← Converge: Discipleship & Spiritual Growth

ETS ACADEMY · LESSON 1

Grow

Teaching points

  • Spiritual maturity involves putting what we learn into practice. The parable of the soils invites us to examine how we receive God’s word and what competes with it.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • Luke 8:4–15
  • Colossians 2:6–7

Reflect

  • What currently helps or hinders your receptiveness to Scripture?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Begin the 31-day reading plan and share one useful insight with a willing friend.
