The Sower and the Soils: Hearing and Receiving the Word

Jul 13, 2025    Dr. Samuel D. Tootle III

This week’s study takes us to the foundational parable of the sower, where Jesus reveals that the same Word of God produces different results, not because the seed changes, but because the soil does. Hard hearts resist it. Shallow hearts lose it. Divided hearts choke it. But hearts made new by grace receive it and bear lasting fruit. Join us as we examine the condition of our hearts and ask: Are we just hearing, or are we truly receiving? The seed is powerful. But the soil must be ready.
