Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 CSB


First, we have to recognize that we have an enemy that is trying to take away everything that God has for us.


Good ground isn’t always good ground. It has to go through a process, and it has to be worked.


Matthew 13:19 CSB


1.Hard Ground- The *ground has to be *broken up, and *rocks have to be *removed.


Matthew 13:20-21 CSB


2.Shallow Ground-vOur f*aith in Jesus has to be worked up *deeper than *surface level.


Matthew 13:22 CSB


3. Over grown ground- Sometimes things *grow in our life that *choke *out what God has.


Matthew 13:23 CSB


4. Good Ground- *Good *ground is only possible in *community.


Matthew 28:18-20 CSB


You don’t sew seed in ground you haven’t purchased…


John 3:16 CSB
