Sowing Seeds of Faith and Obedience 0:00 Welcome to all those that are joining us for the first time. They're joining us for the end of a 6 week series we've been doing. And before we jump into the last portion of our series we've been talking about as a0:10 church, let me share a couple things as this is the last day of our series. The first thing is, this Wednesday is gonna be incredible. And so, if you've been navigating, raising children, raising grandchildren, stepping0:22 into a relationship or marriage, every Beyond I Do night, we're gonna do 4 this year, every quarter, we're gonna have a specific theme and topic, and we're going to have conversation around. And so, like Ashley shared,0:33 this 1 this Wednesday is going to be on how to raise a godly family. We're going to have different people of different seasons of life, whether it's children, teenagers, grown children now, Kind of have a conversation0:45 of what type of steps have happened to raise godly children, and what things can we apply into our own lives. So that's gonna be really great. Additionally, on Sunday next week is our baptism day all in. It's gonna0:56 happen on Sunday, and here's what the next couple weeks are gonna look like, because I know for the past 6 weeks we've been really having some family talk. And I've talked to people in our church and they were like, I've1:07 been inviting first time guests and friends for months and sometimes years, and the weekends they decided to come were the time that we were in this series, you know? And some were like, oh this is great, I love to see1:19 that your church is, you know, doing a financial campaign, that's awesome. It means that it's alive and there's vision. And then there was other first time guests that people invited their friends and were like, well,1:29 not the first weekend I would love to show up to, you know, type of thing. And I get that. And so, coming up for the next couple weeks, starting Baptism weekend next weekend, but then for the next 3 weeks after that,1:40 we're gonna step into a series, but it's not a new series. Our church this month is 31 years old. And so, it's absolutely incredible that in 19 94, March of 191:51 94, Pastor Diego and Cindy, my parents would open up their home and 12 people would show up on a Sunday. At that time, only about 12 to 20 people heard this2:03 sermon series because when my dad planted this church in 19 94 in Fontana, he started a series and he launched the church with a series called Secret Wounds and Silent Cries of the World. And so when he2:15 was preaching, he was preaching about how Jesus is there for those secret cries that you have and those silent wounds that you have. And so 31 years later, we're actually going to redo that series. Pastor Diego's2:27 going to come and help preach it as well. And so for after 31 years, we're going to revisit the secret wounds and silent Christ sermon series. Next week we have baptism, but after that is going to be2:39 that series. Here's why that matters, because I know we've been in a very heavy family talk season, talking about 20000000 dollars of vision God has given our church with the growth that we're seeing across all of our2:51 campuses. So what we want to do over the next 4 weeks is honestly, we want to go fishing. We want to win people to Jesus. And so if you have friends that you feel like, you're like oh I got friends, I know they got3:02 secret wounds. I got friends that I know they have silent cries. Well we're gonna navigate with them and how Jesus can help navigate those silent cries and those secret wounds. And so, this next 4 weeks is a great3:14 time to invite a friend. If you know a friend that's going through something in life, you can invite them next week for baptism weekend. They're not gonna, may not decide to be baptized, but God will begin to speak to3:24 them starting next week. But then the weeks after that, the entire month of March, I believe God is gonna not only speak to you, but He's gonna speak to some people that you really care about that have been navigating3:34 maybe some hard times in their life. And so, this series is meant for you because people have been coming to say Pastor Adam, I want to invite my friends, but I want to invite them on a weekend that we're talking about3:43 20000000 dollars And so, I get that. So, from here on out, you can start inviting your friends on those weekends where we'll talk about some other things that isn't the necessary things that we've had to talk about for3:54 the past 6 weeks. And so, I thank you so much for partnering, the excitement of the church, for believing in the vision and believing what God is doing in multiple cities. And this is the end of that series, and I'll4:05 share this before we jump in as well. On April fifth and sixth, so last Sunday, we had a commitment Sunday, where we talked about making a financial commitment over the next 3 years to believe God to do4:17 more vision in our church. And if you have your journal, or you have been with us, you can either go to our website and see Beyond and see all the projects we're doing, or your journal names, all those things. But as we4:29 begin to conclude, you may have missed last