  1. Isaiah 28:16-29 • The promise of Jesus reminds all that their righteousness will fall short compared to God’s measuring line • As an analogy of what is required, He uses the plowman as the example

  2. How are we transformed • He is our “husbandman” as He plants and transforms the garden of our life • He strategically gives us certain wiring, gifts, and callings on our life to create landscape our lives • We then need to allow Him to maintain the flower bed

  3. The way it is supposed to work • We must submit ourselves to continuous pruning. John 15 • We need to constantly be watching and alert for weeds – Matthew 13 • Break Out the Round Up when it comes to the poison ivy of life – Heb 12:12-17

  4. But what if the garden gets overrun?

  5. What if we don’t let Him tend the garden? • Trees get out of control and need serious pruning, not the small kind, but major limbs • The thorns choke out the flowers and when you pull them out, you uproot the flowers as well - Matthew 13:25-40 • Bitterness, disappointment, and unforgiveness are roots that run deep that need to be forcibly yanked out • Back to Isaiah 28:27

  6. So What?

  7. Why are we afraid to let Him prune us? • Why do we tolerate weeds? • Why do we permit poison ivy in our gardens? • Back to John 15:9-17
