Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “I really thought I’d be farther along by now”? Pastor Jason continues our series by looking at why becoming more like Jesus is often slower and messier than we expect. Join us as we talk about what it looks like to keep taking faithful steps, trust God when we can’t see what He’s doing, and not give up when change feels slow.
Outline
- Sow Faithfully
- Becoming more like Jesus happens through thousands of small, ordinary choices. As we keep in step with the Spirit, those choices may feel insignificant in the moment, but over time they shape who we are becoming.
- Wait Patiently
- There is often a gap between the seeds we sow and the growth we can see. Just because change isn’t visible doesn’t mean God isn’t at work. We can trust Him with what is happening beneath the surface.
- Don’t Quit
- Following Jesus can feel slow, messy, and discouraging, especially when we find ourselves struggling with the same things again. But growth isn’t always a straight line. Keep taking the next faithful step, trusting that the God who began the work in us will be faithful to finish it.
Passage
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
