.781 --> 00:05:54.982
Jesus, who was sowing when he left,
00:05:55.048 --> 00:05:56.250
When he left, what did he tell his
00:05:56.316 --> 00:05:57.050
What did he tell his disciples to do?
00:05:57.117 --> 00:05:59.052
Disciples to do? sow.
00:05:59.119 --> 00:06:00.254
Sow. go into all the world
00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:01.355
Go into all the world and take this gospel,
00:06:01.422 --> 00:06:03.190
And take this gospel, making disciples
00:06:03.257 --> 00:06:03.857
Making disciples of every nation.
00:06:03.924 --> 00:06:06.360
Of every nation. so many times,
00:06:06.427 --> 00:06:07.694
So many times, we get so worried about the seed
00:06:07.761 --> 00:06:11.765
We get so worried about the seed that we forget to sow it.
00:06:11.832 --> 00:06:14.301
That we forget to sow it. "well, if i don't put this in
00:06:14.368 --> 00:06:15.803
"well, if i don't put this in the right kind of ground," --
00:06:15.869 --> 00:06:17.004
The right kind of ground," -- jesus didn't worry about
00:06:17.070 --> 00:06:17.771
Jesus didn't worry about the ground, he just sowed.
00:06:17.838 --> 00:06:21.508
The ground, he just sowed. "well, i don't know
00:06:21.575 --> 00:06:22.242
"well, i don't know if i'm gonna have anything
00:06:22.309 --> 00:06:23.143
If i'm gonna have anything if i give what i have."
00:06:23.210 --> 00:06:25.612
If i give what i have." whatever you give,
00:06:25.679 --> 00:06:26.747
Whatever you give, to that measure it will
00:06:26.814 --> 00:06:27.381
To that measure it will be given back to you
00:06:27.448 --> 00:06:28.649
Be given back to you pressed down,
00:06:28.715 --> 00:06:29.850
Pressed down, shaken together,
00:06:29.917 --> 00:06:31.018
Shaken together, and running over.
00:06:31.084 --> 00:06:31.852
And running over. [applause]
00:06:31.919 --> 00:06:36.890
[applause] so, these are not yes
00:06:36.957 --> 00:06:38.125
So, these are not yes or no questions,
00:06:38.192 --> 00:06:38.859
Or no questions, these are amen
00:06:38.926 --> 00:06:40.394
These are amen or silent questions, okay?
00:06:40.461 --> 00:06:43.363
Or silent questions, okay? if you agree with it,
00:06:43.430 --> 00:06:44.431
If you agree with it, you say amen,
00:06:44.498 --> 00:06:45.065
You say amen, if you don't,
00:06:45.132 --> 00:06:45.466
If you don't, just stay silent
00:06:45.532 --> 00:06:46.133
Just stay silent and then everybody's gonna
00:06:46.200 --> 00:06:46.667
And then everybody's gonna look at you.
00:06:46.733 --> 00:06:47.501
Look at you. [laughter]
00:06:47.568 --> 00:06:49.736
[laughter] does the word work?
00:06:49.803 --> 00:06:51.638
Does the word work? >> congregation: amen.
00:06:51.705 --> 00:06:54.374
>> congregation: amen. pastor matt: does god keep
00:06:54.441 --> 00:06:55.676
Pastor matt: does god keep his promises?
00:06:55.742 --> 00:06:56.910
His promises? >> congregation: amen.
00:06:56.977 --> 00:07:00.047
>> congregation: amen. pastor matt: does the word
00:07:00.113 --> 00:07:01.982
Pastor matt: does the word meet the need?
00:07:02.049 --> 00:07:03.450
Meet the need? >> congregation: amen.
00:07:03.517 --> 00:07:04.651
>> congregation: amen. pastor matt: so, if the word
00:07:04.718 --> 00:07:05.452
Pastor matt: so, if the word works and god keeps his promises
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.723
Works and god keeps his promises and the word meets the need,
00:07:09.790 --> 00:07:12.593
And the word meets the need, if the word ain't
00:07:12.659 --> 00:07:14.061
If the word ain't working in your life,
00:07:14.127 --> 00:07:18.198
Working in your life, is the problem the word?
00:07:18.265 --> 00:07:20.033
Is the problem the word? >> congregation: no.
00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:21.602
>> congregation: no. pastor matt: that was right
00:07:21.668 --> 00:07:22.336
Pastor matt: that was right where you stay silent.
00:07:22.402 --> 00:07:23.170
Where you stay silent. that was --
00:07:23.237 --> 00:07:23.937
That was -- that was the silent moment.
00:07:24.004 --> 00:07:24.738
That was the silent moment. that's where --
00:07:24.805 --> 00:07:26.840
That's where -- the problem is not the seed,
00:07:26.907 --> 00:07:29.710
The problem is not the seed, the problem is the soil.
00:07:29.776 --> 00:07:32.613
The problem is the soil. i didn't say the problem
00:07:32.679 --> 00:07:33.213
I didn't say the problem was you,
00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:33.680
Was you, i said the problem is the soil.
00:07:33.747 --> 00:07:38.418
I said the problem is the soil. and we're gonna talk about how
00:07:38.485 --> 00:07:39.319
And we're gonna talk about how this soil works and what
00:07:39.386 --> 00:07:41.822
This soil works and what we have to do
00:07:41.889 --> 00:07:42.756
We have to do to prepare the ground
00:07:42.823 --> 00:07:45.359
To prepare the ground to receive the seed.
00:07:45.425 --> 00:07:48.562
To receive the seed. yes, we're saved by grace
00:07:48.629 --> 00:07:51.064
Yes, we're saved by grace but grace through faith,
00:07:51.131 --> 00:07:52.466
But grace through faith, and faith without works is what?
00:07:52.533 --> 00:07:54.535
And faith without works is what? >> congregation: dead.
