Good Ground - Pastor Brian Keesler

Sermon Recap

Is the soil of your heart good ground? In Part 3 of the sermon series, Receiving the Word, Pastor Brian Keesler shares how the condition of our heart plays a key role in our ability to receive the Word. Outlined in his message are three practices that a person can follow to always get the most out of the Word they hear. Those methods include studying the message to verify its accuracy, meditating upon the Word to extract the most “nutrition” from it, and actually putting it into practice. The Word is one of the primary things satan will try to steal from a believer. When satan tries to steal the Word we need to double-down on it, not back down from it. After listening to this sermon you will be able to: determine the condition of the soil of your heart; ensure your heart is ready to receive all you can from the Word of God; and make sure the Word always works for you.
