Sowing Good is So Good
Pastor Jamie Self - 8/31/2025
In Galatians 6:1–10, Paul reminds believers that true spiritual maturity involves restoring others gently, carrying each other’s burdens, and sowing seeds that please the Spirit rather than the flesh. Pastor Jamie Self emphasized that sowing good results in eternal fruit—if we do not give up. The message challenged listeners to reject bitterness, comparison, and self-righteousness, and instead, live with humility and perseverance, fulfilling the law of Christ through love and sacrifice.
Weekly Reflection
“You're not loving them and carrying burdens and restoring gently to fix anything. You're doing it to please the Spirit.”
How do we keep loving when it doesn’t seem to be working? In Galatians 6, Paul reminds us that true spiritual maturity isn’t about performance or visible results—it’s about sowing faithfully in love, even when the soil is rocky, the fruit is delayed, and the people are hard to love. Pastor Jamie challenged us to keep sowing good in conflict, marriage, church, and life—not because it always “fixes” things, but because it pleases the Spirit. And in that, there is eternal fruit.
