Be careful how you hear

11/29/25

Have you ever noticed how two people can hear the same truth, yet respond in completely different ways? One grows stronger in faith while the other remains unchanged. What makes the difference? Jesus tells a story about a farmer sowing seed that lands on four kinds of soil—each representing a different kind of heart. Join us this weekend as we explore what it means to truly hear God’s Word so that it takes root, bears fruit, and transforms our lives from the inside out.
