About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of examining the condition of one's heart in relation to spiritual growth, as illustrated by the Parable of the Sower.

It is possible to sit in the presence of God, and remain unchanged. The Parable of the Sower challenges us to examine the soil of our hearts. Jesus teaches about 3 types of soils that bear no fruit and 1 that does: Hardened soil of a calloused heart, shallow soil of an emotional rollercoaster, and the crowded soil of a cluttered mind will all lead to stunted growth, and end in a fruitless life. However, a heart that is ready to hear and understand the Word of God is fertile and will bring multiplication!!! Be convinced today that God will do what He says He will do, and that it’s His Word alone that is able to produce in your life, and watch your roots grow and your fruit blossom!!!!
