The Parable of the Sower is the key to unlocking the meaning of all parables (Mark 4:13). The Parable of Seed Growing complements it, shedding light on the Parable of the Sower. Together, they are vital because the principles of God’s kingdom are intricately tied to the process of seeds—planting, growth, and harvest. These parables reveal spiritual dynamics of faith and God’s work.

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker explores the parables Jesus uses to explain the Kingdom of Heaven.

Sheep are not known for their strength, independence, or survival skills—they need a shepherd. In John 10, Jesus declared Himself as the Good Shepherd, the one who leads, protects, and provides for His flock. But, do we recognize our need for Him? Do we trust Him to guide us, or are we trying to navigate life on our own?

Join us this week as Head Pastor Ryan Meade explores what it means for Jesus to be our shepherd, and how embracing this relationship changes everything.

Life comes with challenges; if we aren't careful, they can steal our peace and joy in the Lord. The good news is that whatever God calls us to, He also gives us the grace to accomplish it. He has made us more than conquerors—super overcomers (Romans 8:37), which means we are empowered to rise above every challenge. Through His grace, we can live as super overcomers, thoroughly enjoying Jesus, those around us, and all the good things He provides.

Join us in Mooresville as guest speaker Bobby Conner encourages us to lean into grace to tackle life's challenges.
