The Power of the Seed

In this message, Pastor Chad Everett continues the Soil and Seed – Keys to the Kingdom series by asking a vital question: Which seed are you growing? This question matters because the Bible teaches that every life produces fruit from the seed planted within it. God designed every seed with two defining traits. The seed is in itself, and it always produces after its kind (Genesis 1:11–12). Every acorn carries the potential of a mighty oak. In the same way, every spiritual harvest begins with the seed of the Word of God. What you choose to plant and nurture determines the fruit you will see.

Created in God’s Image

Genesis 1:26–27 shows that God created mankind in His image and likeness. He equipped us with everything needed to reflect Him. However, Genesis 3 introduces another seed. The serpent deceived Adam and Eve, convincing them to trust their feelings instead of God’s Word. That same temptation still works today. The enemy whispers lies, but God calls us to live by His truth and grow the right seed.

Which Seed Are You Growing?

Scripture reveals only two options. One is the seed of Satan, rooted in deception and human senses. The other is the seed of the woman, fulfilled in Jesus Christ, rooted in faith and truth. Genesis 3:15 gives the first promise of the Gospel. Jesus, the promised Seed, came to crush the serpent’s head and restore us to God. Therefore, each of us must decide: Which seed are you growing every day? Neutral ground does not exist.

Living in Christ’s Victory

This message calls you to examine your life. Are you cultivating the seed of Christ, or allowing the enemy’s seed to grow instead? Romans 16:20 promises that “the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.” 1 John 3:8 declares that the Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil. When you live by faith in God’s Word instead of feelings, you resist the enemy’s lies. As a result, you grow in the image of Christ and walk in lasting victory.
