Parables of Jesus Study Guide #1 (Parable of the Sower / Soils)



Begin with the song "Lord, Let My Heart Be Good Soil"

Share  your Highs and Lows for the week or since your last meeting

Read  the Lesson (Matthew 13: 1-23)

Talk  and discuss among the following questions:

1) What image / person / situation stood out to you in the story and why? What did it make you feel or understand about God?

2) What is required to keep soil healthy? What can keep your relationship with Christ healthy?

3)  Think about the seeds that fall among the weeds.  What are the "weeds" in your life? What can you do to help remove the weeds?

4)  Look again at the different soils.  Consider your own relationship with Christ.  Being transparent with God, what kind of soil do you feel like today? Over the last year?

5)  What is one small thing (or big thing) that you can do today/this week/this month/this year to get healthier soil in your life?  What commitment are you willing to take today?

Pray  with and for each other (you can use the Lord's Prayer or sing the Doxology)

Bless each other by making the sign of the cross on each other's forehead and saying "The Lord Bless You and Keep You!"
