Instead, God wants us to rally around Him and His word. Rallying around Jesus will keep us Growing Together and Standing Strong. The parable is a story that Jesus tells about a farmer going to plant seed. Four different things can happen to the seed he plants. Some seed can fall along the path, where the soil is hard and the seed just sits on the top until birds come and snatch it away.
Some seed can fall on rocky ground with only a little soil.
This will mean the plants that sprout up quickly will not have long roots. They will lack endurance when the sun gets hot and they will get scorched. Some seed can fall among other plants, thorns, which will compete with the seed and the thorns may choke the plants. They will not produce much fruit. Lastly, seed will hopefully fall on good soil and thereby produce much fruit.
