The Manure Sermon: When Life is Messy | Trinity Sermons

What if the crap in your life isn't all useless? What if your biggest regrets can become your most fruitful moments? Just like manure is waste that fertilizes the field, our messy moments can drive our deepest growth. Diving into Jesus' parable of the barren fig tree (Luke 13:6-9), we explore the ways that Jesus uses our waste to grow new fruit. Although it seems to be full of urgency and judgement, Rob shows us how this parable actually reveals God's grace and the amazing love of Jesus. It might be the crappiest sermon you’ve ever heard - but it just might be good news.
