Designed to bear fruit
And I don't know, what do you ever use this place? But sometimes people say they have to wait for you, I say not too bad under the circumstances are used to say that anymore. Cuz like, I'm never under my circumstances and declare that I am under my circumstances. I'm here. Am I sucking stands? He's a higher. I'm sorry to text you this morning. I just want to encourage you use words that we really believe. If someone asks you how you are and you tell them, It's someone else. You how you are on your foot at a pretty crummy week and you are able to tell them, please tell him but you are. Sometimes, let me see that you probably heard me use these prices before. Now. It's about the word y, a mean when somebody asks you, how you are because sometimes he's just too to Fresh. You can't tell people's or it's just slow roll that if I tell you you will get the law. So why you ready? I've had such a horrible week, but if you press the button while I'm about to explode, Did you ever feel like that? Show me sis. How are you? And you kind of pushy old, I always keeping the sense of how we feel under control. We just don't even that moment. I just want to encourage you, specially amongst friends and Believers in church. That's why I understood why you say this, I'm struggling at the moment but I don't want to talk about it right now, something like that. So you give people the only thing the Brilliance, what do you just having a stressful time of work or whether or not? She just had no idea you were with your husband or your wife, or you just, you just want you to smack him. Knowing you any one of those, whichever one works for you but you just sent but it's fine if you tell them really how you are. Is what's going to come out the third guy? He just says, okay, I'm just about keeping things together, but things are. All right, thanks very much. I've had it right now. He's only, you can go away and pray for that person. Doing another got a tough week, another having a tough week, Lord bless and strengthen, but it also gives us something else against us, a place where we can come by. The next time we see them. And how did you get home soon? So, lost for you. Cuz I know you were having a tough time saying. Resume, okay. It's a long time. I'm sorry, my son in this morning. Is that the apartment 307? I didn't realize how many parts are going to have. I thought it was 2 and then go take me some more fruitfulness fruitfulness. Genova call to be fruitful. Do we have an apple tree in all job? And it's this time of year where you can stop the OB a hand at the blossom. The Apple start become still coming even in the heat but now because they're all apples on the apple tree, we get priority sometimes pain sometimes twenty sometimes Thursday, and you can hear them skulking in the one point and then they drop it on the floor of a load of apples. So we know some of them will go away, but they will come back again because that's fruit on the tree. I'm a regular guy will come. And stressed about it. No fly like this one in another tree. We just keeps quiet when I only see, see how you feeling read correct, but I'm sure he's a Watchman. I'm sure he's just watching out or Shiite.
Increase of school, can I keep on coming back when you got the goblin? That even if we're going out the door, I am stopped a different kind of school.
Fruitfulness, young trees are his design for fruitfulness. He's got fruit on the tree. That's why the parakeets are coming. Do you know what if we are free for? People will be drawn to us. If we full of life, which was full of black, people will be drawn to let me start with John 13, verses 1, 2 3, when Jesus washes, disciples feet, now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that decided he's on her tongue. Does he should depart from this world to the father, having loved his own. Who were in the world, he loved them to the ends and the suffering, and it's the devil have already been put into the heart of Judas Iscariot. So I'm coming son to betray him. Jesus, knowing that the father had given all things into his hands and that he had come from God, was going to Jesus had any time he needed to fulfill God's purpose without providing and he's on wife. I'm at the beginning of the second. So, I talked about emptiness and I don't comply something. You're not hands, Jennifer hands are full of stuff. We don't have any room to hold anything else.
I know it feels like we're full. I can't remember where the story came from, but let me give an example. I'm outside the store in a number different environments. How many people feel full? Okay, sometimes sometimes we feel. I want you to imagine a great big job.
If I had enough of things that I want you to mention this stuff to bring my school to the top with ping pong balls. And what would you like me now?
I'm not coming home with a 5%, like all the sand in the sandwich in between the yes, you said? Yes, because there is still space between us.
I'm honestly believe you can win between full full of God and running over pricing dumpster. Okay.
Hi, Tim. It's the fault of my device doesn't quite fit into the team. So I just realized the drum fills us. He prepares us, he equips us. He provides and his wife to do what he needs to do. John 15 verses 20 and 21 says this. Remember the weather like at Seven Seas, not greater than his master. If I give you my word that you will keep yours.
