Hey, this is Beth.

Hey, this is Beth.

Listen, what we live for at Living Proof

is to serve people the Word of God. We base our ministry on Hebrews 412 that tells us that the word is alive and active.

We pray this message is going to serve you in some way today and that God is going to speak through it. Thank you so much

for giving us this privilege.

Now look at Luke 8, 11 through 13. I'm going to back up just long enough to read you our 8--8 so you know this is our raining scripture this

weekend this is our theme so other seed fell on good soil it came up and

yielded a crop a hundred times, everybody say a hundred times, a hundred times more than was sown. And when he said this, he then called out, he who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Then 11 through 13.

This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the what? Now those along the

path are the ones who hear and then the devil comes and takes away the word from

their hearts so that they may not, that that ought to really rise to the surface with you

today because that's the agenda of the enemy, so that they may not believe and be saved.

But let's look at the next here, put in the parable as the next soil.

Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it.

But they have no root.

They believe for a little while but in the time But they have no root.

They believe for a little while, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

Now, boy, we so know this one.

Every single one of us have experienced this one.

If you've been exposed to the word of God very long, you know what this is like.
