Invest It!

Oct 12, 2025    Lee Vandiver

In our spiritual journey, we're called to be disciples of Christ - not just believers, but active followers. This message challenges us to invest in our relationship with God through key spiritual disciplines. The parable of the sower reminds us that it's not enough to simply hear God's word; we must cultivate good soil in our hearts for it to take root and flourish. By developing habits like prayer, solitude, Bible study, meditation, and fasting, we open ourselves to God's transformative power. These aren't just religious activities, but ways to draw closer to God and become more like Christ. Just as the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, we too should seek to deepen our connection with God. The message emphasizes that this journey isn't about perfection, but persistent growth. As we commit to these practices, we'll find ourselves better equipped to love God and others, fulfilling the greatest commandments Jesus gave us.
