Are You Really Listening?

The Way of Jesus | Mark 4:1–20

In Mark 4, Jesus tells the familiar story of a sower scattering seed. The same seed falls on every kind of soil, but it produces very different results. The problem was never the seed—it was the condition of the soil.

The same is true of God's Word. We live in a world that increasingly wants to customize truth—accepting what feels comfortable, rejecting what confronts us, and reshaping Scripture to fit our desires. But God's Word does not need to be changed; God's Word changes us.

Jesus calls us to more than simply hearing His words. He calls us to receive the Word, allow it to take root, and bear fruit through a transformed life.

We don't need to add to God's Word, subtract from it, negotiate with it, or customize it. We simply need hearts willing to say:

“Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening.”
