Hearing God! Your Life Depends On It! Mark 4:3-20

I. Have A Desperate “Want To” to Hear God!

Psalm 28:1-5 – Not Hearing God is Like Life in the Pit!

Psalm 28:6-9 – Hearing God Means I’m Alive!

Psalm 19 – What Hearing God Can Do!

II. Have a Prepared Heart to Hear God!

Hardened Soil – Unbelieving Heart!

Rocky Soil – Fainting Heart!

Thorny Soil – Unfocused Heart!

Fertile Soil – Believing Heart = Hearing and Accepting!

From Hardened Heart to Believing Heart!

1. Return and Be Forgiven!
2. Count the Cost in Hearing and Following Christ!
3. Deal With the Worries of the World by Seeking Him First! Matthew 6:33

Deal with the Deceitfulness of Riches by Being Satisfied In Him!

Deal With the Desires for Other things by Desiring Him Most!

Luke 10:38-42

4. Reflect the Sower!

Galatians 6:7-8 – In Your Own Life!

2 Corinthians 9:6-12 – In Others
