Passage: Luke 8:4-15
Service Type:

One field
Seed is always good, and represents ALL of God's word

1. Path
Seed easily stolen here - John 10 v 10
Possible "paths" in our lives - worry, fear, insecurity, habits, pride
Sometimes we need to "dig up the road"
Are there paths we need the Holy Spirit to dig up in our lives?

2. Rocks
Rocks stop God's word from taking root in our lives
Rocks that can choke God's word:
Doubt - Mark 9 v 24
Lack of faith - Hebrews 11 v 6
Reason - Isaiah 55 v 8-9
Peer pressure - Mark 15 v 15
Fear of man - Proverbs 29 v 25
People pleasing - John 12 v 42-43
Sometimes we need the rocks removed
Are there rocks we need the Holy Spirit to remove from our lives?
