Church Planting

Product
Image ID

Description
A solitary church planter walks through long cultivated rows, scattering small chapel buildings like seed from a heavy shoulder sack. Across the rolling fields, the seeds have taken root as countless little churches, each standing in its own furrow beneath a wide sky and low clouds. The composition turns the work of ministry into a farming parable: the gospel is sown patiently, communities are planted faithfully, and growth belongs to God.

The imagery connects church planting with Jesus’ parable of the sower and Paul’s teaching that one servant plants, another waters, but God gives the increase. It is well suited for missions, evangelism, discipleship, stewardship, outreach, sermon series, and ministry vision materials centered on multiplying congregations and spreading the kingdom of God.

Scriptures
1 Corinthians 3:6-9   Luke 8:5-8   Mark 4:3-9   Matthew 13:3-9   Matthew 28:19-20  

1 Corinthians 3

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.

Luke 8

5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. 8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Mark 4

3 “Listen! A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” 9 And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Matthew 13

3 And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, 6 but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. 7 Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8 Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears, let him hear.”

Matthew 28

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
