The Parable of The Sower
Can this parable help you understand more about the Christian faith?
The parable of the sower seems like such a small parable, in the many parables Jesus gave in His life on earth.
Many people overlook its importance and chop it off to little kids as many small demonstrative lessons. While those can be fun, and can be incorporated in a Sunday school setting, we believe the parable is much more.
In fact, the entire family can benefit from this parable, as it relates to our knowing if we really are “Christians,” and if we really are “following” after Christ.
This lesson has been crafted into five parts, with you teaching one part each day, for five days.
- Two of the lessons come with a video created by our family and featured below.
- Each lesson will conclude with an assignment your child/teen can do, to help them understand what they have just learned. Joining them together will create a Parable of the Sower book for your students.
This Bible Study is for all Ages, can be used in your home, church, Sunday school class setting , or in classroom settings!
Dive Deeper!
Some lessons will have a “Dive Deeper,” for parents and teens, helping them get more insight into a topic, and is optional during family bible study, but great if you are using this as a Bible topic in your curriculum.
Each lesson has additional scripture, to enhance Bible study, for you the parent/teacher and family (or class) discussion questions.
Our hope, is that this lesson will help you and your family (or your Sunday school class), evaluate each part of the Parable of The Sower, as it relates to your faith. Helping you grow as a family.
Because we love family!

Read Matthew 13:3-9 and 13:18-23NIV
3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
“Listen then to what the parable of the Sower means…” MATTHEW 13:18-23
