Planning & Planting

It is Sunday and time for my sermon. Here is the outline from this morning.

Psalm 1 - Planning & Planting
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners , or sit in the seat of mockers.  2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.


Intro: The thing that I know about planting is that it takes planning. Planning is that thing we all think should be done but few of us enjoy the actual doing of it. It is integral to our effectiveness. Corporately there are things we can do to prepare for the job ahead.

1. The right season

2. The right conditions (weather & temp)

3. The right nourishment (food & water)

4. Knowledge of what to do, a plan of action

5. Willing People to Plant

6. Willing people to harvest.

Conclusion: For the LORD watches over the righteous. It is time for the righteous to develop a plan. Because we should be that tree planted by the stream, whose leaf does not wither and whatever we do prospers. To corporately be the church God wants us to be we have to be the individuals God wants us to be.
