Why did Jesus teach using parables? My friend and leader here at The Waterfront Church, Owen Fields, shares his heart and perspective of the parable of the sower. What is the condition of the soil in your heart and are you willing to make room for what God wants to do in your life?

When we look at the world and our nation, we see nothing but darkness and brokenness. The walls have been broken down just like in the days of Nehemiah in the Bible. What we see happening in the physical has already been happening in the spiritual. Learn how we as believers can build up the walls for the Kingdom of God.

How desperate are we to hear the voice of God in our life? Are we willing to cut out the distractions, silence the noise, and create a space to hear our Heavenly Father speak to us? There is nothing of more value or more rewarding then hearing the Creator of the Universe speak. 

My dear friend Loraly and a leader at Waterfront Church shares her story of where she tried to find her identity before knowing Christ. She also shares her revelation of John 15. Many of us want to live out parts of the Bible that are easy and adaptive to our lifestyle. Dare we live out the whole Gospel Truth?

Our world is so divided and it's easy to look around and feel hopeless that things will never change. When we look at the life that Jesus lived, He was always willing to cross the divided lines to show the love of God without compromising His character. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Are we willing to put down our walls and cross the divided line so that the love of God can shine through? 

My heart and prayer for the young people is that they would see they're value and worth in the One who made them. To know that living a life of forgiveness is a way in seeing truth in a dark and divided world. And to not live life guided by emotions but to persevere for there is always hope.
