The Parable of the Soils (Part 2) – Mark 4:13-25

Take your copy of God’s Word and meet me in Mark 4:1-20…

I find the movie-going experience fascinating, mainly how a group of individuals can go into the same movie but have different feelings toward said film. Isn’t that interesting? What doesn’t change is the movie itself. A group may watch a film, and their appraisals of the movie all vary. The same goes for TV shows. I’ve come out of movies with high ratings, wondering how anybody could think that the film is above mediocre, and I’ve almost blown a gasket when films I love aren’t given their proper flowers.  And there have even been times when I’ve flipped on how I feel about a movie. I walked out of Batman v Superman thinking it was a good film, and two weeks later, I told my wife that it was one of the biggest disappointments of my life. And we do this as a society as well. Movies that may have been highly criticized during this initial release, Space Jam or the Star Wars prequels, for example, are now seen as classics.
