Wow! What an incredible sermon about the spiritual law of the harvest from Pastor Travis Hearn! PT delivered a powerful message about sowing seeds and reaping God's blessings. Can you imagine that everything in life starts as a seed - every dream, every business, every miracle? The most mind-blowing part is that God is waiting for US to plant our seeds, not the other way around! Pastor Travis broke down five incredible facts about the law of the harvest that will revolutionize how you think about giving and faith. He shared powerful personal stories, like recovering from a stroke by sowing seeds of health, and challenged the church to do something radical for God's kingdom. The most compelling moment was when he shared how God challenged him to give $100,000 - and then miraculously provided the resources! This sermon isn't just about money, it's about radical faith and trusting God to multiply what you're willing to plant. Whether it's finances, health, relationships, or spiritual growth, PT reminded us that you grow exactly what you sow. Are you ready to plant some radical seeds?

  • Mark 4:26-29 - "He also said, 'This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.'" (NIV)
  • James 2:17 - "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." (NIV)

  • Galatians 6:7-8 - "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." (NIV)
  • 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 - "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (NIV)
  • Luke 6:38 - "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (NIV)
