THE CHRONICLES OF THE SEED In the Gospel of Mark, the fourth chapter, Jesus asked two questions that should have stopped us in our tracks. However for years I read right past this without a second thought. Jesus asked his disciples the following questions when they wanted an explanation about the parable of the sower. "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?" It was as if Jesus said STOP! Do not go any farther until you completely understand the essence of the parable of the sower. Just before this Jesus says "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables", suggesting that this is a great mystery that is not for everybody, but you (His disciples) have the privilege of knowing and understanding this mystery. Finally He gives the key to this great mystery, "The sower soweth the Word". In other words, the Word is 'The Seed'. The Word is the Seed that all other seeds proceed from. The Word of God was here before any other seed. John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".
In the Gospel of Mark, the fourth chapter, Jesus asked two questions that should have stopped us in our tracks. Jesus asked his disciples the following questions when they wanted an explanation about the parable of the sower. "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?"
Throughout the scriptures we find Jesus teaching in parables. Fortunately for us, when He was alone with His disciples, He spent time explaining them. The things He taught were Kingdom principles. By looking at these parables and their explanation we gain insight into the workings of the Kingdom. Perhaps the most important parable to understand is the parable of the sower. Jesus Himself confirmed this when the disciples asked its meaning, "Jesus said to them, "Don't you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?" (Mark 4:13). In other words, this parable is a key that unlocks the others. In the parable of the Sower of the Seed, Jesus explains how the Kingdom of God works, using the illustration of a farmer sowing seed. He shows how the Kingdom operates on the principle of seeds, with the Word of God being the seed that needs to be planted. Then, tells how different reactions to the seed determines the outcome of the harvest in our lives. This parable is an essential truth in unlocking and understanding the scriptures.
Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Matthean Parables, Volume II by Kenneth P. Minkema,Adriaan C. Neele Pdf
This second volume of Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Matthean Parables contains a previously unpublished series of six sermons by Edwards on Jesus' parable of the Sower and the Seed, as found in Matthew 13:3-7. Edwards preached these sermons in 1740 immediately following the visit of George Whitefield to Edwards' church in Northampton, Massachusetts, in October of that year. Not only does this series have a historical significance for its place in the Great Awakening, but it contains important pronouncements on the preacher's craft and the hearer's responsibilities. These sermons have been placed in the context of Edwards' preaching style and method, and framed by historical considerations. Prepared from the original manuscripts by the staff of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale University, this series represents a significant addition to the available Edwards corpus that will be of interest to scholars, religious leaders, and general readers.

The Sower, The Seed, and The Hearts of Men by Zacharias Tanee Fomum Pdf
This book is to be read through and studied for a radical change of heart and a fruitful evangelism ministry! Inspired by the Parable of the Sower, Professor Fomum teaches on the different types of hearts. There is the wayside heart, the stony heart, the thorny heart, and the good heart which is symbolised by good soil. The author identifies the importance of the heart and gives the characteristics of each heart, while showing that each man is responsible for the type of heart he has. To have the heart that is good soil, ready for planting, you have to overthrow the self in you, and rid your heart of all forms of idols. Why does the author dwell so much on the heart as soil? Because it is good soil that bears good fruit. It is good soil that bears great fruit. It is good soil that bears abundant fruit. That's why he goes on to speak extensively about ways to bear fruit in abundance. This book is to be read through and studied for a radical change of heart and a fruitful evangelism ministry, because as the author says, ''It is ripe fruit that produces ripe fruit!"

Secrets, Suspects, Seeds and Soil by Ken Stewart Pdf
The story of Jesus has often been referred to as, The Greatest Story Ever Told. Indeed it is! However, Jesus was also very skillful in the use of stories in His teaching. These were not run-of-the-mill stories. They were filled with ordinary things like seeds, dirt, rocks and thorns. Jesus referred to His stories as parables. It is a rare and amazing gift to accomplish what Jesus did with this technique. He could conceal or reveal great truth in just a few words. Every parable had a definite purpose. In some cases there was such revelation entwined in the story it has often been missed, even when reading His explanation. The parable comprising a large portion of Matthew chapter 13 is a great example. It is packed with great insight into the way Jesus looks at the world in which we live. Our job is to pay closer attention to the explanation of the parable than we do to the story itself. Only then do we receive the benefit Jesus intended. Expect your spiritual perspective to be challenged and enriched as you read what is written here. It is not only far from ordinary; it is rich with fresh revelation from the Holy Spirit.
