Sermons About Harvest
The Power of Focus
You will only have real spiritual growth in life by learning the power of focus. To achieve what God wants for you – you must be a person of focus. In 2 Timothy 2 Paul is writing to Timothy in a jail cell and he is telling him how to be a focused, growing disciple. He gives him three illustrations to teach him how to use the power of focus.

Life as Dirt
Over the years, I've had opportunity to share about Jesus with lots of people, and it never ceases to amaze me their varied responses. Some flatly refuse. Others quickly respond, but then wilt away. Still others seem to get side-tracked mid-way along the journey. And another group goes on to accomplish much for the kingdom of God. There are lots of times I am frustrated that not everyone responds to the Gospel message with the same vigor and excitement. I want everyone to bear much fruit. But it doesn't seem to be the way. That's what Jesus is talking about today. I hope you're okay playing the role as "dirt", because that's what you are in this parable! Our receptiveness to the Gospel is represented by four types of soil. The key distinguishing factor of good soil, as we will discover today, is that it produces a harvest. What type of spiritual fruit is being produced in your life? Key Passage: Matthew 13:1-23

How Does Your Garden Grow?
How critical is it that we weed out all the evil in the world around us? So much of the political agenda of the evangelical church seems to be the opposition of evil. This is not all bad, but should it be our main agenda? Jesus seems to calm his disciples' fears about all the evil in the world by simply acknowledging that the weeds grow alongside the wheat. The prudent farmer doesn't worry about ripping out the weeds - but about growing healthy wheat. On the harvest day, the good and bad will be separated. In the meanwhile, our focus is to be on growing the good! Key Passage: Matthew 13:24-30, 47-50

We've never seen it like this before (Why the Harvest is Perishing part2)
We've never seen it like this before. The drug epidemic has such a grip on our nation that the jails cannot contain the growing number of offenders. The pursuit of life liberty and happiness has also resulted in marriages that barely last through the honeymoon. On top of all that, the nation of Joel 1:6 that has come upon this land with the teeth of a great lion.

Why does the harvest perish?
Complacent Christians can become numbed with the pleasures and conveniences of this world. The Word of the Lord, through the prophet Joel, is applied in this sermon to the present-day believer who is not minding the work of the Lord as he should.
