Grow Fruitful
Grow Fruitful
Grow in Hope
Grow Deep Roots
Grow Up
and today we will be Growing Fruitful
Theme Verse:
7 “For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground,
9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud And bring forth branches like a plant.
Series Recap
Grow in Hope
Grow Deep Roots
Grow Up
and today we will be Growing Fruitful
Job’s Motive behind his words:
He was battling the worse pain anyone could imagine.
He was battling depression.
He had given up on life and his understanding of who God was.
He thought he was hopeless and when he mentioned the tree stump coming to life again he didn’t realize that He was the same as that stump and the he too could shoot forth his branches at the smell of spiritual rain.
We are like trees according to scripture
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
Now that we have become like trees we should behave like them
Trees are resilient
They are strong
They breathe in the bad and exhale good
11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
They produce fruit in due season.
Galatians 5:16-2
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
What kind of fruit do you produce?
Being fruitful is more than just bearing the fruit of the spirit.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.
Winning souls to the kingdom of God is being fruitful
A good tree can’t produce bad fruit.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Matthew 7:15-
