The Parable of the Sower and Excuses The Parable of the Sower is replete with many lessons, graphically presented.

The Parable of the Sower and Excuses It is also apparent that the focus of the parable is not on the sower (no blame is assigned to the sower), but placed on the soil types and the consequent results.

The Parable of the Sower and Excuses The way side hearer. A. “Too hard to understand.” B. “I waited for a sign….” C. “My parents did not teach me.” D. “The church never came to me.” E. “I waited for the Holy Ghost.”

The Parable of the Sower and Excuses The stony ground hearer. A. “God did not help me endure.” B. “Members did not encourage.” C. “The persecution was too much.” D. “Word too demanding.” E. “Preacher too negative.”

The Parable of the Sower and Excuses The Thorny ground hearer. A. “My Burdens overwhelmed me.” B. “My children fell away.” C. “I had to make a living.” D. “One must have some pleasure.” E. “I did the best I could.”

The Parable of the Sower and Excuses Those who hear, understand, avoid pitfalls, and persevere are productive and successful, bringing forth fruit commensurate with their ability.