But all these things they will do for you for my name site because they do not know him who sent me a glimpse of God has something of who we are and how we are. And as we are, we started for the Life of Christ, The Life of Christ, the love of Christ. I want to encourage you to be Counter Culture. Don't join in with the conversation conversation conversation starts and somebody shouting across something else. It goes to the lowest common denominator. Something a bit negative and it gets more negative I like to know the truth to put my fingers in my ears to choose to ignore it or I can choose to leave the room, that would be healthier for me. Or I can choose to join in the conversation and be different. Sometimes not being bossy to conversations and critical was the stuff needs to be said, oh yes, he's not very, he's not ready to die because he's not very kind gesture but he's good at his work and he arrives on time. I'm just stopping a different seat and installing a different seat I'm actually trying to conversation. I don't charge you to be like, to be like to be hoped to be joy in the places that you find yourself. Cuz God will give us what we need to have when we need to have it. So that his word can be fulfilled. I'm not going to read this particular as I read before is the parable of the sower. I'm not going to read you the parable of the sub. I do want to respect the power of what is the purpose of a parable.
Rusty. What is a parable and see if you remember from frequent as to what is a parable? Is it just a good story does Parable mean a good story?
It's it's more than a good story. Is a good story wage, meaning with platypus. It's something else behind it. Jesus, when he told Parables told her was because he was trying to illustrate the principle to show something, and he used the principle of us, are the Powerball to decide to talk about the scene in the store and the soil. Anybody read from chapter to chapter 4, Betsie ten to Twelve Oaks about the purpose of Parables. But when he was alone that surround him with the 12, I'll ask him about the Powerball and he said to them, to you, it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. What's the vice who are outside? All things come in parables. So that seeing that, they may see. And not perceive I'm hearing that, they may hear, and not understand, lest I should turn from their sins and he should forgive them. Assume should be given purpose of Parables, something to somebody. And we understand the story, The Pie we understand the story of the sun, we understand the CDs purpose for Sadie's, going to be fruitful and see. It is useless. If you pump it and nothing happens, it's not doing what it's designed to do to grow and produce muesli.
I'm just so respect to do what's required of a single case. I'm seeing if you liked in the bag event, she's going to rot in some of it will grow but I don't see the purpose of the farmer of the job now is to scatter the seed in to see what happens. If something I honestly believes a problem for us in the Weston, Weston will develop the price to says, reproducer and Jewelry. in scripture, we believe that I see what that says you sold and you will bring that because that's the thing that we see in nature, we see in night so they can, you call Steve Harvey,
But that's not what a scripture says. He says, because God is a dog whisperer Jones and the United Methodist churches in the leaflets in
Then the alpha core started. Now, people sign up for people, over over the food and say, how did you find out about the coolest time in? Because I smelled food in 10 minutes to finally put on the bus. So you can stop the Harvest comes in regardless of, whether it's where you planted it. Now, if you want the ministration of this, for my phone is going to do you scatter seed in the field and you saw it so that you can get your combine harvester to come sit with some of that. See what I'm up in the hatch. But it was still do what he supposed to do cuz he's good soil or sometimes it will be impacted in the Powerball of the store. I'm not going to probably the last time unless God says, otherwise I'm going to talk about 34 in this series. But I just wanted to say that the Powerball is that Preposterous the power, but he's there for us to understand and I just want to talk about a different type of fruitfulness of the first one. I talked about the fruits of the spirit, the second time I talked about fruits and I want to talk about off brute as Disciples of Christ.
Matthew 28, what does it say? We know this while I'm sure this is one of the scriptures that you know let me let me read from you to me and have not do not do that for and Make Disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit move things. I have you I'd love I am with you always even to the ends of the eye.
I don't know what you going to tell you a little bit of story. I didn't touching quotes about five years ago in town, and write your obituary.
The coolest was asked, you say, okay, if you're 50 years old at Kentucky, is time. Is the tallest for this? For the coaching course, I couldn't do it. The logic behind is closest to right about where you you would have got to and therefore change Where You Are. So when you see my niece was just something is going through my head. I was just thinking, okay, how many people about Lexa cost and I was thinking, I'd love to be talked about electrolysis the Christ.
Maybe more, I don't know, but I know I'm not your type. Sorry, I haven't LED thousands to Christ. So what that caused me to do is to be okay, what do I need to do? How do I need to change the way I currently live so I can get to that place that I want to be.
