The Parable of the Sower and the Seeds might better be called the Parable of soil, as the focus really ought to be on how we receive the Word of God as “good soil.” What does that mean, though, and how do we allow our hearts to be that good soil? If the adults who first heard this parable in the New Testament had a hard time understanding it, there should be no surprise if it’s tough for kids to swallow. With this message, we look at the parable itself and how it relates to our experiences today. The focus is on understanding that God works in and through us, as long as we allow Him to do so.

The parable of the sower invites us to hear God’s Word and respond to the Gospel. We can reject the good news, or get stuck in our distractions, or we can allow Scripture to impact us. The important thing to understand is that God does the work. Soil doesn’t have to work necessarily, in order to produce roots and plants that grow. In the same way, letting the Bible bless our lives is not about us, but about letting the Word influence our lives.

Passage: Matthew 13:1-23 (also found in Mark 4 and Luke 8)

Target Audience: Kindergarten-6th grade

Materials Needed: Soil; rocks; weeds; seeds; cups/pots; Bible; optional: bird toy or picture, Cheerios.

Awesome lesson for growing christians

For me as a seasoned christian I understand this, lesson but it is always a good lesson to go over again and again. I really enjoy all the parables that were taught by Jesus in his ministry on Earth but in his time He referenced ideas and thoughts that would be understood by those that were listening to Him. Today many Kids and adults don't understand them because they have no experience with the situations that Jesus used. This is where the seasoned christian come in to explain in detail what the meaning is behind the ideas that Jesus used. Be blessed and stay humble in the LORD.
