People reject good advice.
They push away people who care about them.
They resist change. Sometimes they even resist God.
Why?
In Luke 8, Jesus tells a story that helps explain why some hearts stay closed while others are transformed.
In this message, Ben Young explores one of Jesus' most well-known parables—the Parable of the Sower. Jesus compares God's truth to seed and our hearts to different kinds of soil.
Some hearts are open.
Some become hardened over time.
And some are ready to grow.
Whether you're wondering why someone you love seems far from God, struggling with your own spiritual growth, or simply trying to understand why change can be so difficult, this message offers hope.
Because no heart is beyond God's reach.
