Tending the Soil of Your Heart

As 2025 approaches, many of us feel the pull for a fresh start—a chance to set new goals and dream again. But what if the key to lasting change isn’t in flashy resolutions, but in cultivating the soil of our hearts for God's dreams to take root?

Good intentions aren’t enough. Weeds grow where soil is neglected. Distractions, pride, and busyness choke out God’s plans if we’re not intentional. It’s time to tend the soil. Will you partner with God to prepare for the new growth He has for you in the year ahead?

Discussion Questions:
1. What kind of fruit did 2024 produce in your life—spiritually, physically, relationally, and emotionally?
2. Can you identify areas where “weeds” (distractions, pride, busyness) have taken root in your heart? What impact have they had?
3. What practical steps can you take to cultivate good soil in your life? How can your group support each other in this?
4. What spiritual disciplines (prayer, fasting, worship, Scripture) have you drifted from? How can returning to these cultivate good soil for 2025?
