Planting and Harvesting!

What a great life we have been granted by God!  Job replied to God, “I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things too wonderful for me!”  Job 42:3 (b) And in verse 5, he said, “I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes…”

Apostle Paul said to the church in Corinth,  “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.  So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.”  I Corinthians 3:6-7

These verses challenged me this week.  In fact, this morning another verse that further encouraged me and prepared me for this year’s theme was from Ecclesiastes 11:6 “Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity or another- or may be both.”

We have already seen God perform wonderful things in our midst.  I believe more exciting things are waiting for us still.  We expect to plant seeds of hope, comfort, salvation, joy, peace, faith, truth, reconciliation, forgiveness, restoration, cooperation, recovery, transformation.  We believe each one of these seeds will germinate to take life in those individuals who allow God to work in their lives and produce harvest for Him.

I hope you will come to church on Sunday and experience a portion of what God is doing in our midst.  There is a surprise waiting for you this Sunday.  Please do not miss it.  See you there!

Pastor Daniel

   I’m so glad that I was able to come last Sunday and take a part of the project “Plant… to harvest”
   I noticed two sprouts this morning. I hope that I will be able to plant some seeds in my Jewish neighbors hearts as well. What kind of seeds from the Bible could produce a sprout in Jewish heart?

   Isaiah prophecies matched with New Testament fulfillments!
