The Soil of our Hearts: Taking Responsibility of our Growth in Christ

What if the biggest obstacle to your spiritual growth isn't the seed... but the soil?In this powerful message, Pastor Ricky Venter explores Jesus' Parable of the Sower and challenges us to take responsibility for the condition of our hearts.
