Green Thumb: A Root Issue

May 11, 2025  •  Garry Firth

1. What is your favourite season? Why? What is an outdoor activity you really enjoy doing?


2. Read Mark 4:3-6. How is rocky soil different from/similar to hard soil? 


3. Read Mark 4:16. Have you ever seen someone seem passionate about their faith but walk away when things got hard? Why is it easier to be enthusiastic than to be rooted?


4. Read Mark 4:17. What kind of “trouble or persecution” might people experience today because of following Jesus? 


5. We heard that the Greek word “skandalizo” means “to stumble” or “be offended.” What are some truths in Scripture that people today tend to “trip over”? 


This week, think about one ‘rocky place’ in your life where you would be willing to let God till and break up the soil so your roots could grow deeper.
