🌱 WHAT ARE YOU GROWING?

A seed doesn’t become a healthy plant overnight. It takes good soil, attention, water, sunlight, and time.

Faith is similar.

God wants His Word to take root in your heart and grow into something that impacts the way you live—and ultimately produces something that can bless others.

This week, try something different:

🌱 Spend extra time in God’s Word.
🙏 Pray honestly about where you need to grow.
❤️ Look for one person you can serve or encourage.
📖 Take something Jesus taught and actually put it into practice.

Don’t just hear the Word. Let it grow in you.

Ask God today:

“Make my heart good soil.”

🔥 FOLLOWING JESUS ISN’T A SUNDAY-ONLY THING.

Jesus never watered down what it meant to follow Him.

Following Jesus takes commitment. It means choosing Him even when it’s difficult, letting go of what pulls us away from God, and being willing to live differently from the world around us.

Ask yourself:

Am I following Jesus because it’s easy—or because I truly believe He is worth following?

Take a few minutes today to pray:

“God, show me what I need to surrender so I can follow You more completely.”

Don’t settle for shallow faith.

Go deeper. Get rooted. Be all in.

🌱 WHICH SOIL ARE YOU?

Jesus talked about four different kinds of soil—and each one represents a different response to God’s Word.

Some hear it but don’t let it take root.
Some get excited but don’t develop deep roots.
Some get distracted by worries, riches, and the things of life.
And some hear God’s Word, hold onto it, and keep growing. 🌱

So here’s the question:

Which one of the four soils are you?

Don’t just answer quickly. Take some time today to honestly examine your heart.

What is helping your faith grow?
What might be keeping your roots from going deeper?

Go deeper. Let God’s Word take root.
