God's Growth, God's Harvest

1Cor.3:5-11 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
God is sovereign over all! His Word is true!
Ps.119:88-91 In your steadfast love give me life, that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth. Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast. By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants.
We stand on God's Word. We are a witness to His truth!We are here to show the hope that is found in Christ! We are sent to the ends of the earth to proclaim His righteousness. We plant seeds of His Word and He reaps the harvest of sinners saved by grace through His Son! Christ is the Lord of the harvest!
Matt.9:37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few
Matt.9:38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Romans 10:12-18 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?" So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."
Lord, snatch them from hell by Your power! Amen
Jude 1:23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
1 John 5:11And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
