From Hard Soil to Good Soil: A Call to Evangelism

The Parable of the Sower is both a call to self-examination and a guide for sharing God’s Word. Believers are encouraged to assess the condition of their hearts—whether hard, shallow, distracted, or receptive—and to faithfully sow the gospel with gracious, wise, and engaging speech, trusting God to work in the hearts of others. Practical examples and strategies for initiating conversations about faith highlight that evangelism is relational, patient, and dependent on God’s power, not our persuasion.
