The Dangers of Being Distracted by the Thorns

Jun 21, 2026    Rev. Rem Austin

In this message from Mark 4:14-20, Pastor Remington Austin explores Jesus' Parable of the Sower and the danger of allowing the "thorns" of life to distract us from God's Word.

The cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desire for other things can slowly choke out spiritual growth if we're not careful. This sermon challenges believers to examine their hearts and remove the distractions that hinder a fruitful walk with Christ.
