What are you sowing into your life, your family, and your relationships? In Galatians 6:6–10, the Apostle Paul gives a sobering warning: God is not mocked. Whatever a person sows, that is what he will reap. In this sermon, we examine Paul's teaching on generosity, stewardship, the eternal consequences of our choices, and the importance of persevering in doing good. Everything we possess—our resources, abilities, time, and opportunities—is given to us by God, and we are accountable for how we use what He has entrusted to us. The principle of sowing and reaping extends far beyond financial generosity. It affects our marriages, families, churches, relationships, and every institution in which we participate. When we continually sow resentment, contempt, anger, and the works of the flesh, we should not be surprised when those relationships suffer. But when we sow to the Spirit, we cultivate the fruit of life. **In this sermon, we consider:** - **Generosity and stewardship:** Why those who receive instruction in the Word should share good things with those who teach them, and why all our resources ultimately belong to God. - **God is not mocked:** Why our actions have consequences and why we cannot escape God's judgment by assuming our choices go unnoticed. - **Sowing to the flesh or the Spirit:** The difference between planting seeds that produce corruption and those that produce life. - **The eternal harvest:** Why Paul's warning goes beyond temporary consequences and points us toward eternal life and corruption. - **Sowing into our relationships:** How resentment, contempt, and selfishness destroy marriages, families, and churches, while the fruit of the Spirit builds them up. - **The order of our responsibilities:** Why we must faithfully care for those closest to us, beginning with our relationship with God, then our households, and extending outward to the church and our neighbors. - **Persevering in doing good:** Why Christians must not grow weary in faithful obedience, even when the immediate results seem small. - **The work of Christ:** How Jesus Christ has borne the punishment for our sins and planted the ultimate seed of life in His people, ensuring that our hope rests in His finished work rather than our own perfection. The message is not that we earn salvation through good works. Rather, those who have been given life through Christ are called to sow life by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our failures should drive us to repentance and renewed dependence upon Christ, who continues to sanctify His people and produce fruit in them. **What are you sowing?** Examine your life, your relationships, and your priorities. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. 📖 **Scripture:** Galatians 6:6–10 📍 **Grace Covenant Reformed Church** Clovis, New Mexico 🌐 Learn more about our church, our beliefs, and our ministry: **www.clovisreformed.com** Subscribe for more Reformed preaching, biblical teaching, and sermons from Grace Covenant Reformed Church. #Galatians6 #YouReapWhatYouSow #SowingAndReaping #ChristianStewardship #FruitOfTheSpirit #ChristianLiving #ReformedTheology #BiblicalPreaching #GraceCovenantReformedChurch

What happens when God's people are called to action but choose comfort instead? In Judges 4:10–24, we see the Lord deliver Israel from the Canaanite army through unlikely instruments—including Deborah, Barak, and Jael. Yet the account also exposes the shame of those who refuse to answer God's call.

In this sermon from **Judges 4:10–24**, we examine the faithfulness of those who answered the call of the Lord, the unfaithfulness of those who preferred their own comfort, and the sovereignty of God in accomplishing His purposes through unexpected people.

The account of Deborah, Barak, and Jael is more than a story of military victory. It is a sobering reminder that God's people are not called to sit comfortably on the sidelines while the work of His kingdom goes undone.

**In this sermon, we consider:**

- **The danger of comfortable unfaithfulness:** The tribes of Reuben, Gad, Dan, and Asher demonstrate what happens when personal comfort takes priority over the work God has given His people.

- **Answering the call of Christ:** God's people are called to more than passive belief. We are called to faithfulness, obedience, worship, discipleship, and the advancement of Christ's kingdom.

- **The responsibility of Christian men:** Barak's reluctance points us toward the responsibility husbands and fathers have to lead their households in the ways of the Lord.

- **God's use of unlikely instruments:** Deborah and Jael demonstrate that God accomplishes His purposes even when the men who should be leading fail to answer the call.

- **The sovereignty and glory of God:** Israel's victory was not ultimately the achievement of Barak, Deborah, or the army. The Lord went before them and secured the victory.

- **Christlike leadership:** Biblical authority is not an excuse for harshness or domination. Christian husbands and fathers are called to lead through humble, sacrificial service, following the example of Christ.

**A central challenge from this passage:** Christian men must lead their families toward Christ—not through selfish power or harshness, but through faithful, servant-hearted obedience to the Lord. And every Christian must recognize that our covenant with Christ comes before every other earthly allegiance.

The Lord goes before His people. May He give us the faith to answer His call, the courage to obey His Word, and the humility to serve those He has placed in our care.

The Protestant Reformation did not end in 1517. The truths recovered during the Reformation continue to shape the church and call Christians to reform every area of life according to the Word of God.

In this Reformation Day message, we look beyond Martin Luther's famous 95 Theses to consider the providence of God in the Protestant Reformation, the recovery of the gospel, and the spiritual heritage we have received. We are reminded that the Reformation was never ultimately about one man, but about what God accomplished through the proclamation of His Word.

From the sufficiency of Scripture and the sufficiency of Christ to salvation by grace alone through faith alone, we consider the foundational truths that transformed the church and brought Christian freedom to believers.

But the need for reformation did not end with the sixteenth century. Romans 12:2 calls us not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. That reformation must begin in our own lives and families, extend into the church, and reach our communities, cities, states, and nations.

