Yard Work

In this message, Pastor Jarod uses the picture of yard work to show how cutting back, growing up, and walking in freedom requires effort—but it’s worth the work. Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23, we learn that God is the one who sanctifies us, but He can only sanctify what we surrender.

Through four practical steps—Yielding, Alignment, Renewal, and Discipline—we discover how spiritual growth happens when we stay committed to the process. Sanctified doesn’t mean perfect; it means committed. And just like yard work, transformation takes time, attention, and a willingness to keep it between the lines.
