Listen and be encouraged to live a rewarding life as you plant seeds for a greater harvest and make an eternal difference. Our lives can be consumed by the tyranny of the urgent and the trap of the rat race unless we purposefully pursue the life God desires for us. 

Episode Summary:

Pastor Chris Teien challenges believers to live as laborers for God’s Kingdom, focusing on the eternal rewards of working for a spiritual harvest. Drawing from Matthew 9:37-38 and Galatians 6:9, this message encourages listeners to persevere in doing good, even when results seem distant. With practical insights and real-life examples, this episode equips listeners to stay faithful in sowing seeds and trusting God for the harvest.

Key Points:

  1. The Harvest is Plentiful, but Laborers are Few
    • Jesus calls us to see the spiritual harvest and join Him in His work.
    • Example: Pastor Chris illustrates how faithfulness in sowing seeds can lead to surprising fruit over time.
  2. Perseverance Brings Rewards
    • Galatians 6:9 reminds us not to grow weary in doing good, for we will reap a harvest in due season if we do not give up.
    • Encouragement: God sees our efforts, even when the results aren’t immediate.
  3. Work with an Eternal Perspective
    • Invest your time, talents, and resources in what has eternal value.
    • Practical step: Identify one way to serve others this week that reflects God’s love and advances His Kingdom.

Notable Quotes:

  • "The size of the harvest isn’t determined by our strength but by our faithfulness to God’s call."
  • "When we sow seeds of love, faith, and truth, God promises to bring a harvest in His perfect timing."
