“Planting a Pip in a Pot” by Neville Buchanan


Imagine living a life where every decision you make brings you closer to fulfilling your purpose and becoming your best self. This Sunday’s Sermon on 2 Peter 1:5-11 aims to help us achieve just that.

Picture a planter planting a tiny seed in a pot. With water, sunlight, and nutrients, the seed slowly grows into a strong and beautiful plant, bearing fruit or flowers.

Similarly, our faith is like a seed that needs nourishment and cultivation to grow. By adding virtues such as knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love to our faith, we provide it with the water, sunlight, and nutrients it needs to thrive. As we develop these qualities, we become more like Jesus Christ and fulfill our purpose in life.

By cultivating these attributes in our faith, we will not be unproductive or ineffective in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Instead, we will be fruitful and effective in all that we do.

Friend, let us strive to grow into Jesus Christ and become more like Him each day.
