“Spirit of Cultivation Over Control”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on February 1, 2026.
Continues the Surveying Deep Roots for New Seasons sermon series.
Covers Zechariah 4:6-10a and Mark 4:26-34.
When things feel overwhelming and difficult, our impulse can often be to seek our own control, our own comfort, our own preferences most of all - but that type of white-knuckling can actually just pull us in more destructive directions. That’s why navigators learn to “trust their instruments” and we as disciples can learn to trust God’s movement and God’s values for how we all thrive together in the Kingdom rather than just grasping for our own advantage as what will make everything ok.
