Matthew, Mark, Luke & John: Session 18

            What exactly takes place when a person's heart is given some truth? Why do some hearts accept truth so easily while others are hardened against it? Why do some Christians grow in faith while others never grow? What about the Christians who later become hardened against their faith and turn against it? What's going on within the hearts of all these people? Who's saved and who isn't? And why? What's really going on? Jesus answered these questions in great detail with his first parable, known as the "Parable Of The Sower & The Soils."
