Ever feel like your life feels just like rocky and inhospitable soil? 🌾

Not made to grow anything….

Maybe because of...

📉 Setbacks at school
💔 Relationship turmoil
😢 Friend drama
💸 Financial mistroubles
🩺 Health issues

You feel...

➤ Weighed down
➤ Hopeless
➤ Isolated
➤ Overwhelmed

You’re not alone! Everyone feels this way at some point growing up!

The truth is...

Jesus continues to sow his seeds in our lives, despite our circumstances. He has the amazing power to transform even the rockiest of soils into fertile ground.

And it’s not up to you.

He’s got you covered (get the soil joke?!!).

HE makes you the good soil.

The world is one of the three great enemies….
The devil
The world
Our sinful nature
Martin Luther reminds us that while it's easy to blame 'the world' for its faults.
But….
We must remember: WE are part of the world.
We're not above the fray.
Every Christian has idols and worldly cares.
And our sins hurt our neighbors, making us part of the problem.
But, the law isn't about pointing fingers; it's about self-reflection.
It's not a "they" problem..
… it's a "you" problem.
And just as the law is personal, so is the gospel.
Jesus isn't here to fix 'them.’
He's here to forgive YOU.
Remember: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