00:07:54.601 --> 00:07:55.068
>> congregation: dead. pastor matt: so, when you
00:07:55.135 --> 00:07:55.936
Pastor matt: so, when you get saved by grace,
00:07:56.003 --> 00:07:56.703
Get saved by grace, you better go to work
00:07:56.770 --> 00:07:57.838
You better go to work preparing the ground
00:07:57.905 --> 00:07:58.672
Preparing the ground of your life to receive
00:07:58.739 --> 00:07:59.706
Of your life to receive the seed of the word.
00:07:59.773 --> 00:08:02.776
The seed of the word. in this parable,
00:08:02.843 --> 00:08:03.710
In this parable, jesus the sower
00:08:03.777 --> 00:08:04.645
Jesus the sower goes out to sow,
00:08:04.711 --> 00:08:06.046
Goes out to sow, and when he starts sowing,
00:08:06.113 --> 00:08:07.514
And when he starts sowing, some of the seed
00:08:07.581 --> 00:08:08.582
Some of the seed falls on the wayside.
00:08:08.649 --> 00:08:09.783
Falls on the wayside. the wayside would
00:08:09.850 --> 00:08:10.951
The wayside would be equivalent to asphalt.
00:08:11.018 --> 00:08:13.353
Be equivalent to asphalt. but when he says the seed
00:08:13.420 --> 00:08:14.521
But when he says the seed fell by the wayside,
00:08:14.588 --> 00:08:15.656
Fell by the wayside, it's saying that the seed
00:08:15.722 --> 00:08:16.690
It's saying that the seed fell in a place where
00:08:16.757 --> 00:08:17.791
Fell in a place where it's not possible for it
00:08:17.858 --> 00:08:18.959
It's not possible for it to grow because it's absolutely
00:08:19.026 --> 00:08:21.962
To grow because it's absolutely unreceptive to the power
00:08:22.029 --> 00:08:24.097
Unreceptive to the power of the word of god.
00:08:24.164 --> 00:08:25.499
Of the word of god. there are places then
00:08:25.566 --> 00:08:27.000
There are places then and there are places now
00:08:27.067 --> 00:08:27.968
And there are places now where people are unreceptive
00:08:28.035 --> 00:08:29.836
Where people are unreceptive to the word of god.
00:08:29.903 --> 00:08:31.738
To the word of god. jesus didn't worry
00:08:31.805 --> 00:08:32.906
Jesus didn't worry about the wayside,
00:08:32.973 --> 00:08:33.840
About the wayside, he just kept sowing seed.
00:08:33.907 --> 00:08:36.143
He just kept sowing seed. and it said,
00:08:36.209 --> 00:08:36.610
And it said, "and then some fell
00:08:36.677 --> 00:08:37.411
"and then some fell in a stony place where there
00:08:37.477 --> 00:08:38.612
In a stony place where there was a little bit of soil
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.013
Was a little bit of soil and there was
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:40.514
And there was a little bit of rock."
00:08:40.581 --> 00:08:41.615
A little bit of rock." and then he said,
00:08:41.682 --> 00:08:42.349
And then he said, "it fell in a thorny place
00:08:42.416 --> 00:08:43.750
"it fell in a thorny place where there was a little
00:08:43.817 --> 00:08:44.351
Where there was a little bit of soil
00:08:44.418 --> 00:08:45.352
Bit of soil and a whole lot of thorns."
00:08:45.419 --> 00:08:47.621
And a whole lot of thorns." and then the last place
00:08:47.688 --> 00:08:48.488
And then the last place that he describes
00:08:48.555 --> 00:08:49.790
That he describes is good ground.
00:08:49.856 --> 00:08:52.593
Is good ground. i wanna be good ground.
00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:55.596
I wanna be good ground. but what you have to see
00:08:55.662 --> 00:08:56.630
But what you have to see right off of the bat
00:08:56.697 --> 00:08:58.332
Right off of the bat is that four types of soil,
00:08:58.398 --> 00:09:00.567
Is that four types of soil, three don't receive,
00:09:00.634 --> 00:09:02.669
Three don't receive, one does.
00:09:02.736 --> 00:09:04.905
One does. 75% had a zero growth rate,
00:09:04.972 --> 00:09:09.476
75% had a zero growth rate, one is productive.
00:09:09.543 --> 00:09:12.746
One is productive. you say,
00:09:12.813 --> 00:09:13.146
You say, "pastor, are you saying
00:09:13.213 --> 00:09:13.880
"pastor, are you saying that only 25% of those who hear
00:09:13.947 --> 00:09:16.116
That only 25% of those who hear the word are gonna
00:09:16.183 --> 00:09:17.117
The word are gonna receive the word?"
00:09:17.184 --> 00:09:18.085
Receive the word?" what i'm saying to you is this,
00:09:18.151 --> 00:09:19.987
What i'm saying to you is this, the majority of people
00:09:20.053 --> 00:09:21.321
The majority of people who hear it don't do it.
00:09:21.388 --> 00:09:23.056
Who hear it don't do it. people don't receive the word
00:09:23.123 --> 00:09:25.359
People don't receive the word because they don't wanna give up
00:09:25.425 --> 00:09:26.426
Because they don't wanna give up what they have for the life
00:09:26.493 --> 00:09:27.728
What they have for the life that christ can give.
00:09:27.794 --> 00:09:30.063
That christ can give. jesus said,
00:09:30.130 --> 00:09:30.731
Jesus said, "my yoke is easy,
00:09:30.797 --> 00:09:32.132
"my yoke is easy, my burden is light."
