This message unpacks Jesus's parable of the sower from Mark 4, exploring why some seeds take root while others don't. Pator Tommy explains how Jesus uses this story to show what responses we can expect when sharing the gospel: some have it snatched away, some walk away during hard times, some are seduced by worldly things, and some fall on good soil where faith takes deep root and multiplies. Three additional parables clarify our role: we're meant to be light (not hide under a basket), we can't force growth (only cultivate conditions for it), and small beginnings lead to kingdom-wide impact (the mustard seed).
