Many believers think “good ground” is a spiritual status reserved for the most disciplined or gifted but Jesus tells a different story. In this message, The Fruitful Life, we discover that good ground isn’t the absence of struggle; it’s the result of formation. The soils in Matthew 13 aren’t four kinds of people, they’re four moments in the journey of growth. From hardness to shallowness to distraction, God is doing deep work beneath the surface, shaping hearts that can sustain fruit. Through Scripture, practical insight, and the life of David, this message reveals how receptivity, pruning, and guarding your heart lead to lasting fruitfulness not by skipping seasons, but by growing through them.
