“Good soil is an open heart that is honest about what we desire and what we dread, yet is still tethered to a willingness to hear the Father and what He has to say.” - Timothy Shaun
We are starting a new sermon series, “Faith Expressed,” exploring what it looks like to actually live out our faith in everyday life. Tim kicked us off with a sermon titled “Easier Said Than Done,” speaking about the posture of our hearts through the Parable of the Sower in Mark 4:13–20. Through this passage, we learn that it is possible to be in a crowd, spectating Jesus, yet be blind and deaf to His true call to follow Him, and that is also true of us today.
While it is easier said than done for our hearts to be good soil, Jesus extends His grace to us in our weakness and calls us to come to Him with honesty: to lay all our wants, pains and anger at His feet, so that our hearts can be ready to hear how He is inviting us to follow, trust and obey Him.
May we continually learn to have the posture of an open heart, so that we can receive all that God has for us in this season, and allow His Word to take root in us and bear abundant fruit.