00:09:32.199 --> 00:09:33.133
My burden is light." but still even now,
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.234
But still even now, men want to prove that they
00:09:34.301 --> 00:09:35.335
Men want to prove that they can live in their own terms,
00:09:35.402 --> 00:09:36.637
Can live in their own terms, in their own way,
00:09:36.703 --> 00:09:37.938
In their own way, and they walk around
00:09:38.005 --> 00:09:38.839
And they walk around carrying frustrations
00:09:38.905 --> 00:09:40.040
Carrying frustrations that god never intended
00:09:40.107 --> 00:09:41.174
That god never intended for them to carry.
00:09:41.241 --> 00:09:43.310
For them to carry. there's another group that
00:09:43.377 --> 00:09:44.411
There's another group that disqualifies the power
00:09:44.478 --> 00:09:45.646
Disqualifies the power of his word
00:09:45.712 --> 00:09:46.346
Of his word because they have more
00:09:46.413 --> 00:09:47.381
Because they have more faith in religious tradition
00:09:47.447 --> 00:09:49.182
Faith in religious tradition and denomination
00:09:49.249 --> 00:09:50.217
And denomination than they do in a relationship
00:09:50.283 --> 00:09:51.818
Than they do in a relationship with jesus christ.
00:09:51.885 --> 00:09:53.887
With jesus christ. they can spend more time quoting
00:09:53.954 --> 00:09:55.422
They can spend more time quoting to you the rules
00:09:55.489 --> 00:09:56.256
To you the rules and the regulations
00:09:56.323 --> 00:09:57.457
And the regulations of the tenets of faith
00:09:57.524 --> 00:09:58.558
Of the tenets of faith written by men,
00:09:58.625 --> 00:10:00.027
Written by men, rather than they can
00:10:00.093 --> 00:10:00.894
Rather than they can quoting the word of god
00:10:00.961 --> 00:10:01.962
Quoting the word of god that is to be hidden
00:10:02.029 --> 00:10:02.663
That is to be hidden in your heart.
00:10:02.729 --> 00:10:05.365
In your heart. christ says that there are those
00:10:05.432 --> 00:10:07.801
Christ says that there are those who disqualify him
00:10:07.868 --> 00:10:09.036
Who disqualify him and then he said there are those
00:10:09.102 --> 00:10:10.203
And then he said there are those who have, kind of,
00:10:10.270 --> 00:10:11.938
Who have, kind of, a mixed up, messed up,
00:10:12.005 --> 00:10:14.207
A mixed up, messed up, and misunderstood life.
00:10:14.274 --> 00:10:17.611
And misunderstood life. and this is a lot of folks.
00:10:17.678 --> 00:10:21.048
And this is a lot of folks. they've got two things
00:10:21.114 --> 00:10:22.449
They've got two things that don't go together.
00:10:22.516 --> 00:10:23.417
That don't go together. they've got stone
00:10:23.483 --> 00:10:25.152
They've got stone and they've got soil.
00:10:25.218 --> 00:10:29.423
And they've got soil. i'll show you what i mean.
00:10:29.489 --> 00:10:33.093
I'll show you what i mean. it's like trying to grow
00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:34.528
It's like trying to grow a garden in boerne, texas.
00:10:34.594 --> 00:10:37.364
What if the key to breakthrough
00:10:38.031 --> 00:10:39.566
Isn't something new,
00:10:39.566 --> 00:10:40.634
But something basic?
00:10:40.634 --> 00:10:42.069
Are you relentless
00:10:42.069 --> 00:10:43.136
In your pursuit of christ?
00:10:43.136 --> 00:10:44.304
Are you constantly
00:10:44.304 --> 00:10:45.238
Looking for ways to build
00:10:45.238 --> 00:10:46.373
A stronger
00:10:46.373 --> 00:10:46.873
Relationship with him?
00:10:46.873 --> 00:10:47.941
What if we started
00:10:47.941 --> 00:10:48.775
Making our day to day
00:10:48.775 --> 00:10:49.743
Faith much simpler?
00:10:49.743 --> 00:10:50.977
Read the word.
00:10:50.977 --> 00:10:51.845
Believe the word.
00:10:51.845 --> 00:10:52.746
Apply the word.
00:10:52.746 --> 00:10:53.880
It's time to get back
00:10:53.880 --> 00:10:55.182
To the basics.
00:10:55.182 --> 00:10:56.016
Christianity 101.
00:10:56.016 --> 00:10:57.751
That's why
00:10:57.751 --> 00:10:58.318
We want to invite you

00:11:29.316 --> 00:11:30.417
Mountains in your life.
00:11:30.417 --> 00:11:36.223
[loud clanking]
00:11:36.289 --> 00:11:38.225
[loud clanking] how many of you know
00:11:38.291 --> 00:11:38.825
How many of you know that's not what farmland
00:11:38.892 --> 00:11:40.127
That's not what farmland sounds like?
00:11:40.193 --> 00:11:43.697
Sounds like? but in this situation,
00:11:43.764 --> 00:11:46.233
But in this situation, there's jesus on sunday
00:11:46.299 --> 00:11:48.568
There's jesus on sunday and the world monday,
00:11:48.635 --> 00:11:49.803
And the world monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday,
00:11:49.870 --> 00:11:50.871
Tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday.
00:11:50.937 --> 00:11:54.107
Friday, saturday. and on sunday,
00:11:54.174 --> 00:11:54.875
And on sunday, what happens is
00:11:54.941 --> 00:11:55.442
What happens is a little bit of the word gets
00:11:55.509 --> 00:11:56.309
A little bit of the word gets thrown in and you go,
00:11:56.376 --> 00:11:58.378
Thrown in and you go, "man, that was good.
00:11:58.445 --> 00:11:59.446
"man, that was good. that was for me."
00:11:59.513 --> 00:12:02.916
And the seed starts going
00:12:03.016 --> 00:12:03.917
Down into the soil,
00:12:03.984 --> 00:12:05.051
But whenever it starts
00:12:05.118 --> 00:12:06.153
To take root,
00:12:06.219 --> 00:12:07.454
It runs into
00:12:07.521 --> 00:12:07.954
One of these rocks.
