NOTES:


QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER STUDY

• Jesus often used stories to teach deep truth. What’s one story (from

a movie, book, or real life) that stuck with you and changed how you

think?

Read Matthew 13:1-23

• What are some things that have been an important part of your

growth as a follower of Christ? Explain what the seed is in the parable

and why it matters.

• What is God’s responsibility in our growth? Who is the sower and

what is their responsibility? What is your responsibility?

• Why do emotions alone not sustain spiritual growth? Can you think of

a time when difficulty revealed how deep (or shallow) your roots were?

• What are some “weeds” that tend to choke out God’s Word in your

life (worry, pleasure, money, approval, etc.)? What practical step can

you take this week to begin clearing that soil?

• How can we cultivate a receptive heart? What daily practices have

helped you stay rooted in God’s Word?

• Which “soil” do you most identify with right now, and why?

• Challenge: Will you commit to spending five minutes a day in the

Word and prayer this week? If so, what time of day will you do it—and

how can we as a group help keep each other accountable?


QUESTIONS FOR PERSONAL REFLECTION & APPLICATION

• Jesus said the seed produces fruit in good soil. What does spiritual

“fruit” look like in your life right now? Where would you like to see more

fruit?

• What’s one step you can take this week to prepare the soil of your

heart (e.g., start a reading plan, journal, join a group, serve someone?)
