Discipleship | Pastor Mark Pearce

This week's sermon, titled *Discipleship*, delves into the parable of the sower in Mark 4 and explores what it means to be "Close to God" in our faith journey. Pastor Mark unpacks the challenges believers face when navigating worldly "currents" that threaten to pull us away from God's Word. Using vivid analogies and scripture from Mark, Ezekiel, and other passages, he explains how thorns—representing the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and desires for other things—choke our spiritual growth. With practical insights and spiritual truths, this message encourages us to rely on God's Word to resist the enemy's attacks and remain rooted in discipleship.
