Matthew 13 Part 1

Have or Have Not (Matthew 13:1-3a; 10-17)
Rejecting the truth leads to a hard heart and inability to hear.
What callouses are on your heart as a result of selective hearing or hearing without doing?
What do you need to do, like the disciples did, in order to come back to the one who can reveal the truth to you?
How have you been bless because you hear and see the truth? Will you thank God for that blessing?

Humus or Hard Pack (Matthew 13:3b-9)
True believers hear the word, understand, and produce a crop.
What is the condition of the soil of your heart? Hard packed, rocky, thorny, or Good?
What spiritual fruit are you producing for God's kingdom?
What can you do to ensure an optimal yield?
If your heart soil is not good, will you ask God to change the condition of your heart from its current state to one that is receptive to Him?

Wheat or Weed (Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43)
Only good seed are in God's Kingdom.
What are you doing to reach the weeds around you with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
How is the fact that God is the owner of the field a comfort to you in these days of trouble?
What is it that make you certain you are wheat and not a weed? How did you get planted here?
