Questions for Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
- What is a parable? Do you have a favorite?
- What is significant about the timing of these kingdom parables? (Both support and opposition are growing)
- What are the 4 types of soil and what happens to seed in each type?
- What does Jesus’ explanation (vs 18-23) reveal about the seed? The soil, and the sower?
- How might this parable help the disciples help understand what is happening in their ministry?
- What does a parable accomplish that direct speech lacks?

- Can you see and hear Jesus at work in today’s world?
- How would you explain this parable to city kids?
- What deep roots keep a disciple from falling away? What give you those deep roots?

Online Bible Studies
Hi Church,
I invite you to join me in studying God’s Word online using the You Version Bible app (Bible.com). Each study begins on a specific date, but you are welcome to start a little earlier or later. You can read on your own, but when you comment, the whole group can see what you wrote and respond. I hope you will participate, and I pray that you would be blessed with wisdom, growth, and new energy through the study and interaction with God’s word.
Through Christ Jesus, our Lord, Amen
