Sowing the word
Challenge to be more specific
What is meant by sowing the word?
New Testament III: Luke (The Sower Is Jesus)
CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA:
He is truly the Sower of all that is good, and we are his farm.
The whole harvest of spiritual fruits is by him and from him.
He taught us this when he said, “Without me you can do nothing.”
When the word is sown what is actually grown.
Any spiritual fruit
Spiritual fruit imparts an effect on as many areas in our lives as we allow it to.
Affects our marriages
careers
finances
childrearing
church community/family
services
Each seed has great potential for big impact
The potential for spiritual impact is related to my efforts to cultivate
Sowing seeds takes time and work.
time at the beginning is rather slow and frustrating because little is seen
questions and doubt arise…is this worth the effort
ex.
food drive
small steps of faith are opening greater doors
ex.
family / church
little to no sense of family when we began SBSS
but now I see my family
because we consistently sowed seeds together when we faced challenges and set backs but came back to the table together
We need to be patient and persistent in our sowing.
