In this message from Luke 8:4–15, Pastor Zach opens the parable of the sower and asks a deeply important question: are you truly a disciple of Jesus, or are you simply part of the crowd? Jesus describes four soils that reveal how people receive the Word of God — some with hard hearts, some with shallow faith, some choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and some with honest hearts that hold fast to the Word and bear fruit with patience.

In this sermon, Pastor Eric shows how Christians are called to handle wealth, possessions, time, influence, and the gospel with faithful stewardship. Everything we have has been entrusted to us by God, and our calling is not to hoard it, worship it, or place our hope in it, but to use it for what will last.