00:12:08.021 --> 00:12:08.722
[loud clanking]
00:12:08.789 --> 00:12:10.757
And the root can't grow
00:12:10.857 --> 00:12:11.825
And the root can't grow through or around the rocks,
00:12:11.892 --> 00:12:13.360
Through or around the rocks, so there's no structure there
00:12:13.426 --> 00:12:15.028
So there's no structure there that whenever the trial
00:12:15.095 --> 00:12:16.329
That whenever the trial and tribulations of life come
00:12:16.396 --> 00:12:17.731
And tribulations of life come and the winds of turmoil
00:12:17.798 --> 00:12:19.466
And the winds of turmoil blow against you,
00:12:19.533 --> 00:12:20.400
Blow against you, you don't have anything
00:12:20.467 --> 00:12:21.201
You don't have anything that'll hold you up
00:12:21.268 --> 00:12:21.935
That'll hold you up and you fall over.
00:12:22.002 --> 00:12:24.137
And you fall over. and then you come back into
00:12:24.204 --> 00:12:25.005
And then you come back into church on sunday and go,
00:12:25.071 --> 00:12:25.639
Church on sunday and go, "i don't know why
00:12:25.705 --> 00:12:26.573
"i don't know why i'm having so many struggles."
00:12:26.640 --> 00:12:28.542
I'm having so many struggles." [loud clanking]
00:12:28.608 --> 00:12:33.446
[loud clanking] you see, the thing that
00:12:33.513 --> 00:12:34.080
You see, the thing that you have to do
00:12:34.147 --> 00:12:35.081
You have to do when you realize that there's
00:12:35.148 --> 00:12:36.183
When you realize that there's hard places in your life,
00:12:36.249 --> 00:12:38.618
Hard places in your life, you've got to do the hard
00:12:38.685 --> 00:12:39.953
You've got to do the hard work of digging up the rocks.
00:12:40.020 --> 00:12:43.590
Work of digging up the rocks. god will plant the seed,
00:12:43.657 --> 00:12:44.991
God will plant the seed, but you've got
00:12:45.058 --> 00:12:45.759
But you've got to prepare the ground.
00:12:45.826 --> 00:12:48.461
To prepare the ground. so, when that seed comes
00:12:48.528 --> 00:12:49.963
So, when that seed comes into your life
00:12:50.030 --> 00:12:51.131
Into your life and you receive it with joy,
00:12:51.198 --> 00:12:52.199
And you receive it with joy, don't be afraid to get down
00:12:52.265 --> 00:12:53.667
Here and dig up those
00:12:53.767 --> 00:12:58.438
Here and dig up those old habits.
00:12:58.505 --> 00:13:01.074
Some of y'all have
00:13:01.174 --> 00:13:01.908
Some of y'all have some challenges,
00:13:01.975 --> 00:13:05.812
Some challenges, you know.
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:06.913
[loud clanking]
00:13:07.013 --> 00:13:08.381
[loud clanking] minding your own business.
00:13:08.448 --> 00:13:13.753
Some of y'all gotta dig
00:13:13.854 --> 00:13:15.922
Some of y'all gotta dig up some old offenses.
00:13:15.989 --> 00:13:19.392
Up some old offenses. you can't remember
00:13:19.459 --> 00:13:20.560
You can't remember what happened five minutes ago,
00:13:20.627 --> 00:13:21.895
What happened five minutes ago, but you can remember
00:13:21.962 --> 00:13:22.762
But you can remember with detail what happened
00:13:22.829 --> 00:13:23.964
With detail what happened 15 years ago.
00:13:24.030 --> 00:13:27.767
15 years ago. why?
00:13:27.834 --> 00:13:29.803
Why? because you're holding on
00:13:29.870 --> 00:13:31.238
Because you're holding on to something that's keeping
00:13:31.304 --> 00:13:31.805
To something that's keeping god's word from growing.
00:13:31.872 --> 00:13:34.474
God's word from growing. and then the longer you think
00:13:34.541 --> 00:13:35.442
And then the longer you think about that offense,
00:13:35.508 --> 00:13:36.409
About that offense, it leads you to another rock.
00:13:36.476 --> 00:13:38.144
It leads you to another rock. how many of you know that rocks
00:13:38.211 --> 00:13:39.179
How many of you know that rocks get stacked up on each other?
00:13:39.246 --> 00:13:41.615
Get stacked up on each other? anger.
00:13:41.681 --> 00:13:43.250
Anger. now, not you,
00:13:43.316 --> 00:13:43.750
Now, not you, but anybody know somebody
00:13:43.817 --> 00:13:44.651
But anybody know somebody that deals with anger?
00:13:44.718 --> 00:13:47.120
That deals with anger? yeah.
00:13:47.187 --> 00:13:47.554
Yeah. you mad about having
00:13:47.621 --> 00:13:48.021
You mad about having to raise your hand.
00:13:48.088 --> 00:13:48.555
To raise your hand. "i don't know why
00:13:48.622 --> 00:13:49.089
"i don't know why he's going there.
00:13:49.155 --> 00:13:50.056
He's going there. [laughter]
00:13:50.123 --> 00:13:51.591
[laughter] [loud clanking]
00:13:51.658 --> 00:13:52.292
[loud clanking] then you go home,
00:13:52.359 --> 00:13:53.360
Then you go home, and you start scrolling through
00:13:53.426 --> 00:13:54.527
And you start scrolling through stuff and all of a sudden,
00:13:54.594 --> 00:13:56.129
Stuff and all of a sudden, they send you a picture
00:13:56.196 --> 00:13:57.097
They send you a picture that you didn't wanna see but
00:13:57.163 --> 00:13:57.998
That you didn't wanna see but you saw it anyway and oops.
