The Invitation and Challenge to Produce

Pastor Mike McCoy, Vineyard Christian Fellowship (Concord)

The farmer has generously scattered his seed virtually everywhere. This raises a question that hangs over this parable: Will it grow and produce a crop many times what has been sown, or has the seed been wasted on unproductive soil? When I hear this parable, my first question usually is, “What kind of soil am I?” and at different times in my life the answer could be any one of the four. You may want to answer this question for yourself.
