Sowing and Reaping

2 Corinthians 9

The Apostle Paul encourages the Corinthian Church to keep their promise to give a generous gift to the church in Jerusalem.

Paul is using barnyard theology to teach an important spiritual lesson.

God loves a cheerful giver.

It does not pay to lay up treasure on earth.
Proverbs 23:4-5, Matthew 6:19-21, Galatians 6:7-9

God meets the physical and spiritual needs of abundant sow-ers. Psalms 41:1-3, Proverbs 11:18, 24-26, 19:17, 22:9, Ecclesias-tes 11:1, 6, Luke 6:38, Hebrews 6:10

A generous church wins souls.

God the Father sowed an abundant, eternal, and indescribable Gift on earth when He sent Jesus to save us! John 12:20-25
