Uncle Charles was speaking

We were going in the Bible to:

Matthew 13: 3-10

Numbers 22:23

2nd Peter 2:15

John 6:66

Mark 10:17-25

Hebrews 11:1-3

Mark 1:

My Notes:

(Matt. 13:3-10) Uncle Charles asked God to show him what He was saying. 

(Mark 22:23) You can try to force things to go the way you want them to go, but it probably won't work out the way you want it to.

(2nd Peter 2:15) The wages of sin is death. His animal was forced to speak to him so he wouldn't get killed. 

(John 6:66)(This all ties back and forth with the parable of the sower)The seeds that fell on the stoney place sprouted up and then had no room to grow. It's like they were persecuted. Or put down for their beliefs. Being put down over and over and over again till they didn't get back up in their walk with Christ. They didn't have any roots in the word of God. Not enough to stand and follow Him. When you are stretched what will you do?

(Mark 10:17-25) The thorns...........something or a lot of somethings that comes between you and your acceptance of Christ. The rich young ruler wanted eternal life, but his riches made him refuse the biggest gift he could ever receive.

(Hebrews 11:1-31)

This is an entire list of seed that fell on good soil.  Keep looking at this list of faithful people. Try to be so faithful that God will just take you. Are you faithful enough to give up the only thing you have back to God? Be faithful.

God Bless
