The Law of Harvest

Nov 16, 2025    Pastor Jeremy Peters

This powerful message invites us into a profound exploration of spiritual vision and generational legacy through the lens of 2 Corinthians 8-9. We're challenged to consider a sobering truth: where there is no vision, people perish. Just as our physical eyesight may diminish with age, our spiritual vision can also fade if we're not intentional about maintaining it. The sermon draws us into the story of the Corinthian church—a community that, despite being 'very poor,' overflowed with 'abundant joy' and 'rich generosity.' This paradox reveals a transformative principle: generosity flows not from our bank accounts but from the condition of our hearts. We're reminded of Moses at 120 years old, whose eyes were not dim even though he couldn't physically enter the Promised Land—he could still see the promise. This is the kind of vision we're called to cultivate: the ability to plant seeds for harvests we may never personally reap, to invest in generations we may never meet. The message beautifully weaves together the church's 100-year history with stories of families whose spiritual legacy spans five generations, all because someone chose to dig a hole and plant a seed. We're confronted with a compelling question: Are we merely consuming the blessings others have sown, or are we actively blessing the generations to come? The call is clear—move from benefiting to blessing, from having a seat to wielding a shovel, from building our own kingdoms to establishing His.
