Lesson 1 is the Parable of the Seed and the Sower, which is found in Luke 8, verses 4-15. This exercise is the first part of Intermediate Lesson 1, or you can do it as an individual listening exercise.

First, be prepared to find the answers to these four questions as you listen:

  1. What happened to the seeds that fell on the rock?
  2. What happened to the seeds that fell into the good ground?
  3. In the story, what does Jesus say the seed is?
  4. What is produced by the seeds that fell in the good ground?
