Description

A hand scatters seeds from a packet labeled Church Seeds into a prepared row of dark soil, turning the act of planting into a clear symbol of ministry, discipleship, and spiritual growth. The church silhouette on the packet connects the agricultural scene to the work of building up the body of Christ through faithful service, evangelism, and community formation.

The imagery echoes 1 Corinthians 3:6-9, where Paul writes, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” The seed and soil point to human labor in ministry, while the harvest belongs to God. This visual metaphor is well suited for themes of church planting, missions, stewardship, leadership training, outreach campaigns, and sermons on spiritual multiplication.

Scriptures	1 Corinthians 3:4-9 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 Mark 4:26-29 Matthew 13:3-9 1 Corinthians 3 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human? 5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 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. 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. Mark 4 26 And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. 27 He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. 28 The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” 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.”
