The main point
Only God makes a heart good soil that hears, holds fast and bears fruit.
About this message
The same seed falls on four kinds of soil, but only one bears a harvest. Pastor Vitali reads the good soil in Mark 4:20 alongside Matthew 13:23 and Luke 8:15. He shows that good soil is God's work, not human achievement, and gives three signs of an honest and good heart: it hears with understanding, receives and holds fast to the Word, and bears fruit with patience.
For anyone asking whether their faith is real.
