Listening

Has anyone heard of the parable of the sower? It is where Jesus is talking about seed that falls on hard ground, seed that falls in rocks, seed that falls in some weeds and seed that falls on good ground.
What it means though is how well do we listen to the word? How well are we taking what is being said and applying it to our life? I know that it is something that I have struggled with. I have not always let God's will come before my own and I know that it is wrong. Do any of you have a hard time with this parable? If so then  you are not alone, not by any means. I know that all of us would like to be the seed that falls on good ground every time we hear a pastor preach. At BRINGING BACK GOD in BRISTOL, TN PASTOR JOHN COLLINS preaches these parables. He makes it easy to hear what he is saying but are we actually  listening to what it is that reality is being said? It is easy to hear but it is even harder to listen. It is easy to hear what God's will is for us but it is even harder to let His will override our own. We need to humble ourselves for the Lord and listen. Then we will be able to do His will and make Him happy with us.
Hearing is hard but listening is even harder. At BRINGING BACK GOD you will learn how to listen and know what you can do to better yourself for God. So come visit the church in either BRISTOL, TN or in MARIETTA, PA. Have a talk with PASTOR JOHN COLLINS and come learn how to be the good seed.
