You don’t need 100 people… you just need ONE.

In this heartfelt sermon, “As You Sow,” Pastor Beto Rivas shares his vulnerable, faith-filled journey of sowing seeds in hard ground—preaching to empty chairs, losing possessions, battling discouragement—yet refusing to quit.

Through powerful stories like C.T. Studd’s generational conversion and real-life testimonies from Equatorial Guinea, Pastor Beto reminds us:

🌱 God didn’t call you to success—He called you to obedience.

📖 Based on the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13, this message will:

• Encourage weary pastors and church planters
• Reinforce why you keep sowing, even when you don’t see fruit
• Reveal the kingdom potential of a single seed

🎯 If you’ve ever questioned your calling, this is for you.

You’re not called to make fruit grow—you’re called to keep sowing.
