Jess Ninaber wrapped up our series on the parables with a message titled "The Fruitful Heart," based on the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13:1-23. The condition of our hearts impacts our ability to receive God's Word. Through these verses we explore the types of soil that our heart can be likened to- hardened, shallow, thorny, and fertile. Only the heart that is open and receptive can bear lasting fruit. We encourage you this week to reflect on the state of your own heart and how you can cultivate it to fully embrace God's Kingdom truth.
