The Stony Heart
In the parable of the sower, Jesus said, Some seed “fell on stony places where they did not have much earth, and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had not root they withered away”
In Matthew 13:15 Jesus said, “For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed” Jesus quoted this passage from Isaiah and it is still true about the hearts of many people today. Ears are hard of hearing, eyes have been closed, and hearts have grown dull.
Today, as we look at the parable of the sower that Jesus speaks of in Matthew 13, we are going to focus on the characteristics of this stony soil and how it relates to our ability to have ears to hear and eyes to see so that our heart can receive.
So we invite you to join in the conversation as we dig through the soil to uncover the stony heart.
