Christ the King Anglican Church Toronto's sermon from June 7, 2026.

Adult Pastor Ron King continues our series on Mark.Have you ever read a passage of Scripture, or listened to a sermon and walked away feeling unchanged? It's easy to blame the communicator or the environment, but today, Jesus challenges us to look somewhere more uncomfortable: the soil of our own hearts.We often pray for God to change our circumstances, our families, or our financial stress. But often before Jesus calms the external storms in our lives, he wants to break up the hard, unplowed soil inside of us. Because God doesn't want our performance or our talent, but our tenderness. If you've been feeling distant from God, or like the worries of this world are starting to strangle your peace, this message is for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 7, 2026, at 9:00am.

Pastors Harold Noyes and Timothy Golden delve into the Gospel of Mark, focusing on the parable of the sower. They illustrate how the receptivity of one's heart determines the impact of God's word, urging active engagement and obedience. The discussion highlights the necessity of cultivating a fertile heart for spiritual fruitfulness and breaking free from societal "enslavement."

Why are so many 20-30 year-olds leaving Churches of Christ for other churches?  In this episode of The Church Things Podcast, Kerry and Becky, offer one reason: college, careers, and increasingly busy schedules cause people to gradually drift away.  They share a word of encouragement both for those who may have drifted away and for church leaders who care for them.

Let the Light Shine - Pastor Chad Hertler The Gospel of Mark - Mark 4:21-25

Episode 143 of 2 Minute Disciple Season 5 explores the moving story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35–41. As the disciples panic in the middle of a violent storm, Jesus speaks peace over the wind and waves—and challenges them to trust Him more deeply. In this contemplative Christian devotional podcast episode, Nick guides listeners through a peaceful rhythm of slowing down, reading Scripture, reflecting, meditating, responding in prayer, and practicing a simple spiritual exercise. Together, we wrestle with the disciples' honest question: “Don't You care that we're going to drown?” and Jesus' searching response: “Why are you afraid?” This episode is for anyone carrying anxiety, fear, uncertainty, or emotional exhaustion. It is a reminder that faith is not the absence of fear—but the decision to turn toward Jesus in the middle of the storm. Whether you are beginning your morning devotion, taking a prayerful break in your day, or searching for peace in difficult circumstances, this episode will help you rest in the calming presence of Christ.

Try the BibleACTS app!: ⁠https://bibleacts.goodbarber.app/subscribe⁠ Shop “Cut to the Heart” apparel: ⁠https://cut2theheart.com⁠ In this episode, we dive into Mark 4, focusing especially on the Parable of the Sower and what it teaches about the condition of the human heart when hearing the Word of God. Much of this discussion centers on an important distinction: How unbelievers hear the Word and either reject it or receive it unto salvation How believers, already saved through faith in Jesus Christ, continue hearing the Word in order to grow, mature, and bear fruit. In this verse-by-verse Bible study, we explore: The meaning of the different soils in the Parable of the Sower Why some people reject the gospel immediately How persecution, distraction, and worldly desires choke spiritual growth How believers grow through continual exposure to Scripture What true spiritual fruit looks like in a person's life This episode emphasizes that the Word of God is not passive information—it reveals hearts, produces faith, and transforms lives. Whether someone is hearing the gospel for the first time or growing as a disciple, the condition of the heart determines what the Word produces. Watch, listen, and grow in your faith — and subscribe for more verse-by-verse Bible commentary and podcast episodes.

Who can this be?- When Jesus calmed the storm on the Sea of Galilee, the disciples asked in fear and amazement, "who can this be?" When they arrived at the other side of the sea in the country of the Gadarenes, their question was answered in an encounter with a demon possessed man.

Stories and storms- After another day of teaching the gathered crowds through parables, Jesus and the disciples prepared to cross the Sea of Galilee, and quickly found themselves in the middle of a storm. There are some lessons we can only learn in the storms of life.

The parable of the sower- What place does God's word have in your life? People have plenty of excuses they make for not reading the bible, but Jesus showed in this parable that the real problem is whether our hearts are prepared to receive the seed of the word.

Speaker: Robert ConnEverybody loves the idea of following Jesus...until Jesus leads them into a storm. In Mark 4:35-41, the disciples discover that faith is not pretending storms don't exist, it is declaring that Christ is greater than the storm. Fear, anxiety, uncertainty, grief, and suffering are real, but so is the Savior in the boat. The storm may shake you, but it cannot overcome the One who commands the wind and the waves.Need Prayer?

Speaker: Robert ConnMotherhood can feel like constant effort with little visible result. In Mark 4, Jesus shows that the Kingdom of God doesn't grow instantly or obviously. It grows quietly, over time, in ways we cannot control. What feels small and insignificant is often exactly what God is using. You are not responsible for the outcome. Stay faithful in the small things and trust that God is growing something you cannot yet see.Need Prayer?

By Skip Miller - Jesus often taught using parables, which are like metaphors. We will examine some things about both.
