Pastor Jeremy shares Sunday in Glendive.
Sports teams have a system designed to create,
develop, & restore talent called their “Farm System”
In the business world this process is known as a company’s
“leadership pipeline."
God has used a farm system since the
beginning... companies and sports teams have
modified/twisted and adapted these principles to serve
themselves rather than serve people/generations.
God’s Farm System
1. Create believers
a. Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob
i. Gen. 18:19 For I have known him, in
order that he may command his
children and his household after him,
that they keep the way of the Lord, to
do righteousness and justice, that the
Lord may bring to Abraham what He
has spoken to him.”
ii. Deut 6:5 You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, with all your
soul, and with all your strength. 6 "And
these words which I command you
today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall
teach them diligently to your children,
and shall talk of them when you sit in
your house, when you walk by the way,
when you lie down, and when you rise
up.
b. Samaritan Woman - John 4
c. Ministry of the Holy Spirit upon a believer
i. Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon
you; and you shall be witnesses to Me
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
