The Sower and the Soil — a 5-minute devotion for Namtumbo 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.
Families in Namtumbo tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read Mark 4:1-20 out loud while the plates are still down, ask the question once, and let the youngest answer first. It takes about five minutes and it does not need anyone to have prepared.
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: let a child read Mark 4:1-20 out loud tomorrow instead of you. Reading it to the family is worth ten times hearing it.
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?