**In this message, we consider:**

- The historical circumstances that led to the Protestant Reformation

- Martin Luther's 95 Theses and the biblical doctrine of repentance

- The corruption of indulgences, penance, and the authority claimed by Rome

- The central truths of the Reformation: Scripture alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and the glory of God alone

- The Christian's calling to serve as priest, prophet, and king under Christ

- Why the church must continue reforming its life and practice according to Scripture

- The need for godly leadership, sound theology, political protection, and the work of the Holy Spirit

- Why we must pray for revival and the reformation of the church and our nation

The question before us is not simply whether we appreciate the Reformation of the past, but whether we are willing to see our own lives, families, churches, and communities reformed by the Word of God.

**The Scriptures are sufficient. Christ is sufficient. May God continue His work of reformation in our day.**

What should Christians do when a brother or sister falls into sin? Are we called to ignore their failures, condemn them, or walk away when church relationships become difficult? In Galatians 6:1–5, the Apostle Paul gives us a very different picture of Christian responsibility: we are called to restore one another in a spirit of gentleness, bear one another's burdens, and walk in humility.

In this sermon, we examine the biblical responsibility Christians have toward one another and confront the pride that so often damages relationships within the church and our own households. Our increasingly individualistic society encourages us to discard relationships when they become difficult. But Scripture calls the people of God to something entirely different: a life marked by mutual care, patience, humility, and restoration.

**In this sermon, we consider:**

- Why the Christian faith is not an individualistic endeavor

- What Paul means when he commands believers to restore those caught in sin

- What it means to be spiritual and to walk by the Holy Spirit

- The importance of gentleness when confronting the sins of others

- How pride turns us into harsh judges and tyrants over those around us

- Why we must examine ourselves rather than measure our righteousness against others

- How bearing one another's burdens fulfills the law of Christ

- How Christ's humility, mercy, and sacrifice establish the pattern for our relationships

Christian restoration does not mean ignoring sin or abandoning church discipline. It means that even correction and discipline must be directed toward repentance and restoration. We must remember the extraordinary grace God has shown us and extend that same spirit of humility and patience to our brothers and sisters.

**We do not make good gods.** Our standard is not ourselves, but Christ. May our homes, churches, and relationships be marked by the same grace and mercy that we have received from Him.

What does the Bible teach about the eternal relationship between the Father and the Son? In this catechism lesson, we examine **Eternal Functional Subordination (EFS)**—not to teach or support this doctrine, but to **refute it through a proper understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity and the teaching of Scripture**.

Join us as we consider the relationship between the Father and the Son, Christ’s obedience, and the importance of faithfully understanding the triune God revealed in Scripture. Our goal is to uphold the full equality of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the one divine essence while recognizing the personal distinctions within the Trinity.

📖 **In this lesson:**

- What is Eternal Functional Subordination?

- Why we reject EFS in light of biblical Trinitarian theology

- The Father and the Son: personal distinction and divine equality

- Christ’s obedience and what Scripture teaches about the Trinity

- Why sound doctrine of the Trinity matters for the Christian faith

When life is difficult and the world seems uncertain, where do we find our confidence and reason to praise God? In **Psalm 9**, David calls the people of God to give thanks, rejoice in the Lord, and trust in His righteous judgment and steadfast faithfulness.

In this sermon, *“I Will Praise God,”* we consider how the Lord’s mighty works, justice, and care for His people give us reason to praise Him—even amid trouble and opposition. Psalm 9 reminds us that God is a refuge for the oppressed, that He does not forget the needy, and that His kingdom is established in righteousness.

📖 **In this sermon:**

- Praising God with our whole heart

- Remembering and declaring the Lord’s mighty works

- Trusting God’s righteous judgment

- Finding refuge in the Lord during times of trouble

- Resting in God’s faithfulness and sovereign rule

Join us as we study Psalm 9 and are encouraged to praise the Lord, trust in His character, and proclaim His works.

What happens when God's people are unfaithful, and their leaders hesitate to obey His commands? **Judges 4:1–9** reminds us that the Lord remains sovereign over His people and His purposes—even when human faith is weak.

In this sermon, we examine God's call to Barak through Deborah and consider what this passage teaches us about **the sovereignty of God, human weakness, faith, obedience, and the Lord's power to deliver His people**.

Israel had once again turned away from the Lord, and God raised up Deborah to deliver His command to Barak. Yet Barak hesitated, insisting that Deborah accompany him. His response raises important questions about trusting God's Word, obeying His calling, and relying on the Lord rather than our own strength.

God's purposes do not depend on the strength or courage of men. He accomplishes His will through the instruments He chooses, demonstrating that the glory for deliverance belongs to Him alone.

📖 **In this sermon, we consider:**

- Israel's repeated rebellion against God

- God's sovereignty over His people and their circumstances

- Deborah's role as a prophetess and judge in Israel

- Barak's response to God's command

- The relationship between faith, fear, and obedience

- God's use of unexpected instruments to accomplish His purposes

- The certainty of God's promises despite human weakness

- What Judges 4:1–9 teaches us about trusting and obeying the Lord

If you are studying the **Book of Judges** or seeking biblical teaching on God's sovereignty, Reformed theology, faith and obedience, biblical leadership, and the faithfulness of God, we pray this sermon will encourage you to trust the Lord and submit to His Word.
