​Parable of the Sower

You may have heard the Gospel, but has the Word of God truly taken root in your life?  Did you initially receive the Word with joy that may have gotten you through a hard time, or did the good news truly penetrate to the depths of your soul?  And just as importantly, even if the Word did deeply penetrate your heart, has your life truly born fruit?  Or have the cares of this world choked out your time, desire and ability to share the Gospel with a lost and hurting world, desperately in need of Jesus Christ?
