Through the story of Jacob and Laban’s flock, he reveals how Jesus, the truly spotless Lamb, transforms even the most marked and rejected into vessels of honor. Pastor Jeremy shares why being planted in good soil—like Rock City Church small groups—through vulnerability, accountability, and commitment is essential for growth, intimacy, and breakthrough. He challenges us to sow generously, renew our minds through repentance, and fully surrender every area of life—children, finances, future plans, and all—as a living sacrifice.

If you’re ready to stop hiding, embrace your true identity in the Shepherd, and experience the pearl of great price, this sermon is your invitation to surrender and watch God deliver!
