Why do some people hear the gospel and walk away unchanged? Jesus didn't avoid that question. He answered it directly in the same conversation as the Parable of the Sower.
In this episode of Beyond the Notes, Pastor David reflects on last Sunday's message from Matthew 13. He walks through the three categories of parables Jesus used, unpacks the four soils and what each one represents, and explains the moment Jesus quoted the prophet Isaiah to show why so many people don't receive the gospel, even when they hear it clearly.
This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why the people they love haven't responded to the gospel. Listeners will leave with a clearer picture of what it looks like to scatter the seed of God's Word faithfully and trust his sovereignty over who responds.