weekend. And so, over the next few weeks you can still make a pledge like Pastor Aaron talked about. So in the front of your seats, in your seat pockets, you'll find 1. Not4:41 everyone comes to church every Sunday, and so some of you guys may have missed last week. And you still want to believe God for what God's doing in the Beyond campaign, and you want to still make a commitment with the4:51 church, because this is your home church. If you're just visiting our church, if you're just checking out our church, this isn't for you to participate in, unless you'd like to. But this really isn't for you to5:00 participate in. This is for people that call Patria home, and what we're believing God and what we're investing in is actually for all those new people that are coming to Patria to make room for them, for God to minister5:11 to them. And so, it's not too late, you could still make a commitment all the way through the end of this month and beyond. And then today at the end of service, we're going to make some space that if anyone would like5:21 to actually sow a seed offering into what God is doing in the church, because we're going to start projects right away. And so if you want to partner with us in that way, all of you came with an envelope. But what we're5:32 gonna do at the end of service, many of you if you're like me, I don't give cash or check anymore, I give online. And so this is also kind of a signifier. And so even today when we go to sow, you could just5:44 put your name on it and and put online or something like that, or or but we want to be able to have let you participate if you want to, to come up and put an empty 1 of these. And our finance team knows if it's empty,5:56 then more than likely you were doing it to signify what you're already gonna do online as well. And that's okay, because that's what I'm gonna be doing at the end of service as well. Well, you may have missed the past6:06 couple weeks, and so before we dig into the Word of God, our team put together a little recap so that you can see all that God has been speaking to our church over the past 5 weeks. So let's check that out. How many6:18 times God has called us as believers not to give out of our convenience, but to give out of our sacrifice.6:24 What kind of church would we have if everybody patterned their giving after you?6:30 You when you want basic training and you wanna be built up and you wanna believe that you read acts, you want God to grow your life, you need you need a home base.6:38 Christianity is not only a movement of grace, it is a movement of radical generosity.6:44 With your time, sacrificially giving with your talents, sacrificially gifting with potentially your treasure. But do6:56 you really rely on him? Do you really depend on him? Because what does dependence on Jesus look like? We talked about last week. Obedience is what it looks like. But you're like, okay. I can move up. And7:08 then you go to these steps, and then you just Where all that noise coming? Now it's just7:20 loud. As if you can silence Satan's voice, and you can filter the world's voices, what you will begin to do is now you'll begin to be able to hear God's voice. And so what are you guys willing to do? Are you7:32 willing do you wanna take your donut right now, and half of the people here ain't gonna get it? Or do you want do you wanna give this to me and and wait for 20 more minutes,7:44 and everybody else is going to get a donut.7:47 Can I7:47 keep it? We can keep it?7:48 Pray about it. We can7:49 he said, let me pray about it. Let me see. Ask quick. Ask quick.7:55 Many of you are a byproduct of people that sacrifice. I'm only asking you to do that. I did that for my 3 boys, Nathan, Caleb, and Adam, and your children that were my8:07 their age of my children so that they'd have a place to connect with God.8:13 I thank you for every individual in here that calls patriah home. But not only calls patriah home, they call it family, father. Because when they step on this8:26 And so many of us who call Patriot our home church, we wanna see God do more. 200 of these cards were turned in. They made a pre commitment as leaders in our church. Guess how much was already committed to8:38 the beyond campaign? I have the number. It was 3343979 dollars Then it's safe to say,8:50 man, if 200 families believe that much to carry 17 percent of the burden when there's still over 7000, over 8000 families to go? Well, guess what? There are leaders that believe in what9:02 Patriot is doing. If we're doing9:13 community together, we can lean on each other. We we could get to where God wants to take us.9:39 Hallelujah.9:52 Alright, well praise God. God has been saying some incredible things to our church and this is the last message to this series that we've been doing and really a journey we're gonna take to see God make an impact in10:03 people's lives over the next 3 years as we do some incredible things together, projects together to make more room for those that are coming to Patria. And so, if you have a Bible and you like to turn to10:15 Galatians chapter 6, you can hold your finger there. If you don't have 1, that's okay, we'll have it up on the screen and you'll be able to follow