What happens when we hear the Word?

Path – hardened by many feet packing down the dirt.

Fruitful soil.
Reflect: what kind of heart do you have?
If you want to know Jesus, you have to follow Jesus. There’s no casual relationship with
Jesus! It’s all or nothing. Those who know Him will know the
kingdom. Those who don’t know Him, who
are only curious about Him, won’t understand spiritual truth.
We don’t get to judge God’s Word. God’s Word judges us.
Believing means seeing.
If we do not turn our beliefs into practice, they will
not soon be our beliefs. – Alexander McLaren
Those with no root will flee when testing comes.
Most Christians are unfruitful. James 1:22.
v. 21 - You must be filled often to be a light-bearer –
just like a lamp. Oil is indicative of
the Holy Spirit.
Just like the Israelites couldn’t store manna, we need a
constant infusion of God’s Word!
Get alone with Jesus!
When you want to hear from the Lord, you cannot be distracted.
Jesus will explain what He wants you to know.
Whenever you take a teaching in, you know there will be a
test. If you’re given a test, God has
equipped you to deal with it. He expects
you to pass.
Fear and faith cannot live in the same heart.
