Ten-Minute Bible Study
Rev. Patrick G. Duggan, Pastor

  Matthew 13:18-20
  ..Thinking About Our New Garden

  18“Hear   then the parable of the sower. 19When anyone hears the
  word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one
  comes and snatches away what is sown in the heart; this is what
  was sown on the path. 20As for what was sown on rocky ground,
  this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it
  with joy;



                                                                     6
Ten-Minute Bible Study
Rev. Patrick G. Duggan, Pastor

  Matthew 13:21-23
  ..Thinking About Our New Garden
  21yet   such a person has no root, but endures only for a while, and
  when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that
  person immediately falls away. 22As for what was sown among
  thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the
  world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields
  nothing. 23But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one
  who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit
  and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in
  another thirty.”
                                                                         7
