The Wayside Hearer

The story of the parable of the sower is well known. We are told about a sower who went out to sow his seed and as he sows the seed falls in four different types of ground. In this message the focus is on the wayside ground. What we have here is a certain type of hearer of the Word. In fact he is the type of hearer who shows no response at all. It is the picture of the majority of people in this world who make no response to the gospel. What kind of person is represented by the wayside ground. Realize that there are multitudes of people who will be represented by the wayside ground. They are what we could call wayside hearers. What kind of a person are they. Let us examine what the Lord said about this kind of person.
