Hardened Hearers: Things Unseen with Sinclair B. Ferguson

Summary

The sermon theme is "take heed, take care how you hear," focusing on Jesus' parable of the sower as a grid for understanding different types of hearers. Scripture from the Gospels' accounts of the parable is central, illustrating the varied reception of God's Word based on the listener's spiritual condition, with the "pathway" hearer representing those whose hearts are hardened by resistance. The practical takeaway is to examine one's own reception of God's Word, asking for spiritual cultivation to break up hard soil and allow the Word to take root.
