Your heart is always growing something—but the question is what. In this compelling message, Pastor George Sawyer walks us through Jesus’ Parable of the Sower in Mark 4 and reveals how the condition of the soil in our hearts determines whether we grow, drift, or miss what God wants to produce in us.
We explore four spiritual conditions—those in danger, those running out of time, those drifting, and those living with purpose—and discover how each one responds to the seed of God’s Word. Pastor Sawyer challenges us to confront hard places, shallow roots, competing priorities, and the thorns that choke out spiritual growth.
This message is a timely call to prepare your heart, break up hardened ground, and cultivate gratitude, obedience, and faith as you step into a new season. If you’re ready to grow deeper, bear fruit, and experience real transformation, this teaching will guide you toward a life rooted in God’s truth and revival.
