Mark 4

Adult Pastor Ron King continues our series on Mark.

Have you ever read a passage of Scripture, or listened to a sermon and walked away feeling unchanged? It’s easy to blame the communicator or the environment, but today, Jesus challenges us to look somewhere more uncomfortable: the soil of our own hearts.

We often pray for God to change our circumstances, our families, or our financial stress. But often before Jesus calms the external storms in our lives, he wants to break up the hard, unplowed soil inside of us. Because God doesn't want our performance or our talent, but our tenderness. If you’ve been feeling distant from God, or like the worries of this world are starting to strangle your peace, this message is for you.
