In this episode of More Faith, More Life, Steve Gray examines the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13 and points out a difficult truth: three out of the four types of soil hear the Word but never produce anything from it. The Word is either snatched away, scorched by hardship, or choked out by the cares of life. The problem is not simply whether someone attends church or believes in God. The real question is whether the Word is taking root and producing something in their life.

Steve challenges the consumer mindset that has shaped much of modern Christianity. Many people come to God asking what they can receive, but the Kingdom calls people to serve, sacrifice, give, and produce. Good soil does more than hear the Word. It holds onto it, acts on it, and produces a harvest. When God finds someone who will faithfully produce with what they have been given, He can trust them with more.
