I Will Prepare the Soil

• The Kingdom of God is ready to be established in your life… are you ready to receive it to the fullest? 

Matthew 13:1-23

How do you prepare for the Kingdom of God? 

• Start by humbly listening.

• Root yourself in the Truth.

• Center yourself in a healthy environment. 

Discussion Questions:

• Which soil best describes you this season of life, and why?
• What "thorns" — worry, ambition, comfort — tend to choke the Word in your life right now?
• What's one practical step you can take this week to cultivate good soil?