along with us as well. But on April fifth and sixth, that weekend, we're10:27 going to share what has come in on commitments and what has come in from the miracle offering. Because we'll be able to create some space for people to still turn in their commitment cards. There's been a few thousand10:37 commitment cards already turned in from last week. And like I shared though, there's about 8000 families that call Patriot their home church. And so, we want to give some more weeks to be able to let any family that10:47 wants to participate to participate. Additionally, we want to be able to create space for any family that wants to sow in a miracle offering to see things start right away, to be able to do that over the next couple10:58 weeks as well. But if you want to join us, we'll also send out some emails. You'll see on social media on April fifth and sixth what God has done through our church and what we're going to continue to see Him do. Well,11:09 let's conclude our series in Galatians chapter 6 verses 6 to 10. If you're ready to read God's word today, would you stand for a moment as we give the Lord our full attention with the word of God as it is11:20 spoken today. Here's what the Bible says. It says let the 1 who is taught the word share all good things with the 1 who teaches. Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for11:32 whatever 1 sows that he will also reap. For the 1 who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the 1 who sows to the Spirit from the11:44 Spirit will reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. So then, as we11:56 have opportunity, let us do good to everyone and especially to those who are of the household of faith. You may be seated. Let's dig12:08 into what the Apostle Paul speaks about in this moment. What the Apostle Paul is talking about is a law in God's Word that is continually spoken about. Jesus speaks about it,12:20 the Old Testament speaks about it, and it's this law that says that what you sow tends to be what you will reap out of what you sow. Now, the Apostle Paul12:32 talks about this conversation both financially but also in life. In this moment, He talks about what it means to do good, not only to a stranger, but to do good to those that are in the12:44 household of faith. You know, Jesus even teaches this in Luke chapter 6 verse 37 to 38. Look what it says, it says do not judge, which is a type of sowing.12:55 So Jesus encouraging us don't judge. And he says, if you don't, you will not be judged. That's what you will harvest. If you don't judge, then guess what? God's not gonna judge you. And he says,13:07 now forgive. In other words, sow forgiveness. And what? God will forgive you. You will harvest forgiveness. And then he continues to say a few verses later, give, sow, and what? It will be13:19 given to you. It will be harvested. And so there's a principle that's being shared that is what you sow is what you reap. But a lot of times, in people's life, what will13:31 happen is, is right here in my hand is I have some little olive seeds right here. Little olive seeds. What we tend to do is we will sow something and13:43 then we will want to reap something completely different that has nothing what we sowed. And so what happens is if I sowed an olive seed, when it grows, what comes out of13:54 it? Olives. If I sow an olive seed, I'm not gonna reap strawberries. I'm not gonna reap cucumbers.14:06 And there are times that we will believe God for things without realizing you have been sowing seeds of the complete opposite. Like there'll be times that I'll sit down with people and they14:18 want to, they want to harvest a better relationship. I want to harvest a better marriage. And then we sit down and we're like, well let's talk about what seeds you're sowing. Like, how do you14:30 talk to your spouse? How do you talk to your children? How do you love your spouse? How do you care for your spouse? Okay, so you are sowing nothing of godly character, of14:42 goodness to your spouse, and you are asking God to give you a harvest of something beautiful. You can't have it. That's what the word of God is talking about is what we have14:54 to recognize is what we are harvesting a lot of times in our life is because of seeds we've sown. And until you become aware of the type of seeds that you're sowing, the type of thoughts that you're15:06 sowing, the type of words that you're sowing, the things that you're allowing your eyes to see. Because in my life, when I've reflected many times when things were going astray and things weren't working and I actually15:17 look at what type of seeds I'm sowing, well I was just getting what I was giving. That's all. You know, I thought to myself, this week, I happened to be at an event15:28 and 1 of the nation's most requested speaker was at this event. And I won't give his name because a conversation we had was more of a private conversation. But I, but I can share with you some of the15:40 things that he said. And so, if you know who Tony Robbins is, it wasn't him that I met, but I met someone similar to his level. He's listed literally in America as 1 of the top15:52 3 corporate speakers in America. So any company, any