Pericope:  Luke 13:6-9 6 And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ 8 And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. 9 Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”

Point 1:  Every seed deserves a second chance Vs. 8a - And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also,   

Point 2: Fruit seeds needs fertilizer Vs 8b - until I dig around it and put on manure.

Point 3: Seeds need the right soil

·       Luke 8:6 - And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

·       Luke 8:7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

·       Luke 8:8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”…

Point 4: What you sow you will reap Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
