La semilla no es el problema revisa tu tierra

Summary

Rodolfo Rojas’s sermon, “The Seed Is Not the Problem—Examine Your Soil,” centers on Jesus’ parable of the sower in Mark 4:1–20. The seed represents God’s word, while the different kinds of soil represent the condition of people’s hearts.

Rojas’s central message is that when the word does not produce change or fruit, the issue is not necessarily the seed; it may be how a person receives and responds to it.

The Four Kinds of Soil

• The path: a resistant or unreceptive heart The hearer does not receive or act on the word. Distractions, arguments, or unwillingness to obey leave it exposed. Rojas says Satan takes away the word before it can take root. His practical counsel is to respond promptly when one believes God is speaking: receive the message, believe it, and act on it rather than delay or resist.

• Rocky ground: shallow, temporary commitment These hearers initially welcome the word with enthusiasm but have no deep roots. When hardship or persecution comes because of the word, they fall away. Rojas emphasizes genuine repentance and spiritual depth, rather than merely an emotional or joyful first response. He calls for perseverance and consistency—continuing in faith through difficulties instead of beginning well and quitting.

• Thorny ground: competing worries and desires The word is choked by anxiety and everyday concerns, the deception of riches, and desires for other things. Rojas warns that worry can dominate a person’s life and that wealth is a resource, not the ultimate source of security or provision. He urges listeners to put God’s kingdom first, drawing on Matthew 6:33, and not to let work, material ambitions, or comparison with others displace their commitment to God.

• Good soil: receptive, responsive, and fruitful These hearers listen to the word, receive it, and produce fruit—described in the parable as thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold. Rojas presents fruitfulness as the result of how people receive and live out the word. It involves an open, humble attitude, obedience, commitment, and giving God priority.

Main Lessons and Applications

• The condition of the heart matters: a person must be willing to receive, trust, and obey the word.
• Cultural habits, traditions, mentalities, and personal attitudes can obstruct the word’s effect in someone’s life, according to Rojas’s interpretation of Mark 7:9.
• Faith may bring opposition. Rojas encourages believers to remain joyful and steadfast during hardship, pointing to the Thessalonian church as an example of receiving the word amid affliction.
• Listeners are urged to examine their hearts, repent, and remove obstacles such as worry, fear, love of money, and distracting desires.
• The sermon closes with a prayer of surrender and a declaration that the listeners’ hearts are “good soil.”

Other Parts of the Service

• Rojas opens and closes by inviting viewers to subscribe, follow the ministry on social media, and join its church community.
• He leads a tithes-and-offerings segment using Malachi 3:10–11, presenting giving as an act of faith associated with blessing and protection.
• The service ends with Communion. Rojas connects the bread and cup with Jesus’ death and the new covenant, and prays for forgiveness, healing, protection, and blessing.
