Have you ever shared your faith, invited someone to church, or prayed for someone—only to feel like nothing happened?
In this episode, Pastor Scott walks through Jesus’ Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13 and delivers a powerful reminder: empty casts don’t mean failure—they mean you’re being faithful.
Using the imagery of fishing, this message speaks directly to believers who feel discouraged, awkward, or hesitant after rejection. Jesus never asked us to control outcomes, convince people, or produce results. He simply asked us to cast—to be faithful with conversations, invitations, and obedience—and to trust God with the harvest.
In this sermon, you’ll learn:
This is a freeing, encouraging message for anyone who’s grown tired of trying—or afraid to try again. If you’ve ever put the rod down after an empty cast, this message is for you.
🎧 Part of the Firm Foundation series
📖 Matthew 13:1–9, 18–23
Listen, be encouraged, and cast again.
