Parables
Mark 4:1-34

What experience do you have planting seed? Do you have a green thumb? Do things you plant struggle?

How are Jesus’ words like seed?

What kinds of things are “scorching sun” in your faith journey?

What kinds of thorns/worries have you experienced in your faith journey?

DO: Commit to doing something every day to tend the seeds God has planted in you. For example: spend at least 15 minutes in prayer each day, read the Bible daily, seek out another Christian to talk about your faith journey.
