Pray for Growth

Preacher:
Passage: 1 Corinthians 3:1-9

In 1 Corinthians 3:6, the Bible teaches, "Paul planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth." Christians are called to be servants who work alongside God to build up His Church. Since He is the one who ultimately makes our work effective, an important aspect of our labour is prayer. We are to pray fervently to God, for He is the one who ultimately saves sinners and matures the saints.

A faithful servant of God will do well to follow the old adage: "Pray as if everything depended on God and work as if everything depended on you."
