Podcasts about good ground

Justin Taylor, one of Pastor Dawn's spiritual sons, gave us a deeper understanding of the Parable of the Sower and how to cooperate with Jesus in tending the garden of our life. The key to a fruitful life is having deep roots, but every garden has weeds and stones hidden beneath the surface that must be dealt with so we can grow in God! Weeds in our garden of life are the cares and pleasures of life, things that might not be evil but they separate us from God and choke our roots and fruitfulness. Stones represent sin or compromise that hinder root development in your relationship with God. Justin gave us very practical ways to deal with the weeds with God's help, and to uncover the stones and choose to do the work to dig them out and live stronger for God!  Once you choose to be free for your roots in God to go deeper, then you realize God helps you and you don't have to do it in your own strength. It is God's will and pleasure to fulfill you and release the greatness He has hidden inside you!

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Mar 26, 2025 Your spiritual journey is like a garden, and your heart is the soil where divine truth can either flourish or wither. The parable of the sower reveals four types of soil that exist within all of us: The wayside heart is hardened ground where demonic influences easily snatch away truth before it can take root. When you don't understand spiritual truths, it's often because these entities are actively working against your comprehension. The stony heart receives truth with initial excitement but lacks depth. You might feel inspired during spiritual gatherings but quickly return to old patterns when trials come because the word hasn't truly transformed your inner landscape. The thorny heart allows truth to begin growing but becomes overwhelmed by life's distractions—legitimate concerns, desires, and pursuits that gradually choke out spiritual growth. Even sincere believers struggle when worldly concerns compete for attention. The good soil represents a heart that hungers for truth and receives it with childlike faith. This receptivity isn't automatic—it requires intentional cultivation. To transform your heart into good soil, you must flood it with divine truth until it overwhelms and chokes out competing influences. Just as Abraham drove away predatory birds from his sacrifice, you must persistently reject voices of doubt and unbelief. This is the true nature of spiritual warfare—not mystical combat but the deliberate choice to embrace truth over deception. Remember that even spiritual heroes had imperfect hearts. When they failed, they didn't retreat in shame but pressed forward, allowing divine intervention to work deeper transformation. Your worst inner condition is still workable ground for spiritual growth. The highest calling is to become receptive soil where truth can produce abundant fruit. This isn't achieved through occasional inspiration but through consistent, deliberate immersion in spiritual reality until it reshapes your entire being from the inside out.

Pastor Dawn is continuing this life-changing series on how to receive and XPAND your 30, 60, 100-fold harvest from the “Parable of the Sower.”  We need to turn our ground—our heart—from being hardened, unbelieving, shallow, and neglected to being good soil for God so we can have eternally fruitful lives for His glory. Spiritual fruit comes when we set our minds on investing in our relationship with Jesus. Pastor Dawn made it easy by identifying 10 areas in which we can intentionally grow so we can realize God's DNA is our true identity and bear 100-fold fruit for God. Focusing on these things will help us confront and conquer our enemy the devil, stay consecrated to God and not give up, and enjoy the win!

As believers, we must guard against the things that would steal the seed of what God has invested in our lives through His Word and by His Spirit. Join Melissa for Lesson 2 as we finish looking at the parable of the sower and discuss how to nurture and grow the things of God within our lives so that we can mature in our walk with the Lord. The fruit of the harvest of what God has placed within us will speak for itself as to whether we are giving God our best or not.

A.M. Service-9/22/24-CCOG

Matthew 13 is about Christ telling the well-known “parable of the sower”. In this parable, there were different kinds of ground, and this message focuses on the good ground, and how our hearts should be like that ground.

Jesus is the God who redeems. We all need redemption in our lives. Let this episode encourage your heart as you hear His faithfulness. In this inspiring episode of Revealing Jesus with Christina Perera, host Christina Perera sits down with worship leaders and songwriters Cody and Julie Oliver. They delve into a deep discussion on faith, worship, and the redemptive power of God. From their testimonies to their music ministry, Cody and Julie share their journey of encountering God's presence and how it influences their worship. The episode covers Cody's near-death experience from a car accident as a child and how his mother's unwavering faith and declaration over his life exemplified God's power to redeem.Julie emphasizes the importance of worshiping in spirit and truth and speaks on the profound impact that worshiping from a place of intimacy with God can have on a community. The Olivers also highlight the process of writing their music and the unique dynamics of involving their local church community in creating songs that speak to shared experiences and testimonies. "We feel like that's a very, very special one. And we feel that it's going to become a very personal song for a lot of people, too. And provoke their courage and provoke their faith to ask the Lord to see things in their life be restored, be redeemed."

Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.'16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;Matthew 13: 1-9; 18-23

Good Ground - Pastor Walter - 2:25:24 by The Hills Church

What did Jesus mean by saying the first would be last and the last would be first? Pastor Kevin's message, THE CURRENCY OF THE KINGDOM, explores how Jesus taught the meaning of this saying through the parable of the vineyard workers.

Most Christians today recognize the importance of engaging our culture with the Gospel.  Changes are afoot that would radically alter the way that we raise our families and understand our fundamental freedoms.  This sense of urgency has led many to find the most effective ways to impact the culture.  How do we transform a culture before it transforms us?  One of the most overlooked methods, however, is the simplest: the direct encounter we can have with the people around us.  If cultural leadership were football, this would be the ground game, and this is the method our Lord, Himself, showed us.
