  Hi, I'm Pete Smith and this is Compass Point.

  Perhaps you're familiar with the parable of the sower.
• 0:10
  Mark 4 verse 3 says Hearken, behold, there went out of sower
• 0:14
  to sow. And verse 14, the sower soweth
• 0:17
  the word. It might be called the parable
• 0:19
  of the hearers who did not hear. The Son of God is the sower.
• 0:22
  The seed is the Word of God, which, like seed, has life in
• 0:25
  itself, and given proper conditions will spring up into
• 0:28
  life and bear fruit. Note the things that prevent
• 0:31
  hearing. They are the wayside, or
• 0:33
  carelessness and indifference, the Stony ground, or the
• 0:36
  purposeless and unpersevering mind and thorns, the love of
• 0:40
  pleasure and other indulgences. Such hearers never really hear.
• 0:44
  The truth stands no chance. In the first case, the birds
• 0:47
  devour it, in the second the sun scorches it, and in the third
• 0:51
  the thorns choke it. What's stopping you today from
• 0:54
  hearing God's voice?
