There is a tremendous amount of fruit spread all across our church family! God is moving in many diverse, high-yielding ways. Yet the temptation of our flesh and the world around us will be to distract us. How can we strive to ensure the planting of the Lord takes root and flourishes in us and through us?
This week Pastor Donny shares from Mark 4:1-20. He recounts a parable Jesus told about a man who sowed seed onto four types of soils. These soils Jesus compares to the four types of human hearts. The hope from this message is that people will identify which soil their heart is and identify ways to move their heart to fertile/fruitful good soil.

The great plan of restoration: The new heaven and the new earth (21:1-22:21)
Dick Foth interviews Steve Moore who has been a speech writer for social and political leaders for decades in D.C. and around the world. Steve is a self-described “political junkie.” Together, they paint a picture of what it might look like for those in the kingdom of God to engage with the political world. What hope is there for any sort of unity in America when the nation is so politically splintered? They also respond to questions which were submitted earlier.
In this episode, Dr. Mark Boustred shares his story. Mark is a retired plastic surgeon who spent nearly 40 years working in a range of medical environments. He shares about calling and the desire to pursue something as grueling as medicine, how God moved through a life-altering accident to his eye, and what faithfulness to Jesus has meant to him over the years.
Have you ever been falsely accused? It is a terrible feeling! We are in a culture that often times chooses to believe lies rather than truth. Join us this weekend as we look at how Jesus handled false accusations. Hope to see you there!