workplace, anything, like they want this guy to come and speak to their employees, speak and so he's doing massive16:04 conventions, massive staff meetings for some of the biggest companies in the world. And he happened to be at this event, and I caught him at the elevator. And I happened to know that he16:16 was, he's from our area somewhat. And so I just mentioned the area that I was from and we kind of started a conversation. I said, and then I said, well I specifically live in Rancho16:27 Cucamonga. And this individual says, you know, there is a preacher in Rancho Cucamonga who I believe is 1 of the greatest preachers in America. He said his name's Diego Mesa. Have you16:39 ever heard of him? And I said, yeah, I've heard of him before. And then he goes, he said you know, many, many16:51 years ago, he said is your church still on Haven and whatever it's called? I said Foothill, Haven and Foothill. He said yes, yes, yes. Is that large church, is that still there? And I said yeah, I'm aware17:03 of it. It is still there. And and he said you know what? Many, many years ago when I was first starting to speak, I used to sneak into that church to17:15 listen to Pastor Diego and his preaching inspired my communication. I couldn't believe it, and I said in fact, that's actually my dad. He couldn't believe17:27 it. I said now that I know that story's going positive, I could tell you who, who that guy is. You never know nowadays, you know. You just, you never know. So17:38 when he said, oh I love that guy. And then he said, I used to sneak in and I would listen to his sermons to be inspired. This is a top 3 communicator in the nation. And he used to sneak into our17:50 church and he would listen to Pastor Diego. What is that? That is the faithfulness. I'm so thankful that Pastor Diego stayed faithful to the call to preach. And what did he do? In his18:02 preaching, he sowed a seed into someone else's life where their gift is now being sowed into more people than I'd ever reach right now, or Pastor Diego has ever reached, and18:14 was inspired. Why? Because a lot of times the things you sow will be harvested for someone else. And we gotta be able to be okay with that. Because a lot of times we'll be like, I ain't18:25 sowing this and having olives grow to let someone else come eat olives from my olive tree. And so then we, what do we do? Is we live in a selfish mentality that hoards resources,18:38 that hoards God's gift, that hoards God's calling. How many of you guys have ever had an in spot that you really liked, or you had a friendship that you really like, and you didn't want to introduce another friend cause18:48 you feel like they would get along better than you got along with them. So what do we do? We hoard relationships. We hoard resources. We hoard our own gifts.19:00 Why? Because this is what God gave me. No, God didn't give it to you, He assigned it to you. There's a difference between being given something and assigned something. When I'm assigned to something, it's an19:12 awareness that this isn't mine. When given something, then yeah, it's my ownership. If I give you the keys to something and I sign away the pink something, yeah, you say it's yours. But if I say hey, here's some keys to19:24 borrow, come give me the keys back, then what? You know you're on assignment and you know then anyone. You see how you ever treated something that was yours to if someone borrowed you something? When something's mine,19:36 I don't let anyone touch it. But when I borrow something from someone, I'm like yeah, you can hold it, no problem. It's not mine. There's a freedom. Says yeah, you could. And in the same way God is looking for us with19:47 the seeds that He's called us to sow with your gifts, with your talents, with your abilities, with your time, that God is looking for us to be open armed. Say yeah, I have time. Yeah, these gifts aren't mine,19:59 this is something that God has entrusted me with. And so a few moments, I just want us to see for, there's 4 laws of sowing and reaping, that I want to share with you from the Scriptures that we just read. Here's20:10 the first law I want you to see, which is the most common 1 and the 1 we know, which is this, what you plant is what you get. You reap what you sow.20:22 Now we know in between there, there's other people's wills, there's other people's decisions, and so we can't impose on other people's choices and decisions. And so that there is that reality, we know20:34 that. That other people are involved in circumstances. But here's what I do know is that God is good. He has goodness and faithfulness. And the Word of God says that it will follow you for all of your20:46 days. As you come to know God, goodness and mercy will follow you. And so what we see according to this is that what you plant is what you get. And so the encouragement is, and what we need to ask ourselves20:58 is, what seeds am I sowing in the season of life that I'm in today? What are the seeds? Cause I do know that if you sow21:09 a prayer life, then guess what, you will reap a relationship with the Lord. If you sow time with God by reading His word, then the Holy Spirit will bring things to your21:21 remembrance. You will reap what