📖 This Week's Story

Jesus told a beautiful story about a farmer who planted seeds. Some seeds fell on the road — birds ate them. Some fell on rocks — they started growing but died because the roots weren't deep. Some fell among thorns — the thorns choked them out. But some seeds fell on good, rich soil. These seeds grew strong and produced wonderful fruit! Jesus explained that the seeds are God's teachings, and the soil represents our hearts. If we listen well, are patient, and take care of what we learn, God's teachings will grow like beautiful plants in our hearts. Which kind of soil do you want to be?