00:13:58.064 --> 00:14:01.801
You saw it anyway and oops. you see, jesus said this,
00:14:01.868 --> 00:14:04.137
You see, jesus said this, "if you look at a woman
00:14:04.204 --> 00:14:05.205
"if you look at a woman with lust in your heart,"
00:14:05.272 --> 00:14:07.374
With lust in your heart," moses said you actually
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:08.742
Moses said you actually have to touch her,
00:14:08.808 --> 00:14:10.777
Have to touch her, jesus said "just look."
00:14:10.844 --> 00:14:15.048
Jesus said "just look." and only when you've
00:14:15.115 --> 00:14:16.316
And only when you've done the work of digging up
00:14:16.383 --> 00:14:19.185
Done the work of digging up the hard places
00:14:19.252 --> 00:14:20.186
The hard places in your life and saying,
00:14:20.253 --> 00:14:21.021
In your life and saying, "god, there's nothing in me
00:14:21.087 --> 00:14:23.023
"god, there's nothing in me that i want more
00:14:23.089 --> 00:14:23.857
That i want more than i want you.
00:14:23.924 --> 00:14:25.892
Than i want you. god, search me and know me.
00:14:25.959 --> 00:14:27.594
God, search me and know me. try me and see if there's
00:14:27.661 --> 00:14:29.429
Try me and see if there's anything that separates
00:14:29.496 --> 00:14:30.997
Anything that separates me from you.
00:14:31.064 --> 00:14:32.098
Me from you. don't let me separate myself
00:14:32.165 --> 00:14:34.868
Don't let me separate myself from what you want
00:14:34.935 --> 00:14:35.635
From what you want to do in my life."
00:14:35.702 --> 00:14:36.603
To do in my life." only when your life has
00:14:36.670 --> 00:14:38.071
Only when your life has been prepared like that,
00:14:38.138 --> 00:14:39.506
Been prepared like that, then the sower comes by to sow
00:14:39.572 --> 00:14:42.175
Then the sower comes by to sow and suddenly you
00:14:42.242 --> 00:14:43.243
And suddenly you can start to grow
00:14:43.310 --> 00:14:44.511
Can start to grow pressed down, shaken together,
00:14:44.577 --> 00:14:46.646
Pressed down, shaken together, running over,
00:14:46.713 --> 00:14:47.981
Running over, 100, 60, 30-fold.
00:14:48.048 --> 00:14:51.551
100, 60, 30-fold. why?
00:14:51.618 --> 00:14:52.719
Why? because you dug up the rocks
00:14:52.786 --> 00:14:56.156
Because you dug up the rocks and the ground is ready.
00:14:56.222 --> 00:14:58.992
And the ground is ready. jesus talks about
00:14:59.059 --> 00:14:59.793
Jesus talks about a third kind of ground.
00:14:59.859 --> 00:15:00.961
A third kind of ground. he talks about the thorny soil.
00:15:01.027 --> 00:15:04.030
He talks about the thorny soil. later in this chapter,
00:15:04.097 --> 00:15:05.532
Later in this chapter, he's explaining that
00:15:05.598 --> 00:15:08.101
He's explaining that the thorny soil represents
00:15:08.168 --> 00:15:09.436
The thorny soil represents those who receive the word,
00:15:09.502 --> 00:15:12.505
Those who receive the word, but have you ever noticed how
00:15:12.572 --> 00:15:13.473
But have you ever noticed how fast thorns can grow?
00:15:13.540 --> 00:15:16.710
Fast thorns can grow? i mean, you can't grow grass
00:15:16.776 --> 00:15:18.144
I mean, you can't grow grass in half of this state,
00:15:18.211 --> 00:15:19.212
In half of this state, but you can grow thorns
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:20.146
But you can grow thorns in a parking lot.
00:15:20.213 --> 00:15:23.917
In a parking lot. and what he said about thorns is
00:15:23.984 --> 00:15:25.819
And what he said about thorns is that thorns represented people
00:15:25.885 --> 00:15:27.420
That thorns represented people who crave the things
00:15:27.487 --> 00:15:28.455
Who crave the things of this world
00:15:28.521 --> 00:15:29.289
Of this world more than they crave god.
00:15:29.356 --> 00:15:32.559
More than they crave god. and the word is used,
00:15:32.625 --> 00:15:34.027
And the word is used, "riches of this world."
00:15:34.094 --> 00:15:35.428
"riches of this world." you need to understand,
00:15:35.495 --> 00:15:36.363
You need to understand, god's currency
00:15:36.429 --> 00:15:37.897
God's currency is not our currency.
00:15:37.964 --> 00:15:39.532
Is not our currency. we hear, "riches"
00:15:39.599 --> 00:15:40.200
We hear, "riches" we think gold,
00:15:40.266 --> 00:15:41.301
We think gold, he hears "gold,"
00:15:41.368 --> 00:15:42.402
He hears "gold," he thinks asphalt.
00:15:42.469 --> 00:15:46.239
He thinks asphalt. what he considers
00:15:46.306 --> 00:15:47.273
What he considers to be a currency is your love
00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:49.609
To be a currency is your love and your trust.
00:15:49.676 --> 00:15:52.479
And your trust. love the lord your god
00:15:52.545 --> 00:15:53.546
Love the lord your god with all of your heart,
00:15:53.613 --> 00:15:54.314
With all of your heart, with all of your soul,
00:15:54.381 --> 00:15:55.081
With all of your soul, with all of your mind,
00:15:55.148 --> 00:15:55.915
With all of your mind, with all of your strength.
00:15:55.982 --> 00:15:56.916
With all of your strength. trust in the lord with all
00:15:56.983 --> 00:15:58.385
Trust in the lord with all of your heart,
00:15:58.451 --> 00:15:59.419
Of your heart, with all of your mind,
00:15:59.486 --> 00:16:00.320
With all of your mind, lean not to your
00:16:00.387 --> 00:16:01.021
Lean not to your own understanding.
