What Kind of Soil Are You? | Matthew 13:1-9

That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. ²  And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. ³  And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. ⁴  And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. ⁵  Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, ⁶  but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. ⁷  Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. ⁸  Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. ⁹  He who has ears, let him hear.”
