What Kind of Soil Are You Growing In?

There’s a story Jesus tells that sounds simple on the surface. A farmer. Some seeds. Four kinds of ground. It takes less than two minutes to read.

But sit with it long enough and it starts to ask you something uncomfortable: not just what kind of soil you are — but whether you’re doing anything about it.

This past Sunday at Mosaic, we spent time in Matthew 13 with the Parable of the Sower, and I want to stay in that passage a little longer here. Because I believe the question Jesus is asking doesn’t end when the service does. It follows you home. It shows up at work on Monday morning. It’s there when the week gets hard and the motivation runs dry.