00:16:01.087 --> 00:16:02.155
Own understanding. his currency is love
00:16:02.222 --> 00:16:03.423
His currency is love and his currency is trust.
00:16:03.490 --> 00:16:06.159
And his currency is trust. so, when he says,
00:16:06.226 --> 00:16:07.394
So, when he says, "riches of this world,"
00:16:07.460 --> 00:16:08.762
"riches of this world," he's saying the things
00:16:08.828 --> 00:16:09.929
He's saying the things that you love more than him
00:16:09.996 --> 00:16:12.298
That you love more than him and the things that
00:16:12.365 --> 00:16:12.999
And the things that you trust more than him.
00:16:13.066 --> 00:16:16.169
You trust more than him. this is where the thorns
00:16:16.236 --> 00:16:17.437
This is where the thorns come up and choke the seed.
00:16:17.504 --> 00:16:20.373
Come up and choke the seed. the reason that i bring this up
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:21.608
The reason that i bring this up is because people will
00:16:21.674 --> 00:16:22.709
Is because people will take a text like that
00:16:22.776 --> 00:16:23.543
Take a text like that out of context,
00:16:23.610 --> 00:16:24.611
Out of context, and they'll say, "god does
00:16:24.677 --> 00:16:25.612
And they'll say, "god does not like prosperity."
00:16:25.678 --> 00:16:27.247
Not like prosperity." that's not true.
00:16:27.313 --> 00:16:29.783
That's not true. if god didn't like prosperity,
00:16:29.849 --> 00:16:31.584
If god didn't like prosperity, why would he tell his disciples,
00:16:31.651 --> 00:16:33.053
Why would he tell his disciples, "seek first the kingdom of god
00:16:33.119 --> 00:16:34.621
"seek first the kingdom of god and then all of these things
00:16:34.687 --> 00:16:36.289
And then all of these things will be added to you."
00:16:36.356 --> 00:16:37.924
Will be added to you." what would be added?
00:16:37.991 --> 00:16:39.159
What would be added? where you eat,
00:16:39.225 --> 00:16:40.226
Where you eat, what you wear.
00:16:40.293 --> 00:16:41.094
What you wear. what are those?
00:16:41.161 --> 00:16:41.995
What are those? possessions.
00:16:42.062 --> 00:16:42.829
Possessions. why would god promise you
00:16:42.896 --> 00:16:44.664
Why would god promise you possessions if he was
00:16:44.731 --> 00:16:45.398
Possessions if he was against possessions?
00:16:45.465 --> 00:16:48.401
Against possessions? proverbs 3, it says,
00:16:48.468 --> 00:16:50.270
Proverbs 3, it says, "trust in the lord
00:16:50.336 --> 00:16:51.037
"trust in the lord with all of your heart,
00:16:51.104 --> 00:16:51.805
With all of your heart, lean not to your
00:16:51.871 --> 00:16:52.372
Lean not to your own understanding,
00:16:52.439 --> 00:16:53.506
Own understanding, in all of your ways
00:16:53.573 --> 00:16:54.140
In all of your ways acknowledge him
00:16:54.207 --> 00:16:54.774
Acknowledge him and he will direct your path."
00:16:54.841 --> 00:16:56.476
And he will direct your path." you get to verse 10,
00:16:56.543 --> 00:16:57.610
You get to verse 10, it says,
00:16:57.677 --> 00:16:58.178
It says, "if you live a life like this,
00:16:58.244 --> 00:16:59.946
"if you live a life like this, your barns will be bursting."
00:17:00.013 --> 00:17:03.583
Your barns will be bursting." how many of you see
00:17:03.650 --> 00:17:04.417
How many of you see prosperity in that?
00:17:04.484 --> 00:17:06.920
Prosperity in that? "and your vats will overflow."
00:17:06.986 --> 00:17:10.090
"and your vats will overflow." wine was valuable.
00:17:10.156 --> 00:17:11.758
Wine was valuable. why would he give you something
00:17:11.825 --> 00:17:13.126
Why would he give you something valuable if he was
00:17:13.193 --> 00:17:14.294
Valuable if he was against valuable?
00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:17.230
Against valuable? that's not the god of the bible.
00:17:17.297 --> 00:17:19.599
That's not the god of the bible. but when you love something
00:17:19.666 --> 00:17:20.800
But when you love something more than him,
00:17:20.867 --> 00:17:21.935
More than him, whatever that is,
00:17:22.001 --> 00:17:23.236
Whatever that is, it's a thorn in your flesh
00:17:23.303 --> 00:17:24.704
It's a thorn in your flesh and you've gotta dig it up.
00:17:24.771 --> 00:17:28.575
And you've gotta dig it up. it's not a matter of amount,
00:17:28.641 --> 00:17:30.443
It's not a matter of amount, it's a matter of trust.
00:17:30.510 --> 00:17:32.912
It's a matter of trust. and trust me,
00:17:32.979 --> 00:17:33.580
And trust me, god knows the threshold
00:17:33.646 --> 00:17:36.683
God knows the threshold and the limitation
00:17:36.749 --> 00:17:37.684
And the limitation of what you can have before
00:17:37.750 --> 00:17:39.185
Of what you can have before you stop trusting him.
00:17:39.252 --> 00:17:41.387
You stop trusting him. there are some people that
00:17:41.454 --> 00:17:42.222
There are some people that god can't trust
00:17:42.288 --> 00:17:43.089
God can't trust with a hundred bucks,
00:17:43.156 --> 00:17:45.892
With a hundred bucks, and there's other people
00:17:45.959 --> 00:17:46.559
And there's other people that he can trust
00:17:46.626 --> 00:17:47.260
That he can trust with a hundred million.