it is that you sow. You will reap what you sow. Here's the second law that we see is, what you get is greater than what you21:33 gave. You reap more than what you sow. So I have an olive seed right here. You know, when I plant this olive seed and I water it, and I make sure it gets a lot of sun and it21:45 gets good soil, How many of you guys would think it's odd and a waste of time if I planted this seed and only 1 olive grew from that tree? When you think about it logically,21:57 1 seed should produce 1 olive. But it doesn't. 1 olive seed will produce hundreds of olives, if not potentially thousands of olives.22:09 Same with an apple tree. If you take some apple seeds and you plant an apple tree, you don't get 1 apple, you get hundreds of apple. So when you plant seeds, what will happen is, is you get22:21 more than what you gave. As it grows and as it matures, you will see it is far more than you expected in your level of obedience. And it is hard work. It's hard22:33 work to cultivate land, it's hard work to water seeds, it's hard work to make sure it has enough sunlight. But as it begins to grow, in its conditions, it will bear more fruit than what you put22:45 into it. And that's what we know a relationship with God is. A lot of times we're looking where God is at without putting any time and effort. But what will happen is if you put time and effort in a22:56 relationship with God, you will see that what comes out of it is far more than what you gave. It's far more. But at first, it takes some obedience. Proverbs 11 24 says23:08 this, 1 person gives freely, yet he gains even more. Another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. 1 person lives with23:20 an overflowing heart, another person lives with a selfish intention heart. And 1 lives with overflowing life, and the other 1 becomes impoverished in their life. It's23:32 what we do with our seed that matters. There was a time about a little over 12 years ago, it's more about 13 years ago, I was dating someone. And23:43 I was dating someone who happened to come to church, and I was a young youth pastor at the time. And she had decided, because she had relatively within the past year given her life to Christ, and she had never been water23:55 baptized, which is what we're doing next Sunday. It's the next step of faith. That believe in Jesus, confess him as Lord and Savior. The next step is to publicly proclaim him as your savior through water baptism. And so24:07 she decides I want to be water baptized. I said man, that's fantastic. I happened to be 1 of the pastors that week that was baptizing, and so at that day, we were doing it at Los Osos High School nearby.24:18 And so we rented out their pool for the day, and there was about 6 of us pastors in the pool, and our elders and deacons were helping out with the lines, and we maybe had 50 or 60 people being baptized that24:30 day. And it's a true story, there's only a few times in my life that I feel like God has really spoken to me audibly, okay? And that's 1 thing just to know as a believer. I've been in the faith a really24:42 long time, God doesn't audibly speak to me every single day, okay? The Holy Spirit leads me with strong instinct, and the more time you spend with God's word, the clearer His voice begins. And so24:54 more so I know where God is leading me because I spend time with God. But there's few times in your life it's not that God's voice came out from the heavens like you read when Jesus was baptized, but it was without a25:06 shadow of a doubt, I knew God had given me 3 things in this moment. I'm sitting in the water, the girl I'm about to baptize is about 4 people down, and the voice of God through my head immediately,25:18 strongly goes, you cannot baptize this girl. I was like, what are you talking about? And I'm just sitting in there and this thought just keeps repeating in my head and I know it's not my thought.25:30 She keeps repeating in my head, he says you are supposed to end things with this girl. Like what? What are you talking about? So I'm sitting there and I'm like, I had no intuition going into25:42 that day that I was going to break up with this girl. And so God goes, you are to break up with this girl, you cannot baptize her. And then I felt God say, because if you baptize her, when you break up with her25:54 tomorrow, you're going to break her heart. Because there's going to be something that's going to happen when you baptize her, she's going to give you credit for it, it's going to be a whole thing, and so you cannot26:03 baptize her. I'm like, God, she's 3 people away. How am I supposed to do this? How do I tell her? No no no no, don't get baptized. We get, like, what what26:15 what am I supposed to do? So then I tried to negotiate with God, like all good Christians do, is I said Lord, how about I break up with her tomorrow but you just protect her heart. I'll26:27 baptize her. You just give her some type of covering, and then, and then so when I end it tomorrow, she won't get hurt. So I'll for sure break up with her tomorrow, but I don't know how I'm26:39 supposed to do this without embarrassing her. The third thing that the Lord told me is, you will baptize a woman 1 day and she