					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Mark 4 &#8211; </strong></p>
<p><strong>Jesus teaches us that our words and our actions make huge difference in other people&#8217;s lives. We all have stories and perspectives that will help those around us.</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Verses 1-20 Our words and actions are seeds.</li>
<li>Verses 21-25 If we give away what we have, we will get more. If we do not, we lose everything.</li>
<li>Verses 26-29 It takes time to produce good fruit. We wait expectantly, with patience and faith.</li>
<li>Verses 30-34 Our words and actions will produce a harvest much bigger than we expect.</li>
<li>Verses 35-41 Jesus even uses His words and actions with wind and waves.</li>
</ol>