00:17:47.327 --> 00:17:49.696
With a hundred million. why?
00:17:49.762 --> 00:17:50.897
Why? because it's not an amount,
00:17:50.964 --> 00:17:53.099
Because it's not an amount, it's a matter of trust.
00:17:53.166 --> 00:17:55.301
It's a matter of trust. but then jesus said
00:17:55.368 --> 00:17:56.469
But then jesus said that there was one kind of soil,
00:17:56.536 --> 00:17:58.671
That there was one kind of soil, and it was good ground.
00:17:58.738 --> 00:18:03.309
And it was good ground. how many of you wanna
00:18:03.376 --> 00:18:04.010
How many of you wanna be good ground?
00:18:04.077 --> 00:18:07.847
Be good ground? one of the challenges that
00:18:07.914 --> 00:18:08.648
One of the challenges that people face when it comes
00:18:08.715 --> 00:18:09.782
People face when it comes to being good ground
00:18:09.849 --> 00:18:11.317
To being good ground is that they plant
00:18:11.384 --> 00:18:11.784
Is that they plant a seed on sunday,
00:18:11.851 --> 00:18:13.253
A seed on sunday, and they're upset 'cause
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:14.120
And they're upset 'cause nothing's growing by tuesday.
00:18:14.187 --> 00:18:17.357
Nothing's growing by tuesday. i mean, they were gonna give god
00:18:17.423 --> 00:18:18.258
I mean, they were gonna give god monday but come on.
00:18:18.324 --> 00:18:21.928
Monday but come on. i need to break through
00:18:21.995 --> 00:18:22.896
I need to break through right now.
00:18:22.962 --> 00:18:24.931
Right now. in another parable
00:18:24.998 --> 00:18:26.866
In another parable in the gospel of mark,
00:18:26.933 --> 00:18:30.303
In the gospel of mark, jesus shared a principle
00:18:30.370 --> 00:18:31.804
Jesus shared a principle about seed.
00:18:31.871 --> 00:18:32.472
About seed. he said the kingdom is like a
00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:34.541
He said the kingdom is like a farmer who sowed
00:18:34.607 --> 00:18:36.910
Farmer who sowed and then went to sleep.
00:18:36.976 --> 00:18:38.978
And then went to sleep. and when he woke up,
00:18:39.045 --> 00:18:41.247
And when he woke up, he saw the seed
00:18:41.314 --> 00:18:42.549
He saw the seed that it had sprouted,
00:18:42.615 --> 00:18:44.384
That it had sprouted, and he knew not where
00:18:44.450 --> 00:18:45.785
And he knew not where it came from.
00:18:45.852 --> 00:18:47.954
It came from. he said,
00:18:48.021 --> 00:18:48.454
He said, "the seed should sprout
00:18:48.521 --> 00:18:50.256
"the seed should sprout and grow, but he himself
00:18:50.323 --> 00:18:52.158
And grow, but he himself does not know how."
00:18:52.225 --> 00:18:55.495
Does not know how." why?
00:18:55.562 --> 00:18:57.130
Why? because your job is to sow,
00:18:57.197 --> 00:18:59.999
Because your job is to sow, god's job is to grow.
00:19:00.066 --> 00:19:03.469
God's job is to grow. he knows when you're going
00:19:03.536 --> 00:19:05.138
He knows when you're going to need it,
00:19:05.205 --> 00:19:07.106
To need it, he knows when that harvest
00:19:07.173 --> 00:19:09.342
He knows when that harvest that you sowed should show up.
00:19:09.409 --> 00:19:12.579
That you sowed should show up. so, let me ask you this,
00:19:12.645 --> 00:19:14.214
So, let me ask you this, how long have you been sowing?
00:19:14.280 --> 00:19:18.318
How long have you been sowing? how long have you
00:19:18.384 --> 00:19:20.920
How long have you been spreading the seed?
00:19:20.987 --> 00:19:24.524
Been spreading the seed? the word works even
00:19:24.591 --> 00:19:26.993
The word works even when you don't see it.
00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:29.696
When you don't see it. the longer you sow,
00:19:29.762 --> 00:19:32.799
The longer you sow, the more you grow.
00:19:32.865 --> 00:19:36.002
The more you grow. what do i mean?
00:19:36.069 --> 00:19:39.072
What do i mean? the longer you plant,
00:19:39.138 --> 00:19:42.008
The longer you plant, the more you can
00:19:42.075 --> 00:19:42.775
The more you can expect a harvest.
00:19:42.842 --> 00:19:46.846
Expect a harvest. a lot of people obsess
00:19:46.913 --> 00:19:49.382
A lot of people obsess about seed,
00:19:49.449 --> 00:19:51.484
About seed, "i'm gonna give a little
00:19:51.551 --> 00:19:52.719
"i'm gonna give a little and i'm gonna expect a lot."
00:19:52.785 --> 00:19:55.855
And i'm gonna expect a lot." but what you need to know
00:19:55.922 --> 00:19:56.923
But what you need to know is if what you want is a lot,
00:19:56.990 --> 00:19:58.157
Is if what you want is a lot, then you better sow
00:19:58.224 --> 00:20:00.226
Then you better sow and keep sowing,
00:20:00.293 --> 00:20:01.828
And keep sowing, and keep sowing,
00:20:01.894 --> 00:20:03.463
And keep sowing, and keep sowing.
00:20:03.529 --> 00:20:04.631
And keep sowing. you say,
00:20:04.697 --> 00:20:05.231
You say, "i don't feel anything growing."
00:20:05.298 --> 00:20:06.566
"i don't feel anything growing." keep sowing,
00:20:06.633 --> 00:20:07.900
Keep sowing, and keep sowing,
00:20:07.967 --> 00:20:09.235
And keep sowing, and keep sowing,
00:20:09.302 --> 00:20:11.137
And keep sowing, and keep sowing.
