Sometimes faith looks right on the outside—but something’s off underneath. In this message from Mark 4:1–20, Pastor Chris unpacks Jesus’ parable of the soils and shows how our hearts determine whether God’s Word truly takes root. From the hardened heart to the crowded heart, this sermon challenges us to clear the path, dig deeper, pull the weeds, and water the Word. Because real growth doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from letting the gospel change the soil of your heart.
