This week, Pastor David is starting a new series on the subject of Extravagant Worship. We want to learn what the Bible says about this subject and then we want to put into practice worship both here corporately with the hope it will continue privately because worship is not a one day event. Worship is not a spectator sport but a vital part of a believers life. 

Harvest - Can you see the Harvest?

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 28, 2019 27:52


One of the first times Jesus teaches his disciples concerning the subject of the harvest He spoke these words in John 4.  31Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” 32But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33So the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?” 34Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. 35Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. 36Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. 37For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”(John 4:31-38ESV) Last week we studied the process of the harvest. How God plants a seed and that seed turns into stalks, and that stalk produces fruit in due time. In this episode, Pastor David want to teach a few passages when Jesus spoke about a harvest and what He saw concerning the harvest.

Harvest - The Process of Harvest

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 28, 2019 34:15


We all know that God is like a farmer that planted a seed to fulfill the purpose of redemption. He puts the seed in the life of a man named Abram that would later become Abraham. Abraham would cut a covenant of faith with God and God promised to make him the father of many nations. This promise was made to a man that was 75 with no children. Also in that promise was another promise that God would bless the world through this covenant. In this episode, Pastor David wants to teach us about the process of the harvest, especially in conjunction with the gift of salvation. Last week was the potential of the seed! Potential, potential, potential; this week it’s process, process, process.

Harvest - The Seed

They don’t put a picture of all the hard work required to produce a harvest on the seed package. They give you a picture of the potential outcome. This picture of the potential grabs the heart of the farmer and the hope in the potential of the seed motivates the man to do the work required. He values the seed and the work begins. He is willing to tear some stuff up and change the landscape, he is willing to fight the battle with weeds and bugs, he is willing to have faith for the rain and patient enough to wait til maturity not satisfied with temporary increase but protects all the way to harvest. Pastor David wants to talk to us about the power of the seed and its connection to harvest.  

Harvest - The Parable of the Sower

Jesus begins a new way of teaching in his ministry. He starts teaching through parables. A parable is putting something alongside something else to better understand it, the placing of one thing alongside another so that a comparison can be made.  What Jesus did was put a story alongside a spiritual truth to make it better understood. In this episode, we are challenged to seek the Lord on what type of soil does our heart represent of the four soils described in this parable.

Last week we studied how the Bible addressed fear and it declared that perfect love could defeat fear. We saw how God being with us and His love is the origin of perfect love, we don’t have to be afraid we are never alone. That was how God revealed Himself to Joshua as he was taking on the responsibilities of leadership. We learned that strength and courage could position you for success but to sustain success the Word of God was foundational and necessary.

Did you know that the Bible mentions the subject of fear 350 times and 70 times it tells us specifically not to be afraid? Pastor David is going to help find some answers and applications in scripture for the subject of fear. Fear is something that everyone has to deal with in one time or another in their life. Some conquer the enemy of fear and others become debilitated by it.