00:20:11.204 --> 00:20:13.773
And keep sowing. you say,
00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:14.173
You say, "i don't see what i want."
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:15.375
"i don't see what i want." keep sowing,
00:20:15.441 --> 00:20:17.043
Keep sowing, and keep sowing,
00:20:17.110 --> 00:20:18.811
And keep sowing, and keep sowing."
00:20:18.878 --> 00:20:21.080
And keep sowing." you say,
00:20:21.147 --> 00:20:21.481
You say, "but the business hasn't
00:20:21.547 --> 00:20:21.981
"but the business hasn't turned around."
00:20:22.048 --> 00:20:23.182
Turned around." keep sowing,
00:20:23.249 --> 00:20:24.550
Keep sowing, and keep sowing,
00:20:24.617 --> 00:20:25.952
And keep sowing, and keep sowing,
00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:27.520
And keep sowing, and keep sowing.
00:20:27.587 --> 00:20:28.388
And keep sowing. "but my kids still
00:20:28.454 --> 00:20:29.355
"but my kids still won't come to church."
00:20:29.422 --> 00:20:30.556
Won't come to church." then keep sowing,
00:20:30.623 --> 00:20:32.125
Then keep sowing, and keep sowing,
00:20:32.191 --> 00:20:33.393
And keep sowing, and keep sowing.
00:20:33.459 --> 00:20:34.827
And keep sowing. "but my husband,
00:20:34.894 --> 00:20:35.828
"but my husband, he don't like the word of god."
00:20:35.895 --> 00:20:37.297
He don't like the word of god." but keep sowing,
00:20:37.363 --> 00:20:38.364
But keep sowing, and keep sowing,
00:20:38.431 --> 00:20:39.799
And keep sowing, and keep sowing,
00:20:39.866 --> 00:20:41.067
And keep sowing, and keep sowing.
00:20:41.134 --> 00:20:42.035
And keep sowing. why?
00:20:42.101 --> 00:20:42.602
Why? because the more you sow,
00:20:42.669 --> 00:20:45.405
Because the more you sow, the more you grow.
00:20:45.471 --> 00:20:49.075
The more you grow. what do i mean?
00:20:49.142 --> 00:20:52.745
What do i mean? i'm the sixth generation
00:20:52.812 --> 00:20:57.083
I'm the sixth generation of a harvest.
00:20:57.150 --> 00:21:01.154
Of a harvest. i'm receiving a harvest
00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:03.656
I'm receiving a harvest in my life from seeds
00:21:03.723 --> 00:21:05.758
In my life from seeds that were sown by people
00:21:05.825 --> 00:21:07.226
That were sown by people i won't ever get to meet
00:21:07.293 --> 00:21:08.328
I won't ever get to meet until i get to heaven.
00:21:08.394 --> 00:21:11.264
Until i get to heaven. six generations
00:21:11.331 --> 00:21:12.665
Six generations of faithfulness in my family.
00:21:12.732 --> 00:21:15.601
Of faithfulness in my family. and you say,
00:21:15.668 --> 00:21:16.402
And you say, "well, that's not my story."
00:21:16.469 --> 00:21:18.004
"well, that's not my story." but you could be
00:21:18.071 --> 00:21:18.871
But you could be the first of seven.
00:21:18.938 --> 00:21:20.807
The first of seven. [applause]
00:21:20.873 --> 00:21:22.008
It has to start somewhere.
00:21:25.244 --> 00:21:29.015
It has to start somewhere. why not with you?
00:21:29.082 --> 00:21:30.950
Why not with you? why not here?
00:21:31.017 --> 00:21:31.784
Why not here? why not now?
00:21:31.851 --> 00:21:33.886
Why not now? stop worrying about the seed,
00:21:33.953 --> 00:21:35.888
Stop worrying about the seed, stop worrying about the soil
00:21:35.955 --> 00:21:38.024
Stop worrying about the soil and just sow something.
00:21:38.091 --> 00:21:43.896
And just sow something. six generations of my family
00:21:43.963 --> 00:21:45.998
Six generations of my family have been sowing the seeds
00:21:46.065 --> 00:21:47.900
Have been sowing the seeds of the gospel.
00:21:47.967 --> 00:21:48.601
Of the gospel. they came here to declare
00:21:48.668 --> 00:21:50.203
They came here to declare the good news of jesus christ.
00:21:50.269 --> 00:21:52.138
The good news of jesus christ. they didn't have any idea that
00:21:52.205 --> 00:21:54.674
They didn't have any idea that when they started sowing seeds
00:21:54.741 --> 00:21:56.776
When they started sowing seeds hundreds of years ago
00:21:56.843 --> 00:21:58.478
Hundreds of years ago that somehow the root
00:21:58.544 --> 00:21:59.946
That somehow the root of that plant
00:22:00.012 --> 00:22:01.080
Of that plant was going to dig down deep
00:22:01.147 --> 00:22:02.281
Was going to dig down deep in the soil
00:22:02.348 --> 00:22:03.249
In the soil and find its way into
00:22:03.316 --> 00:22:04.817
And find its way into the heart of a young lady
00:22:04.884 --> 00:22:05.885
The heart of a young lady in east texas
00:22:05.952 --> 00:22:07.120
In east texas who loved god
00:22:07.186 --> 00:22:08.087
Who loved god with all of her heart,
00:22:08.154 --> 00:22:08.988
With all of her heart, with all of her soul,
00:22:09.055 --> 00:22:10.189
With all of her soul, and with all of her strength,
00:22:10.256 --> 00:22:11.257
And with all of her strength, and whenever he gifted her
00:22:11.324 --> 00:22:13.126
And whenever he gifted her with the ability to share
00:22:13.192 --> 00:22:14.494
