Objective/Goal:
Our future is contingent on many things, like our choices, and what we believe.
What we believe will affect and influence our choices.
This is where faith comes in.
Where we put our faith, will change and affect how we make our decisions, which will affect our actions and completely alter the outcomes of our lives.
Therefore, what we believe about God, and our relationship to Him is going to affect the choices and actions of our lives.
According to Jesus, there are only four outcomes that will come from the totality of our lives.

Introduction:
Who here is excited for the future?
I hope you are… it is exciting to think about.
Have you thought about the future?
It is something we need to take into consideration.
I ask you this, because we are the future.
Not just a future.
But the future.
Not just the future of something.
But the future of God’s Kingdom.
Have you ever thought of that?
I have, and the more I walk with the Lord, the more I realize that I need to consider some things.
We are the future of the church, the Kingdom of God.
We have been invested in, raised up, and now it is time for us to start taking the baton.
We need to take that place and start fitting the mold that many ancients have done.
We need to start so we can pass the baton to the next up and coming generation.
This is God’s will.
We are a generation of firsts and many temptations no one before us have faced.
We our the product of mass produced, mass marketed sin, flesh, and worldly desires.
Every generation before has been tempted with the same things, but not to the extent that we have with things like:
T.V., movies, the internet, radio, music, etc.
Now we have to live with a different mentality and world-view than ever before.
The problem is that many of us in our generation have fallen.
We have compromised too much of our understanding.
We have been okay with mixing the things of God with the wicked world.
These things are going to get in the way of where the Lord wants us and our place in the timeline.
We are seeing a great apostasy(falling away of the faith) in our generation.
This is I have considered, and feel the Lord has led me to speak in this tone and heart this weekend.
if I could give this weekend a theme, I would call it:
“God’s mold for the next generation.”
The idea of mold, is that it was pre-formed by a will for something to take the shape of.
This is how I think of my/this generation’s place in the kingdom, and His will.
Before, we enter the mold, we need to clarify some things that will help us take shape.
This passage that we are going to go over, is going to tell you one of your possible futures.
Wouldn't you like to know the outcome of your life?
The word “parable” comes from two Greek words (para and ballō), which together mean “to throw alongside.”
A parable, like an illustration, makes a comparison between a known truth and an unknown truth; it throws them alongside each other.
It was a story, typically with illustrations, to go along side and help teach a major point.

Jesus mentions a man sowing seed, a farmer.
He mentions seed.
He mentions four kinds of ground the seed fell.
The wayside.
The rocky ground.
The thorny ground.
The good ground.
Each of these seeds has a different effect on the ground it hits.
Jesus ends with: he who has ears to hear, let him hear.
The question, is do you have ears to hear tonight?
What does this mean.
It is kind of random, Jesus just says this random story to this multitude of people who are following Him.
He doesn’t elaborate, or anything.
we should wonder why He does this.
He who has ears to hear..
Jesus ended His parable by calling out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
The term called out denotes that Jesus was making the major point of His short discourse.
Jesus used “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” on several occasions when telling parables (Matt.
11:15; 13:9, 43; Mark 4:9, 23; Luke 8:8; 14:35).
The expression describes the fact that spiritual people can discern the intended spiritual meaning of a parable.
The implication is that unspiritual people would understand no more than the parable’s surface meaning.
The
The disciples immediately noticed a change in Jesus’ method of teaching.
They came and asked Him directly why He was speaking in parables.
The Lord gave three reasons.
First, He was communicating through parables in order to continue to reveal truth to His disciples (Matt.
13:11–12a).
The Lord said He was making known to them the secrets of the kingdom of heaven.
The word “secrets” is translated “mysteries” in other Bible versions and in most of its other NIV occurrences.
This term in the New Testament referred to truths not revealed in the Old Testament but which now were made known to those instructed.
luke 8:9-

They came and asked Him directly why He was speaking in parables.
Jesus’ disciples had asked Him what the parable meant.
But before He told them its meaning, He explained why He used the parabolic form of teaching.
People who were spiritually discerning, that is, were following Him and acknowledging His message as true (such as those in 7:36–8:3) would have the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God.
But others who were not responding to Jesus’ message of the kingdom would not understand the parable (cf. 1 Cor.
2:14).
In support of this Jesus quoted Isaiah 6:9—the people heard what He said but did not understand it.
Jesus’ speaking in parables was actually an act of grace to those listening to Him.
