Sermon Title: "Nudge: Nourishing Growth in God's Garden"

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:6-9
'I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building. '
1 Corinthians 3:6-9
