Don't Treat Soil (or God) Like Dirt
In this series, we're talking dirt - but not all dirt is created equal. On a baseball field, cultivated soils are used on the infield and carefully maintained by a grounds crew. Proper care and moisture ensure players have traction for performance and safety, and a baseball rolls smoothly and bounces true. A lot of time and effort goes into preparing the ground for the best possible product. Jesus knew the importance of good dirt. Baseball was not yet relevant, but seeds were, and folks knew what it took to get them to grow—starting with dark, rich soil. What “ground” work have you laid for growth? Do the seeds cast by God through the Bible, preaching, exhortation, and Christian fellowship have a fertile landing place in your life? In this Generosity season, we’re going to be talking dirt, guided by Jesus’ parable of the sower.
