This message appears to center on 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 and to emphasize that while people plant and water, God alone gives the growth. The title suggests a hopeful focus on both restoration and maturing in the life of faith. The sermon likely calls listeners to faithfulness in their part while entrusting the deeper work of healing and increase to the Lord. The hope of the message is that God is not finished with his people; he is able to restore what is weak and bring growth where there has been barrenness.
