The Farm

April 7, 2026

Pastor Jeremy brings a message that instills a sense of belonging and ownership in the Church. There are many links to agriculture in the Bible that act as metaphors for how we as Christians are meant to lead the Church. We are to take ownership of our roles in the church so we can Sow new “seeds” and Reap the Harvest. Enjoy!

Questions to Ask

  1. What does the Bible mean by “you reap what you sow” in Bible (Galatians 6:7-9)?
    How does this principle apply to everyday decisions, priorities, and spiritual growth?
  2. How can Christians actively “sow and water” in their local church and community?
    What are practical ways to invest in something that has eternal impact?
  3. What is the biblical role of the church as “God’s field” in 1 Corinthians 3:5-11?
    How does this farming metaphor shape our understanding of purpose and responsibility?
  4. Are you living out your faith or just observing it? (Farming vs. agritourism)
    What are the signs that someone is truly engaged in spiritual growth versus just attending church?

Key Takeaways

  1. Sowing into eternal things leads to lasting impact
    The principle of sowing and reaping in the Bible teaches that what you invest in spiritually will outlive temporary success, comfort, or routine.
  2. God is responsible for growth, but we are responsible for obedience
    Believers are called to plant and water seeds of faith, trusting God to bring the increase (Mark 4:26-27).
  3. The church is both a mission field and a place of transformation
    Christians are not only workers in God’s “farm” but also the soil—meaning God is growing something in us while working through us.
  4. True Christianity requires participation, not passive attendance
    The contrast between farming and agritourism highlights that faith isn’t about consuming an experience—it’s about contributing to the mission and advancing the harvest.
