Intentional Increase - Galatians 6:7-9 - Pastor Dan Roth

Main message: Intentional spiritual increase requires deliberately sowing the right "seed," trusting God to grow it, and persistently sowing in season rather than being distracted by circumstances.

Key points:

• Don't be deceived: whatever you sow you will reap (sowing to flesh yields corruption; sowing to the Spirit yields life) — be intentional about what you plant.
• The fruit is contained in the seed: choose the seed that matches the harvest you want (select scripture and actions that produce that fruit).
• Faith is in God who gives the increase: we plant and work, but God produces the growth — our trust must be in Him, not in our effort alone.
• The future is determined by sowing: act — plant the seed in faith and persist; withholding seed produces lack.
• Don’t be stalled by circumstances or over-observing obstacles; sow in the present season and don’t lose heart.
