From the Sermon Series: Faith
“Too many people have been taught to believe that the Kingdom of God works by need, when it actually works by seed.” – Chad Everett
The Kingdom of God Works by Seed, Not by Need
In this message, Pastor Chad Everett reveals a truth that changes how we see spiritual growth: the Kingdom of God works by seed, not by need. Many believers have been taught that begging God for help will move His hand. Yet Jesus shows that His Kingdom operates through a different system—one built on sowing and reaping. When we plant the Word of God in our hearts and nurture it through faith, it always produces life.
Faith Is the Fertilizer
Every seed holds the power to reproduce, but only in good soil. Pastor Chad explains that our hearts are the ground where God’s Word grows, and faith is the fertilizer that makes it thrive. Instead of trying to convince God to act, we learn to cooperate with His Kingdom principles. By reading, speaking, and believing His Word, we sow life into our spirit. As we mix the Word with faith, it starts to grow and transform who we are from the inside out.
Don’t Ring the Bell—Keep Sowing
Growth takes time, and waiting can test our faith. But every season between seed and harvest matters. Pastor Chad encourages believers not to quit when progress feels slow. Just like Navy SEALs who refuse to “ring the bell” and give up, followers of Jesus must keep standing, trusting that God’s Word will produce a harvest in due season.
If you’ve been praying for change or waiting on breakthrough, this message will renew your hope. Remember, the Kingdom of God works by seed, not by need—and your harvest is coming.