will be your wife, and this is not the 1.26:51 Which is odd, because in theory, me being a pastor, me being a Christian for so long, I didn't want to baptize a new believer in her being my wife, you know. I wanted someone to have been in the faith for whatever, and27:02 so I had this perception of it. So I'm like God, that's odd. I wouldn't even have wanted this, you know. So in that situation, it comes to her, there's a girl right in front of her. I go to baptize her, the27:14 girl in front of the other girl, the girl that I'm dating. And when I baptize this girl, her weave falls off in the water. The whole thing.27:27 For anyone that's not black, her extensions, her, her her I don't want to say wig, that's offensive. But I know many of you are wearing them. But it,27:39 it's what black women wear. They braid their hair and then they put either some extra hair or all new hair on top of their current hair. Because I see some people that aren't black. It's glazing over27:51 right now. It's just, it's. I married a black woman. I learned very fast what this was when it was laying around the house, you know.28:04 I'd look for my dog and be like, there he is. Oh no, that's Ashley's hair. That's all the time how it is. Or I know when she walks up to me with just a pair of scissors, I know what that28:16 means. Get cutting. Start cutting it off. So, this girl, it wasn't a very tightly done weave. So, and so,28:27 any complaints, email them to Nathan at. So it falls off and it all starts spreading in the pool. And this28:39 girl's so embarrassed. And I said oh it's no problem. She's holding her hair like this. And I said let me get it for you. So I start collecting the hair for her. The girl28:51 I'm gonna baptize, who God has told me to end it with, is now waiting while everyone's getting baptized. Cause this is taking a few minutes. And so finally 1 of the elders goes sweetie, you need to go to a new line and29:03 get baptized. And then I look up and she's like no, I want to wait for Adam. And she goes, I remember this elder. She says, it don't matter who's baptizing you, it's between you and God. Move. And so she29:15 just, she just, she had pushed her to the side, you know. And so I see her walking down the pool and she's looking at me, she's like what? And I go I know, isn't this, isn't this crazy?29:27 You know, like, isn't this wild? Is this, I want to,29:30 I want to baptize you. I can't,29:32 but look, look at all this hair. I can't, I can't do it. And so sure enough, she gets baptized by someone else. And the next day, I had, I had no reason. Here's29:44 1 of the worst ways to break up with somebody, is because God told me. That's like, that's the worst excuse that could ever have. But this time it was true. God had told me. Wasn't an excuse of trying to get29:56 out of it, it's God had literally told me. And I didn't know why. I didn't know why God told me. We hadn't had like any arguments, there weren't any particular red flags that God was30:08 telling. It was just God had told me, and God had told me 1 day you will baptize someone that will be your wife. It didn't make any sense to me. But I was obedient to God, and I sowed a seed that30:19 God had told me to sow, which was to make room because 1 day He's gonna send me someone. And I'm a very loyal person. If I was dating someone, I would have never looked at my wife's direction. I would have never looked30:30 in her direction. And so what happens is, God creates space for me to be single, and for 11 months, I'm single. And it just so happened that at 1 time in 2030:42 13, her parents, Ashley's parents introduced us and says she used to work with special needs children. I thought oh that's, that's beautiful, I love that. That next Sunday, a mother who30:54 had a youth with autism signed her son up for youth camp. And we, none of our volunteers knew how to work with kids with special needs. And so I remember, not only31:06 what did I find Ashley attractive in the moment, not only did I, you know, think she was pretty and I thought she was cool and all these things like that, but I thought, that's right, I just met Tom and Betsy's daughter31:17 who works with, and I need someone with that experience to go with us to this youth camp. And so I asked her to go with us, she came with us, we kind of spoke 2 or 3 times leading up to it. We hung out 1 time31:28 with that teenager who had special needs, and I thought, man she's really cool. But I had no inkling that this may go somewhere. But at youth camp, we always ended the weekend with baptisms. And we were done baptizing31:41 and we were all heading in, and all of a sudden 1 of the volunteers who was there said, I haven't been baptized since I was31:48 a child. I want to31:49 do it as an adult for the very first time. And sure enough, my wife walked out into the lake, it was just me and her, and I baptized her. And in that moment, I felt like the Lord said, this was the32:01 moment of the person that you were supposed to baptize. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.32:07 Now I32:07 want to encourage you, that may not be your circumstance. Don't be walking around looking to baptize women all day long and stuff like that.
