We can stop trying so hard. We can plant small seeds of trust, love, and peace and let God grow them in unexpected ways.

Welcome to Crosscreek Community Church’s Podcast channel! Located in the Pacific Northwest, Crosscreek Community Church offers a welcoming online church community for those on a journey to discover their meaning in life, explore their doubts, ask questions, and discover more about God, Jesus, Christianity, the Bible, and more.
__________
Main Ideas:
We’re exhausted.
The pressure to keep up and be more is ruining and ending our lives.
We find the life we are looking for in the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God: God’s revolution breaking into our world.
The Kingdom of God is not about trying harder… but purposely planting.
The Kingdom of God starts small but grows exponentially.
Every small seed has the potential to be a huge forest.
When we plant seeds for the Kingdom of God, growth is inevitable.
The most important growth is often unmeasurable.
We can stop trying so hard because Jesus is enough.
Invitation:
Read Galatians 6:9
Pray: What and where can I plant today? Help me trust you with the growth.
Remind yourself: “God grows what I plant.”
Discussion Questions:
- Can you relate to the pressure of chasing a “perfect life”? What areas of your life have you felt the most pressure (career, family, appearance, faith, etc.)?
- What do you think the difference is between a healthy desire for growth and an obsessive chase for perfection?
- Read Psalm 63:1-8. How does this passage describe a deep enjoyment of God? What words or phrases stand out to you?
- What are some practical ways you can “enjoy God” more in your daily life?
- How can your group pray with you this week?
