Paco has a problem. Mark 4:20 says “The seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s Word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!” His trouble is math and multiplying!

Fish explains that taking time to plant God’s Word in our hearts will always produce a lot of good things in our lives. The Word of God is fruitful, so our lives will be full of good fruit. That’s our word for today, fruitful!

You can learn more about Jesus’ story in Mark 4:8,20, “Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they sprouted, grew, and produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!” And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!””

When Paco tells Jesus’ story from Mark 4 about the farmer who planted seeds in different types of soil, he adds, “Maybe the farmer should be more careful when he scatters the seeds. Then he wouldn’t be having all these problems with the birds and the rocks and the thorns.”

Fish explains, “Paco, the point of Jesus’ teaching is not that the farmer is sloppy; it’s that our hearts are sloppy when we hear the Word of God. That’s why we need to guard our heart, to make sure that it’s always good ground.”

You can learn more about Jesus’ story in Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬, ‭18‬-‭19 NLT, “Other seed fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants so they produced no grain. The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.”

Paco tells Jesus’ story from Mark 4 about the farmer who planted seeds in different types of soil. Fish untangles Paco’s explanation like this: “Our hearts are like the soil that a farmer plants seed in. The deeper the soil, the deeper the roots can grow. The rocks represent problems. They don’t cause problems unless we let them in our hearts. Just like a farmer has to dig the rocks out of his field or they will stop the seeds from growing into strong healthy plants, we have to keep the rocks out of our hearts!” The word for today is “Rooted!”

You can learn more about Jesus’ story in Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬, ‭5‬-‭6‬, ‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬. “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seed. Other seed fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seed sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. But the plant soon wilted under the hot sun, and since it didn’t have deep roots, it died. The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s Word.”
