Sunday Morning Series - The Laws of Increase - Learning to Sow

Text:  Genesis 26:1-33

Last week, we saw that we honor God by bringing the tithes into the storehouse. We sow from what is our own into:

God's ministries
God's ministers and God's commands.

Alms, or gifts to the needy, also carry a blessing.

Factors in Sowing

1)  Sow good seed.

     A)  Matthew 13:24-30
     B)  Good seed would be:

           1)  Word that is true and understood.
           2)  Things that are good and desirable.

     C)  You cannot sow what you do not treasure to reap what you cannot measure.

2)  Sow in good soil.

     A)  The Parable of the Sower

           1)  Good soil is that which produces more seed
           2)  And not mesured in the use of the harvest.

     B)  Was Jeremiah good soil?

           1)  When God gave him a word, he gave it to the people.
           2)  Even though no one listened to him, he obeyed God.

     C)  Bad soil is soil that causes the seed sown to become unproductive.

     D)  Good soil in ministry is teaching the Word, exposing darkness, and making disciples to name
           a few attributes.

     E)  Good soil in people is giving to someone else. If you give them something, they will
           increase it.
