From the Sermon Series: Christian Living
The Seed Must Die to Multiply
In John 12: 24, Jesus explains that a grain of wheat must fall into the ground and die before it produces fruit. The message of seed with a purpose shows that growth comes through surrender. A seed sitting on the shelf remains alone, but once buried, it begins to multiply. God calls every believer to let go of control and trust His process. When we surrender our will to His, new life starts to grow.
Jesus: The Ultimate Seed with a Purpose
Jesus became the ultimate seed with a purpose. He gave His life so that His Spirit could live in every believer. His death was not loss—it released resurrection life. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now fills those who believe in Him. Through His obedience, Jesus multiplied His life in us, proving that surrender leads to abundance.
Disciples Live as Seeds with a Purpose
We are also called to live as a seed with a purpose. Following Jesus means dying to selfish ambition and individualism so that His Kingdom can flourish through our lives. The Church grows when believers serve, give, and live for something greater than themselves. When we plant our lives into God’s purpose, we become part of His harvest.
Purpose Is Greater Than Pain
Jesus faced emotional and spiritual pain, yet He said, “For this purpose I came.” He refused to pray for escape and chose obedience instead. In the same way, we find purpose when we endure hardship with faith. God often uses pressure to produce power. The seed that dies brings forth life, and the believer who surrenders discovers joy and strength in Christ.
Saved and Called
God not only saves us—He calls us. Salvation begins our purpose, not ends it. Every believer carries a holy calling to live for Jesus and reflect His love. When we embrace life as a seed with a purpose, we multiply His life in others and bring glory to His name.
