Session 1 · The sower — why parables at all?

📖 Mark 4:1-20 · Open with Ruth →
  1. Jesus explains WHY he teaches in parables (v10-12) — and it's not 'to make things simple.' What do parables do that plain statements can't?
  2. Four soils, one seed. Which soil is your season right now — and what does the parable say the thorns actually are (v19)?
  3. The sower scatters everywhere, even on the path. What does that wastefulness say about how God speaks?
🙏 Sower of the word, break up my path, pull my thorns — make me soil that holds.
