Discussion Questions
1. Additional Study: Matthew 13:10-15. Jesus explains his use of parables in these verses. What can we learn from his discussion of parables here? What should we be aware of when reading God’s Word?
2. Search the Scripture: What are other examples where God’s word was ignored in the Scriptures? What happened? What did they do instead? What was the result?
3. Prayer Project: Is there any hardness in your heart? If so, what kind of hardness is there? Ask the Lord to help you identify any hard places and to soften your hear to receive His Word.
