Spiritual Law of Sowing & Reaping

Nov 13, 2025    Pastor Scott Ochsner

This message takes us deep into the spiritual law of sowing and reaping, reminding us that we are blessed not for our own sake, but to be a blessing to others. Drawing from foundational passages like Psalms 35:27, Deuteronomy 8:18, and 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, we're challenged to see God as our source of prosperity—not the government, not our jobs, but the Lord Himself who gives us power to be successful. The core truth here is revolutionary: giving is not optional in the Kingdom; it's the very pathway to increase. We learn that God takes pleasure in our prosperity because it enables us to fulfill His purposes on earth. The message confronts our tendency to think small, to give reluctantly, or to view generosity as something only for the wealthy. Instead, we're shown that the measure we use when blessing others determines the measure we receive back—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. This isn't about greed or materialism; it's about understanding that God wants resources flowing through us, not just to us. When we grasp that every seed we plant—even a penny found on the ground—has Kingdom potential, our entire perspective on giving transforms. We're invited to move from being consumers to being conduits of God's blessing.
