#WhatSoilAmI
“``The difference the difference within these verses is not the sower of the seed. The difference is the soil. And the soil represents the heart of every individual of all time. Otherwise, the soil represents your response and mine to the word of God. And that makes us one of the most personal and penetrating parables that Jesus has ever taught. Because somewhere somewhere in this parable, you will find yourself. You are one of these soils because you right now where you're at you have a response to the word of God. Now there are four kinds of soil Otherwise that means that there are four different responses to the word of God. And the question is not what kind of seed is being sown because the seed is good. The question is this, what kind of soil am I?”

“I wanna ask you a question. Are you looking for happiness in your circumstances or for joy in your destination? Now I know we're human. And sometimes our circumstances are all we can see. And it's not I mean, obviously, we're going to have a response. None of us want to suffer. None of us wants to be miserable. None of us want to experience the brokenness of life. And none of us is gonna celebrate it and say, yay, bad times are here again. You know, that's not how it works. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying that we don't have circumstances that cause us to struggle because we do. That's human. That's real. But the question is, what are you looking for? Are you just looking and and all you're willing to see is your circumstances right now? Or you're trying your hardest to see that destination and the promise of Christ.”
60s
“And as we've worked our way through this book of first Samuel, we are very early introduced to two paths. To two paths and two choices that we have. A path of selfish independence that says, I can do this. I got this. And a path of humble dependence that says, I need Jesus. I need God's help. And the question for us this morning is, which path are you on? Are you on the path of selfish independence? I got this. I can take care of this. I don't need Jesus. I don't need others. I can do this on my own. That you can bet that that path, it it might look good for a while, but it's not gonna end well. And Jesus promises us that if we humble ourselves before him, that he lifts us up and it will end well.”
54s
“The cross as a symbol to those early disciples before the crucifixion would symbolize what happens when you stand up against power when you from a position of powerlessness, you speak truth to this power. The cross is what happens when the powerless threaten the power of the powerful. That's how empire works and or doesn't work. So now here's the question to consider. If we are encountering Jesus' words as the disciples first encountered them, as the church today, what does that mean, and what does that look like?”
56s
“He knows everything about me, just as he knows everything about you. Therefore, we should not fear whatever we face, because God is with us. And if God is with us, who can be against us? For Christ has overcome the world for us just as he overcame sin and death and the devil. He gave himself up for us all, suffering in our place. He bore the sins of the world on the cross, and he rose again for our justification. His resurrection and redemption have overcome sin, death, and the power of the devil. And Christ has likewise overcome the world. And because Christ has done this, we have no need to fear anything. Fear not, for you are of more value to God than you know.”
42s
“But I think the reason this story is sandwiched in between these two stories of of David's spiritual victories in sparing Saul's life is to leave you with no doubt as to the source of his victory. Because left to himself, David would have been a fool. I mean, he's literally just reacting in in emotional anger. He's plotting murder. He's about to become the fool. And so, only difference between David and Nabal and and and David and Saul is that God stopped him. That's the only difference.”

#FaithfulNotImpressive
“Now I know what some of you may be thinking. Some of you might be out there and you might say to yourself, well, I I don't really know how to talk to people about Jesus. Or maybe some of you out there may say, well, what if they ask me a question? I I I don't really know a ton of scripture. Or maybe you're out there and you look at your life and you say to yourself that you don't really have a dramatic testimony. You're you're not a preacher, you're you're not a teacher. But I want you to understand something very important. God is not asking you to be impressive. He's asking you to be faithful. You see, God is asking you to go out into this world and share the hope and the love of Christ with everyone that you can. And the good news is that you don't have to save anyone because Jesus is the one that saves. The good news is that you don't have to change people's hearts because the Holy Spirit is the one that changes hearts. And the good news is that you're not out there responsible for producing a great harvest because you know what? God is the one that produces the harvest.”
55s
#ChristFirstFruit
“So Jesus doesn't just call us to admire him from the distance. He doesn't just call us to be a church in Tinder and check a box off our list on a Sunday morning. He doesn't just call us to proclaim his name and identify as a Christian when it's popular. He calls us to abide in him. When Christ is first in our life, then there is fruit that is produced and it makes a kingdom impact. But when the world becomes first in our life, when the cares of the world and the things of this world become the top priority, then the word of God, the hope of our life. Jesus Christ himself, it's all choked out as a priority.”
45s
#MissionFieldAtHome
“You see the fruit of God's word in you ultimately becomes the gospel seed that is spread through you. So I wanna remind you today that your home, your home is a mission field. Your neighborhood is a mission field. That your school and your workplace and the coffee shop and the gym and the team that you're on, all of the online conversations that you have, it's a mission field. And God has planted you right where you're at on purpose. So make it count and make a difference for the glory of God.”
74s
“Today, I just I'm calling this the the secret defining joy in the journey. They're not my secrets and revelations. They come from scripture and from these stories I just read. But I just wanna give you three things to think about today. The first is this, your circumstances as temporary. I don't care how difficult they are, how long they've been going on, work to see your circumstances as temporary. When you were in your most difficult seasons and darkest moments, I know it's hard to see beyond those things. I often envision those moments like I'm I'm stranded out in the middle of the ocean with with no land within view. No other boats are coming to my rescue. A storm is raging, and the waves are so big that I can't see over them. All I can see is my circumstances. And in that moment, my destination is easily forgotten. But the truth is this, my circumstances might feel desperate and hopeless, but they are temporary.”

Why Crawfordsville churches are unique

With Wabash College at the heart of town, churches in Crawfordsville often engage an academically minded, predominantly young male population alongside faculty and local professionals. That campus energy shows up in mentoring, open conversations about vocation and belief, and service opportunities that connect theory to practice, supported by college student ministries, young men's discipleship, and faith and learning discussions.
A tight-knit Midwestern culture—with multigenerational families, a blue‑collar work ethic, and active volunteer networks—shapes how Crawfordsville churches do community. Congregations tend to emphasize hospitality, practical help, and rhythms that fit family life, often expressed through small group culture, strong kids programs for young families, and community service and food outreach.
Historic neighborhoods around the courthouse square and the natural beauty of Sugar Creek give worship a strong sense of place in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Many congregations blend timeless forms with approachable gatherings and town‑and‑country outreach, reflected in blended traditional and contemporary worship, historic liturgy and choir, and creation care and local missions.
