Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

What can you do to change the condition of your heart?

Absolutely nothing.

You can't change the condition of your heart, but God can't.

God can change your heart today, the heart that is hard, that is shallow, that is standard.

You'll change it if you're asking to.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Why do some people receive the gospel with open arms while others reject it?

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress opens to the parable of the sower to discover why some hearts are more receptive to the good news than others.

It's a message called Matters of the Heart.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

As David mentioned, yesterday we launched our next Bible study plan.

Over the next few weeks I want you to join me in a fascinating journey through the parables of Jesus, or what I've called Jesus' favorite stories.

Now, as you and I traveled this journey together on this program, I've prepared something else for you.

It's a brand new book for the child in your life, and it's called Jesus' favorite stories for kids.

You may already have a copy of a children's book I've written in the past, but this one takes a whole new direction.

In this new book I share ten easy Bible lessons from the lips of Jesus Himself that provide a spiritual foundation for your kids.

These lessons will help your child, or grandchild, or perhaps a nicer nephew grow in their faith as they come to understand more about God and His Word.

And this new children's book is yours when you give a generous gift today.

But here's the best part. Right now when you give, we'll be applying your gifts toward the matching challenge that became active just yesterday.

Because of this generous gift that was established for Pathway to Victory, every dollar you give right now will be automatically doubled until we reach the exciting total together.
