‘Already In Church? – Be Good Ground.’
Luke 8:13-15.
a) Luke 8:13. Some people’s hearts are rocky ground. This means that when the Seed of the Word of God is sown into their lives initially they have Joy but their Faith does not develop. They believe for a while and then they abandon their Faith.
b) Luke 8:14. Some people’s hearts are thorny ground. This means that when they hear Word of God they cannot produce any good fruit because their lives are choked up with:-
1- Worries.
2- Riches.
3- Pleasures of this life.
c) Luke 8:15. Some people’s hearts are good ground. This means that when they hear the Word of God they keep it and they bring forth fruit with patience.
(This Second one is a clear message: Already In Church? – Be Good Ground)

Faith needs to develop. Faith is something that is living and it has to grow and keep growing in the life of the True Believer. It should develop and grow continually until we go to Heaven.
