-Parable of the Sower/ the parable of the 4 soils: Matthew 13:1-23 (2 points)
*20 The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. 22 The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. 23 But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (from http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Matthew%2013.18-23#ref=Mt%2013%3A18%E2%80%9323%2Chi%3DMt%2013%3A18-Mt%2013%3A23&ver=NIV)