And that's the purpose with that that particular task and it's okay if you want to be here and you are currently here, will you know which direction you took out, if you're getting an Easter eggs, and then you need to change your. Do you need to change your Jennifer? You need to change what you're doing. if you guessing to your car and you're driving from London, to Glasgow and you look at your Sat Nav and he says, 400 miles to go I meant off the driving 450 miles it now, says 450 miles to go. You are probably going in the wrong direction cuz you all now he wants you to be the same thing. I would ask you, what are you doing this morning? You would annoy you heading closer to what I need to know, to show you how to show you when And that's just a little journey from a funny because I was thinking, I am, My Lifestyle needs to change. If I'm going to leave more people to Christ Church, that's about what I do everyday of the week as well. What am I doing? The shows more of Jesus. What am I doing you my sub. You see my loving my generosity.
Encourages us to be free to the beginning in the Bible. Genesis chapter 1, you might know this but Genesis 1:28, then God bless them and God said to them. be fruitful and multiply for the journey mind map for finding my wife says, right at the beginning, in the first chapter be fruitful and multiply Another just believe that's a biological imperative for people who don't have children, we can still be fruitful and multiply like, it's, I know that to be true to myself. I have children in the spirit I have people who would call me. Someone told me that some people would call me G. That's quite a few people to call me uncle.
And that's a spiritual thing. I got people who bring me out from around the world and saw you by you. Can you can you give me some advice? And I'm just being that. But I know I'm being truthful. And I know who I Look to when I want to be fruitful. And that's my Father in heaven. But I want to start with the beginning and then God bless them. Are we doing things that God can bless cuz he think I was on site be fruitful and multiply. Bless them then he says be fruitful and multiply We are these going to be fruitful. We are designed to produce fruits until I go back to my scriptures, being the scripture for the hold of his series. John 15 verse 16. Choose me. But I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain that. Whatever you ask the father in my name, he might give you. He shall give you, he will give you I'm going to say that again. I'm I want you to put your name into the scriptures as I when it says me think of
You did not choose me, but I chose you. I chose you. I chose you to lunch as you saw him unless I could go through the house and I was listening online and I was listening and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit. Somebody is being fruitful and other places places, where there is apparently his prices were, there is not a b. I'm what kind of fruit fruit that will remind that whatever you ask, the father in my name, he might give you These things like a monkey that you love one. Another. How many Prime?
I'm a pretty close there. I suppose that's the only knows this thing likes her. I just want us to close our eyes. I want to, I want you to imagine that you're a fruit tree. You pick what kind of fruit tree if you like past be a Patrick? You like peaches be a peach tree? Do you like Jackfruit or would you just picture the tree? What? You just picture the tree, that's easier. I'm going to some people party pictures and place them on it somewhere, please. But not yet blossom. Summer piece of creating it's just bothering the Fugees to stop and come summer. Picturing treats treats for the free
But, you know, if you honestly look at the tree, this apart the trailer isn't quite as fruitful as the rest. but some of us, it looks that
Sammy's just not as green as it should be back in a bit sick. Some of the fruits just not strong.
Not going to ask you this if you see that kind of tree and you just want to play a little, but you caused me to be more fruitful, would you? Cuz even that part of my life to Bedford, That might be. That might be at work, this part, your tree might be at work, this out, your tree might be with your brother or your sister. Call mystery might be fruitfulness with your neighbor. With your children.
But you just know when you look at the tree of your life, with some of it is not as fruitful as it should be a good thing. If I see you, but you spent and I'll be honest with you, I'm standing I choosing to stand now. I know I'm standing to share but I'm standing that is possibly like the Springfield is a Shipley.
Jesus eyes and John. I am the vine. My father is the vinedresser I need prunes the vine. He doesn't kill the vine, he doesn't contact him. He doesn't cut it. Like Jesus curse. The Fig Tree he proves that going I'm at pruning. Can sometimes be very very small. Sometimes what you need to do is just this one little twig off and then the whole brunch comes back to life. Stop the disease, take an item. That might be a habit, that might be something that's just getting in the way between you and your relationship with you, what makes with your family will be gone. But I just sent this, we spend gold coming and trimming a few tweaks. It's not going to hurt, it's not painful. Spell like cutting your finger lamps and needs to be done.
None of us, particularly like it.
But that we might be more fruitful. I'm going to price right now, for those listing lights, at the closest thing online for those in the room, who is standing. Father, we stand in your presence, in your orchard, we stand in your orchard, in the rain of your spirit, and the life of your son, low respond as you Orchard. And where we want to go and bear fruit. The father, a hand, or a foot, or something's not a Springfield, is it should be a father.
To be more fruitful for you more like Jesus shining forth your light in your presence in Jesus name. Oh man. Okay, let's play. Kelsey going to come round communion now.
