Sermon Title: GODs HAND IN THE HARVEST - Pt2

Sermon Text: 1 Corinthians 3:6

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.


POINT 1
Being transformed means I can’t use my old methods and old weapons and win at this level.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 King James Version (KJV)
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.


POINT 2
Real transformation will no longer let you play the victim but it will make you victorious.

1 Peter 4:12-13 King James Version (KJV)
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of CHRIST’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

POINT 3
Transformation produces growth in sanctification.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 New International Version (NIV)
May God himself, the GOD of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Sermon Title: GODs HAND IN THE HARVEST

Sermon Text: 1 Corinthians 3:6

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.

POINT 1 - Growth requires HUNGER.
Deuteronomy 8:3 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

3 He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.

POINT 2  - Growth in GOD will CHANGE your MIND.
Romans 12:2 New International Version (NIV)
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

POINT 3 - Growth in GOD requires GROWTH in SANCTIFICATION.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 New International Version (NIV)
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


LIFE APPLICATION

1. Growth happens as we walk in obedience to GOD.
2. Your harvest will change your mind body and spirit.
3. Your hunger for GOD will bring increase in your life.

Don’t Let The Devil Stunt Your Growth Before The Harvest

Matthew 13:24-30 New International Version (NIV)

24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”



POINT 1

The devil stunts growth through DISTRACTIONS. (Luke 10:38-42)

POINT 2
Don’t stunt your own growth through SELF-DECEPTION. (James 1:22)

POINT 3

The devil stunts growth through DIVISION. (Romans 16:17)

POINT 4

The devil stunts growth through DISCOURAGEMENT.



LIFE APPLICATION

• GOD HAS ANOINTED YOU TO THRIVE IN HIM
• WHAT GOD HAS SOWN IN YOU CANT BE STOPPED
• THIS IS YOUR SEASON TO REAP YOUR HARVEST

Sermon Title: Reaping The Harvest of Lost Souls

Sermon Text: Matthew 9:36-38 (NIV)

36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

POINT 1

ONLY WHAT HAS BEEN SOWN WILL BE REAPED.

Galatians 6:7  Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

POINT 2

IF YOU ARE SOWING AND REAPING YOU HAVE ALSO WAITED.

Genesis 8:22  As long as the earth endures there will be seedtime and harvest…

POINT 3

YOUR SOW SEASON IS DIFFERENT THAN YOUR REAP SEASON…

Galatians 6:7  Do not be deceived:  God cannot be mocked.  A man reaps what he sows.

LIFE APPLICATION

·       Ask God to lead you to the harvest

·       Don’t expect growth over night

·       Don’t give up while waiting

·      You will always reap more than you sow
