In his weak attempts to grow plants on a rooftop, this young man proves that laziness will get you nowhere...and that even fake plants will die if left unattended.
Main Point: Patience is a virtue—some times important things in
life take time to take root.
Synopsis:
- An
impatience young man can’t wait for the growing process for the impatiens
he planted so he impetuously trades the real for the fake plants.
- Video
opens on a guy in a pink lawn chair on top of a city building. He
considers the empty space and leaves camera shot to return with three
plant pots. From there he retrieves planting soil, and a shovel and plants
the flower seed.
- Time
passes and he is anxious that he has not seen growth—he digs up a seed,
inspects it and throws it down from the building.
- He
then leaves returning with three medium sized fake plants but is not
satisfied so he ultimately discards them for three fake trees before
picking up his lawn chair and leaving.
- Ultimately,
all three fake trees fall down like dominos.
- Filmed
to show passage of time with black screens, the only sound is that of the
city streets.
Application:
- Life
producing results take time.
- When
we are impatient, we usually trade in something real for something
manufactured.
- Patience
is an important fruit in the life of the believer—without it maturity is
impossible—as we tend to run from one thing to the next.
Suggested Uses:
- Sermon
starter on patience
