Un-Crowd Your Heart | Til Kingdom Come | Pastor Devin Gough

Is your heart too crowded? This weekend Pastor Devin Gough continued our TIL KINGDOM COME series with a message about Jesus’ Parable of the Sower.Matthew 13:22The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.It’s possible for our hearts to have loves that compete with a love for God and His Word. Jesus says there are two main ways that the seed of God’s Word can get choked out and become unfruitful in our lives.1) THE CARES OF THE WORLDWorry and anxiety are rivals to a trust in God’s promises in our lives. Do we create space in our hearts for them?"Worry, like a rocking chair, will give you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere.”Vance HavnerIf we want to allow God’s Word to bear fruit in our lives, we have to remember that, “There is nothing that can happen today that the Lord and I can’t handle.”2) THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHESWealth is deceptive. It promises security and joy, but it never delivers. Matthew 6:33But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.God never promises to give us tomorrow’s provision today. But we can trust that he will take care of our every need today!
