How You Hear Determines How You Harvest
Mark 4:1-20
Pastor Jon Knapp

 1.  the Word

As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. (Mark 4:15)

  • He wants to steal your  
  • He wants to steal your  
  • He wants to steal your  

 2.  the Word

Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. The thing with the next seed was, it didn’t get stolen but it didn’t find deep roots. (Mark 4:16-17)

 3.  on the Word

Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful (Mark 4:18-19).

Series Information

Leading up to Easter Sunday, we take a look at the ministry of Jesus as presented in the Gospel of Mark.  In order to better understand his identity, mission and calling, we stop at various points along the journey to the cross.  Each one allows us to focus on a particular aspect of who Jesus was and what He came to accomplish.
