Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this message, Pastor Paul Daugherty teaches that everything in life is either a harvest of past choices or a seed sown toward a future outcome. By examining the biblical stories of Zacharias, Elizabeth, and Mary, he reminds believers that God hears every prayer, remembers His promises, and orchestrates good things for those who wait with expectant faith. To experience God's promised harvest, we must guard our words, yield our plans to His divine purpose, and surround ourselves with community rooted in hope. Even in dark and uncertain seasons, offering praise before seeing the miracle prepares our hearts and positions us to step into God's faithfulness.

“If it's not good he's not done with it yet.”

This Week

Evaluate the seeds you are sowing daily through your choices, words, and actions to align them with the future harvest you desire.

Replace negative, fearful self-talk and declarations with scripture-based confessions that declare God's goodness over your future.

Revisit dormant or long-unanswered prayers with renewed trust, believing that God remembers them and works on His appointed timetable.

Surrender your personal timelines and expectations to God, praying like Mary: "Let it be to me according to Your word."

Distance yourself from voices of cynicism and unbelief that extinguish your hope and faith.

Intentionally build relationships with fellow believers who inspire expectation, faith, and hope in God's promises.

Offer worship and gratitude to God today before seeing your circumstances change, trusting His faithful character in the middle of dark seasons.

Remember This

When you align your words and heart with God's promises, surrender your plans, and praise Him in dark seasons, you can live with confidence that good things are coming your way.

A Challenge for You

Come down to the altar as a seed of humility, getting your mind, mouth, and heart in alignment with where God is taking you, and praise Him while you wait because He is faithful to finish the good work He started in you.
