Karma - Law 7: We Can’t do Anything About Last Year’s Harvest, But We Can About This Year’s

This series on Sowing and Reaping has certainly taught us one thing - life has consequences both good and bad. That is why those life choices we all make are so significant and critical. They alter and impact our life's quality and its outcomes. I find it ironic, that quite often (and even without realizing it) that those smaller almost casual choices are often the ones that end up having the greatest impact. We make a small decision and then all hell breaks loose as a result

Karma - Six - We Reap a Full and Good Harvest pt. 2

Galatians 6:9-10 9 And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. Anyone who has ever planted a garden knows that you can't plant it and then forget it. If so, very little will come from the planting because of the many forces that work against a good harvest. A good garden requires continuous labor an

Karma - Six - We Reap a Full and Good Harvest

Because this is so true to real life and real time this law becomes exposes a raw nerve very quickly. Even with the word of God clearly explaining how it will be, which of us has not experienced the reality of this law; we reap the full and good harvest only if we persevere, but evil naturally comes to harvest on its own. It doesn’t need our help. The evidence shows up in our lives and is expressed in our regret and remorse... If only I paid more attention, if only I were a l

Karma - Five - We Reap in Proportion to What We Sow

We have learned in this series that both the promise and warning of Scripture is that we reap what we sow. We have learned that life’s choices are filled with consequences both good and bad—temporal and eternal. According to the Seven Laws of the Harvest, reaping what we sow means; 1) we reap only what has been sown 2) we reap the same in kind as we sow 3) we reap in a different season than we sow 4) we reap more than we sow, and today that we look at 5) we reap in proportion

Karma - Four : We Reap More Than We Sow

Karma and the Principles of Sowing and Reaping Four - We Reap More Than We Sow There are no Laws of the Harvest more significant and relative than this one. This law simply means that when the seed we sow is good, we will receive generously and abundantly from the hand of God - a God mind you who owes no one, anything. Yes this Law of the Harvest is simple and yet it is also profound - the harvest is always greater than the seed planted. If this weren't a fact, no farmer woul

Karma - Seven Laws of the Harvest continued

Three - We Reap in a Different Season Than We Sow It’s not that Christian believers are living divergent and interesting lives throughout the week, it’s that too often we live diluted and delusional lives and then show up to Sunday worship gatherings and have to pray for a crop failure. In the context of the principles of sowing and reaping - most hope their life-styles won’t catch up with them. The Seven Laws of the Harvest remind us - it always does. As we have all learned

Mark 4:1-9 Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: "Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immedi

Proverbs 11:18 The wicked earns deceptive wages, But he who sows righteousness gets a true reward. Proverbs 26:27 He who digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him. Psalm 126 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them." The Lord has done great things for us;

A ROADMAP FOR CHANGE

Reunion Church Steve Merryman 09/08/2019 In our series on Karma a couple of weeks ago we took a look at a list of 13 things that we called seeds of the flesh (sexual immorality, impurity, idolatry, seduction, sorcery, enmity, rage, drunkenness, etc.). These were the things that we said that we have to stop sowing. Then we looked at the six things that God hates seven that are an abomination to him (eyes that show pride, tongues that tell lies, hands that kill innocent peo

Hosea 10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. Galatians 5:22-26 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let

Karma and the Principles of Sowing and Reaping

Galatians 6:7-10 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Galatians 5:16-18 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed

Intro - Karma

Intro - Karma The concepts and principles of the word karma originates from the Southeast Asian religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The term karma connects actions and results, causes and effects for not only past lives, but subsequent or reincarnate lives as well. Good and bad happenings and outcomes experienced in this life are collective results of deeds and character in those previous lives. With karma there is a circle or cycle of life - or you could just say,
