Pastor Appreciation Month
Ever thought of thanking our pastoral staff? October is Pastor Appreciation Month, a perfect time to express your gratitude for the hard work, love, and leadership of our extraordinary pastoral team. Send them a card, bake them some cookies, host them for dinner, take them out for coffee, or stock their fridge with groceries — the possibilities are endless! Don't let another week go by without letting your pastors know how much you love and appreciate them.

Sermon Notes

Keep Sowing
Galatians 6:9
October 19, 2025

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9

Why do we become weary in doing good?

Why do we become weary in doing good?
Sometimes it’s because our good isn’t noticed.

Why do we become weary in doing good?
Sometimes it’s because our good isn’t noticed.
Sometimes it’s because our good isn’t reciprocated.

Why do we become weary in doing good?
Sometimes it’s because our good isn’t noticed.
Sometimes it’s because our good isn’t reciprocated.
Sometimes it’s because our good isn’t producing results.

Impatience is the enemy of the good life.

The world celebrates quick results, but God honors consistent endurance.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9

When you become weary in doing good, remember...

When you become weary in doing good, remember...
The seed is eventually noticed, but not at first.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9

The good life comes to those who keep doing good, even when they can’t yet see the good it’s doing.

Waiting is where God forms what He plans to reveal.

When we are becoming weary in doing good, we need to pursue a rest for our souls.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9
