The Overlooked Gospel “Moral of the Stories” Mark 4:1-34
“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand....” -– Jesus, Mark 1:15
“With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.” – Mark 4:33 
Why parables? (Mark 4:10-12) Who doesn’t love a good story Explain what the Kingdom is like Eradicate religion to become a replica
Moral of the stories… Truth is of no value unless applied (Mark 4:1-9,13-20) Romans 1:18-32; Hebrews 3:7-14; 2 Timothy 3:12; John 16:33; Philippians 4:6-8 & 1 Timothy 6:9-10 
There are no secrets (Mark 4:21-25) Luke 8:16; John 3:19-21 
God is always at work, even when we can’t see it (Mark 4:26-29) Matthew 16:18; Romans 8:28 
God uses small things to create great things (Mark 4:30-34) 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 
Our spiritual roots should deepen every day we live with Jesus!
