Pastor Jesse Lockhart
This sermon from Galatians 6:9 centers on the call to perseverance in faith and prayer: “Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” The preacher illustrates this with vivid images of sowing and reaping, reminding listeners that spiritual labor—like tending a garden—requires patience, endurance, and trust in God’s timing. He warns against discouragement, urging believers not to give up on praying for loved ones, even when results seem delayed, because God hears every prayer and honors tears of intercession. Drawing from Psalm 126 and the story of Ezra’s restoration, he emphasizes that brokenness and weeping are often the soil where revival begins. The message crescendos with a powerful testimony of transformation: a hardened saloon owner in Kentucky, changed by prayer and love, became a symbol of how God can overturn darkness. Ultimately, the sermon calls Christians to steadfastness, backbone, and love—rejecting compromise, resisting weariness, and trusting that in God’s season, the harvest will come.
