BIG IDEA: The condition of our heart determines how we receive and respond to the Word of God.
THE WORD IS SOWN GENEROUSLY (vv. 1-9)
The sower scatters without discrimination.
The seed is the Word of God.
THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM REVEALS AND CONCEALS (vv. 10–12)
Truth is given to those who seek it.
Hardness causes truth to be missed.
FOUR HEART RESPONSES TO THE WORD (vv. 13–20)
The hard heart rejects the Word.
The shallow heart abandons the Word.
The divided heart crowds out the Word.
The fertile heart bears fruit from the Word.
