This Time Next Year: Testing the Soil

In Luke 13:6–8, Jesus speaks about a fig tree that hasn’t produced fruit yet. Instead of giving up on it, the gardener chooses care and patience. In this message, Pastor Mark Royall reminds us that growth takes intention. When we allow God to tend the soil of our lives, even the slow and unseen work can lead to real change. If we’re willing to receive what nourishes us, we won’t be the same this time next year.
