Watch The Parable Of The Seed And The Sower For Kids

The visual examples and inventive paper projects in Pop-Up Parables help children retain and apply Bible lessons. When the apostles were later alone with Jesus they asked, Why do you speak to the people in parables?” Jesus said, I speak in parables so that those who want to can come to understand what I am teaching, but those who don't want to will not be able to understand.
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.



The seed in the thorns is like someone who hears the Word of God, but they are so worried about everything else going on in their life that the Word slowly gets forgotten and never has a chance to grow and help them become all that Jesus wants them to be.
Other seeds fell where there were thorns. Jesus taught them many things by parables. The parable of the sower seems to be about farming or sowing seeds but there is also a hidden The Parable of the Sower meaning to this parable. Other seed fell on rocky ground. You can surely think of many other things that are within your heart that you do and that are affecting your ground.

Say: The parable of the sower seems to be about farming - a sower is sowing seed. To these people, a parable was simply a story. And lastly there's the people who hear the word and respond. People who receive God's Word and grow, but then get distracted by the worries and things of the world.
Today, we are going to learn about a story - or parable - that Jesus told that compares the Word of God to seed. As people work, encourage them to talk about the story they have just heard. If you want to make the sower bag, or a basket, you can use these seeds to 'toss' to the kids.

A parable is a special story that Jesus used to teach the people about God and his kingdom. But if we open our hearts to Jesus, trust in Him to care for us, and accept His word as truth, we will be able to grow like beautiful flowers and do many things for Jesus.
The first hearts Jesus addresses are those that are never able to internalize the gospel because it's snatched away by the evil one. There's more to growing plants than just dropping seeds in the ground. Ask the children to each name one thing they learned from these two parables.
