The Sower and the Soil — a 5-minute devotion for Ongwediva families
Mark 4:1-20 · Tending the soil, not just the seed
A farmer scattered seed on a path, on rocks, among thorns and on good soil. The same seed did four different things. Jesus said the difference was never the seed — it was the ground it landed on.
Use this one on the Ongwediva weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Mark 4:1-20, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
Memory verse
“Still others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop.”Mark 4:20
Table question
What are the thorns that choke out quiet time in our week?
30-second prayer
God, pull up the thorns in our schedule. Make our house good soil. Amen.
Make it stick: draw it. Younger children draw the moment in Mark 4:1-20 they remember; older ones write one sentence about why it bothered them. Stick both on the wall.
Tomorrow: the mustard seed (Mark 4:30-32). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
