SCATTERED: IN THE BRAMBLES

Sep 21, 2025    Rev. Dr. John Kalz

Is your spiritual life being choked out by the thorns of everyday worries and the pursuit of wealth?

🌱🌺


Just like blackberries hidden among thorns, our spiritual growth often requires braving discomfort. Today's sermon reminds us that having good soil isn't enough - we must actively root out the 'thistles' in our lives that crowd out our relationship with God.


What thorns do you need to remove to make room for spiritual abundance? 🤔


Remember: Too many things growing in the garden of your life keep a harvest from breaking through. It's time to grab our spiritual 'garden hoes' and cultivate what truly matters.


Let's resolve today to fully follow Jesus, even if it means cutting away some overgrown areas of our hearts. With God's help, we can yield a bountiful harvest of love, peace, and purpose. 🙏
