The Harvest and the Harvester - Plowing in Hope

Synopsis: The plowing is not only producing a harvest. It is producing the ploughman. You are not just anything — you are a living stone being prepared in the quarry of ordinary life, fitted by grace for the eternal temple. The harvest is not only something we will enter. The harvest is something we are becoming. Titus 2:11-14

Plowing In Hope - Plowing in Hope

Synopsis: The grace that appeared is the grace that trains. Jesus wore the crown of thorns to free us to work as we were made to work — and the Hebrew word for that work is the same word used for worship. We are priest-gardeners, made in the image of the Maker, plowing in every lawful calling until the Incarnation that ran downward has run us all, all the way back up. Sermon Text: Titus 2:11-14

Our Hope is Jesus - Plowing in Hope
