Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What happens to the seed in each of the four soils?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • When someone rejects the word, how does this parable change the way you take it?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Where will you sow the word this week without deciding in advance who is good soil?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Which two or three people will you offer to read a passage with, trusting God for the thirty, sixty, and hundredfold?
