Heart Check

Heart Check Resources

Everything we do flows from the posture of our heart. These resources are meant to assist you with your next step spiritually, mentally, and physically as you perform your heart check.

Heart Check is a four week series unpacking the story that Jesus told that had such an impact that three of the gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, and Luke, all included it in their narratives. The title of the story has come to be known as the Parable of the Seed or the Parable of the Sower.

There is a wide range of responses to God’s Word. Some believe it is God’s Word, and some people don’t think it is. What makes the difference?

The difference is not the seed, but the soil - the heart that the seed falls onto. We can be: faint-hearted, hard-hearted, half-hearted, or whole-hearted. So, the key question we will explore in this sermon series is: How’s your heart?
— Pastor John Gerlach

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23
