  1. Some Principles of Sowing and Reaping

  2. Matt. 13:3-9, 18-23 • An invitation to seek the lost • Seed – the word of God (Lk. 8:11) • Soils – hearts • “parable of the sower” (Matt. 13:18) • Will we sow the seed? Parable of the Sower

  3. We are to seek ways to plant the seed. Sometimes that is all you can do. • Sometimes others build upon what we do. • John 4:35-38, 1 Cor. 3:5-9 • We are expected to sow! What you sow reaped by another

  4. Based on a law of nature (cf. Gen. 1:11,12, 21, 25, etc. • Applies in most areas of life • Gal. 6:7-9 You Reap what you sow

  5. Gal. 6:8 - If you sow to the flesh – you reap corruption Hos. 8:7, 10:12-13, Prov. 22:8 • How does one sow in iniquity? Immorality, teaching false doctrines, sowing discord Prov. 6:12-15, 19, etc. You Reap what you sow

  6. Gal. 6:8 - If you sow to Spirit, you will reap eternal lifeGal. 5:22-23, Prov. 22:8Psalm 126:5-6 • How does one sow to the Spirit? With peace, planting the seed of God’s word, etc. James 3:18 You Reap what you sow

  7. Making application: If we sow the seed of the word, we will reap Christians. • If you sow anything else, you will get something different. Matt. 15:9 You Reap what you sow

  8. Another law involving quantities. • 2 Cor. 9:6 • True in many areas of life – our time, abilities, resources, righteous works, etc. • God knows what you are doing Matt. 25:14-30, 10:42 Sowing bountifully/sparingly

  9. Crops take time to grow • So it is with Christians and the seed we sow with others. • cf. 2 Cor. 1:23-24 • Rev. 2:21 – time to repent • James 5:7-8, 2 Tim. 2:6 • Are you sowing patiently? After you sow, be patient

  10. Judgment described as a harvest • Matt. 13:24-30 – parable of tares, see vs. 39-42 • Cf. Rev. 14:14-16 • Acts 17:31 – a day appointed The Coming harvest

  11. How do we prepare for this harvest? • Sow the seed of the word • Sow bountifully and patiently • Expect to reap righteousness The Coming harvest

  12. Are we sowing in this life so that we can reap the good harvest in the next?
