Have you ever felt like you’ve heard a powerful message, only to have the “inspiration” vanish before you even get to your car? In this sermon, Pastor Kyewoon Choi dives into the first of the four soils from Jesus’ famous parable: the ground Beside the Road. This isn’t just an ancient agricultural story; it is a spiritual diagnostic for the “hardened heart”—a heart that has become a thoroughfare for the world’s traffic, leaving no room for the Seed of Truth to take root. In this message, we explore: The Hardened Path: How life’s “traffic”—cynicism, routine, and worldliness—compacts our spiritual receptivity. The Birds of the Air: Identifying the distractions and spiritual forces that snatch away the Word before it can change us. The Divine Plow: How God can break up the “fallow ground” of a weary heart to make it fertile again. Don’t let the most important truths of your life sit on the surface. It’s time to move off the road and into the field.
