Seeds: Your Legacy Starts Now

Your Legacy Starts Now: How the Seeds You Plant Today Shape Eternity
What story will your life tell when you're gone? What kind of fruit will still be growing because of the seeds you planted? In the final message of our Seeds series, we’re getting to the heart of it all: legacy.
 
This isn’t just about someday. This is about right now. Every word you speak, every decision you make, every act of faith, love, or generosity—it’s all seed. And the kind of seed you plant today is what people will remember, talk about, and benefit from long after you're gone.
 
In John 15, Jesus, just hours away from the cross, gives His disciples one final instruction: Remain in Me. Why? Because when you're connected to the Vine, your life produces fruit that lasts. Not temporary impact. Not surface-level success. But legacy-level growth.
 
This message will help you: 🌱 Understand the difference between bearing fruit and chasing hype
🌱 Shift from a “right now” mindset to a legacy mindset
🌱 Let God prune what doesn’t serve your purpose
🌱 Stay connected to the Source so you can multiply fruit that outlives you
🌱 Plant seeds today that will shape your children, your grandchildren, and generations to come
 
Your legacy isn't about waiting until the end of your life—it's built day by day, seed by seed.

Seeds: The Power of Multiplication

You don’t need a lot—you just need to start.
 
In this message, we’re diving into the power of multiplication—how God takes what you’re willing to sow and expands it in ways you never imagined. We’ve talked about seeds, soil, and growth. But now we’re talking about impact—because everything healthy multiplies.
 
Through Luke 6 and 2 Corinthians 9, we’re learning that what’s in your heart doesn’t stay hidden—it multiplies. What’s stored up inside of you comes out when life squeezes you. Whether it’s generosity, gratitude, bitterness, or fear—it all grows. And it all spreads.
 
Here’s what we’ll unpack:
• Why generosity isn’t about pressure—it’s about joy (yes, the word hilarious is actually in the Bible!)
• How what you give—your time, energy, money, and love—doesn’t disappear when sown, it multiplies
• Why holding on to what God asked you to sow will lead to stagnation instead of blessing
• How living a generous life makes room for God to do more with your “yes” than you could with your control

Seeds: Transformation from The Inside Out

Not everything that looks like faith is the real thing. In a culture obsessed with appearances and faking it 'til you make it, Jesus offers something radically different: true transformation from the inside out.
In this powerful message from Matthew 13, we explore the parable of the weeds and the wheat—where Jesus draws a startling contrast between what looks good and what actually is good. The difference? The seed.

Seeds: Sowing + Reaping

What if the life you’re living right now is the result of the seeds you’ve been sowing all along? The truth is, we don’t just reap what we sow—we reap later and often more than we sow. That’s both an encouragement and a warning.
In this message, we’re diving into Mark 4 and Galatians 6, uncovering the principle of sowing and reaping—one of the most powerful spiritual laws in Scripture. We all love harvest season—when breakthroughs happen, when promotions come, when relationships flourish. But are we intentional about the seeds we’re planting in the waiting?
Here’s the challenge:
If you don’t like what you’re reaping, you need to check what you’re sowing.
The Kingdom of God doesn’t operate on karma—it’s not just about getting what you deserve. It’s about partnering with God’s nature and trusting Him in the process.
Some seeds take time, and in a world that wants instant results, faith requires patience, surrender, and obedience.
We’re breaking down:✔️ Why faith works like a seed—small but powerful✔️ How to sow the right seeds in your faith, relationships, finances, and daily life✔️ The real reason people know this truth but don’t live by it✔️ What happens when your approach to sowing and reaping is tested
If you want to see different fruit in your life, you have to plant different seeds. And the best time to start? Right now.

Seeds: How Do We Grow In Faith

We love big. Bigger dreams, bigger opportunities, bigger breakthroughs. But in God’s Kingdom, everything big starts small. And if we’re not careful, we’ll miss the process because we’re too focused on the outcome.
In this message, we’re diving into Matthew 13—where Jesus compares faith to a mustard seed. It may start small, but when it’s planted in the right soil and nurtured, it grows into something massive. The same is true for your faith.
But here’s the challenge:
Are you frustrated with slow growth?
Do you find yourself stuck, waiting for a breakthrough?
Are fear and distractions choking out what God is trying to grow in you?
Jesus doesn’t ask for massive faith—He asks for real faith. Even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. The problem isn’t whether God is faithful; it’s whether we’re willing to plant, water, and trust Him in the process.
We’ll unpack:✔️ Why faith requires patience and action✔️ How to recognize fear as the greatest enemy of faith✔️ The importance of the right environment for spiritual growth✔️ How to pass down divine inheritance to the next generation
If you’ve been waiting on God to do something big in your life, this message is for you. It’s time to shift your perspective, embrace the small beginnings, and start planting the seeds of faith that will lead to your breakthrough.

Seeds: How to Hear God’s Voice

So many things in life are outside your control—your team losing (looking at you, Cowboys fans), the weather, the chaos of life. But your growth? That’s on you. God wants you to grow, and He’s given you everything you need—you just have to plant the right seeds in the right soil.
 
In this message, Pastor Ezra breaks down the process of growth straight from the words of Jesus. How do you hear God’s voice? How do you know His will for your life? How do you create an environment where faith actually flourishes instead of staying stuck?
 
We’re diving deep into Matthew 13, the Parable of the Sower, where Jesus gives us a roadmap for transformation. The difference between 10X, 30X, and 100X growth isn’t talent, background, or effort—it’s all about the condition of your soil.
 
This sermon will challenge you to:
✔️ Recognize the biases blocking you from hearing God
✔️ Evaluate your busyness and make space for real spiritual growth
✔️ Trust that God is working, even when you can’t see it
 
Your future starts with what you plant today. So the question is—how good is your soil?

Seeds: How To Discover Your Potential

When Forgiveness Feels Impossible

Forgiveness isn’t just a nice idea—it’s non-negotiable for anyone following Jesus. In Matthew 18, Peter tries to impress Jesus with his “generosity” in forgiving up to seven times. Jesus? He flips the script: Seventy times seven. Translation? Stop keeping score. Start canceling debts.
 
🔥 Forgiveness isn’t optional. We love to hold onto offenses, justify our bitterness, and wait for an apology. But Jesus makes it clear—forgiveness isn’t a suggestion; it’s a command.
 
🔥 Your debt was bigger. Jesus tells a parable about a servant who owed the king an impossible debt—$26 billion worth! The king wipes it clean. But instead of showing that same mercy, the servant hunts down someone who owes him pennies in comparison—and throws him in prison.
 
🔥 Unforgiveness holds YOU hostage. We think refusing to forgive gives us power, but it actually traps us. It’s like carrying a maxed-out credit card—the weight of that debt follows you everywhere. Jesus says: Let it go. Cancel it.
 
🔥 Forgiveness isn’t approval—it’s freedom. It doesn’t mean what they did was okay. It means you refuse to let it control you anymore. Some of us are holding onto $15,000 worth of offense, forgetting that God already forgave our $26 billion debt.
 
At Mission Church, we don’t cancel people—we cancel debts. Because forgiven people forgive people. If you’re ready to break free from the weight of unforgiveness and step into the future God has for you, watch now and start canceling the debt today.
