Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:37-43Regardless of circumstance, each of us has a seed to sow. Each word we say, each motion we do either helps the Kingdom of God or hinders the Kingdom of God. Are you for God or against God? Are you sowing grain or weeds?
In Matthew 13:24-30, what is the difference between seeds of grain and weeds?
Why is grain beneficial and why are weeds bad?
In Matthew 13:37-43, what is the difference between good seed and weeds?
Who sows the good seed? Who sows the weeds?
Why is it important to tell others about Christ and the hope He gives? In Matthew 13:37-43, what happens to good seed? What happens to weeds?
In everyday talk with friends, family, schoolmates, cashiers, your dentist and others, you have seed to plant. The stories you tell and the interactions you have say something about your Creator. Gianna Jessen’s mom had an abortion less than two months before Gianna was due to be born; however, Gianna survived. She commented that, from conception, she was hated. Yet, when Gianna talks, she glorifies God and speaks of the hope and love of Jesus. Gianna plants good seeds of grain. Watch her story at vimeo.com/9200962.
Challenge: This week, a) Keep a journal of conversations you have. b) Make comments about your attitude and topics of stories. Are you joyful? Are you complaining? Are you encouraging? Are you gossiping? c) Ask a friend, brother, sister, mom or dad to comment about conversations with you. Did he/she hear you plant seeds of grain or weeds?
