In this short sermon, Paul Woodley uses the parable of seed germination to illustrate why some people reject the gospel immediately, likening it to a seed that fails to sprout. He explains that this metaphor helps understand the feelings of those who resist faith. Woodley then shares his own testimony, noting that he did not become a Christian until age 35 and was not raised in a gospel‑centered Christian home, emphasizing that timing and personal background affect one’s response to God’s word.

You know what, if it doesn't germinate and grow and you reject it right off the bat, face value, that's okay. Because actually, if you know that parable, it explains why you are feeling the way you feel. For many, many people, they don't come to Christ for a long, long time, right? You know, I myself, again, my personal testimony, I didn't become a Christian until I was 35 years old. I did not grow up in a Christian home, right? Gospel-centered Christian home.
