Key Take-aways:
Prayer-Filled Foundations
Pastor Brent reminds us that all effective ministry and personal growth start with prayer. By “digging ditches” through faithful, consistent prayer—both individually and as a church—we prepare the ground for God’s movement in our lives and community. Devoting ourselves to prayer is not just a prelude to action; it is essential work that protects, guides, and sustains us through every season.
Faithful Stewardship of Your Calling
We are called to “farm the land” God has given us, which means tending to our families, neighbors, and spheres of influence with care and persistence. Like a farmer picking rocks from the field or a volunteer serving selflessly, we’re encouraged to do the daily, sometimes difficult work of evangelism, service, and discipleship—trusting that God uses even our small acts of faithfulness for His greater purpose.
Celebrating God’s Goodness
In the midst of busyness, hardship, or success, it’s important to pause and “smell the roses.” Pastor Brent challenges us to look back in gratitude—celebrating salvations, marriages, personal healing, and every evidence of God’s faithfulness. By stopping to reflect and praise God, we anchor ourselves in joy and keep our perspective rooted in His ongoing work.
