Cut Down Some Trees
Luke 3:
We do not cut down living and healthy trees!
We cut down dead or dying unhealthy trees!
Dr. Luke is telling us of John the Baptist’s message and our need to IDENTIFY AND CHOP DOWN 5 TYPES OF DEAD TREES IN OUR CHURCHES!

5 TYPES OF DEAD TREES IN OUR CHURCHES
Repentance without fruit (vs 7,8)
repentance without fruit is a dead tree
Fruit of true repentance will be a changed life!
God doesn’t need us but desires us to serve Him and have a true relationship with Him
He can raise up Children unto Abraham or Christians to worship His from stones if He desired but DOESNT He chooses us to come to Him in true repentance and surrender
Fruit of true repentance will be a changed life!
ie: forest fire- cleanes the forest and kills all the dead fallen trees, leaves etc.... the animals… the snakes and scorpions and varmin leave their burrows during a fire and flee but once the fire is gone they return to the same hole in the ground they left
Same is true for use- without true repentance and surrender to God we may make a profession and clean up for a little while but our lives return back to our same old ways like nothing ever happened!
WE WERE NOT CHANGED!!
After profession and baptism, etc.... repentance doesn’t remain, this is not true repentance but instead emotion and often verbal confession
Repentance without fruit is a dead tree!
Religion without relationship is a dead tree! (vs 8)
You must be born again!
To enter into the Kingdom of Heaven you must be a new creature!
The old man must die and a new man born!
Work of the Spirit.... transformation that God will do and will complete!
Family history cannot save you, status in the church cannot save you!
He can raise up Children unto Abraham or Christians to worship His from stones if He desired but DOESN'T He chooses us to come to Him in true repentance and surrender and have a true relationship with Him!
Faith without works is a dead tree! (vs 10-14)
People asked “What shall we do?”
Ref Book of James- Faith without work is dead!
We are to demonstrate faith by Godly Living and good works.
Help those in need and be satisfied with what you have, do violence to no one, and do not gossip or accuse others falsely.
A Gospel without judgement is a dead tree! (vs 16)
We are to judge righteously based on Truth- found only in God’s Word
we must speak up and call sin - sin! and we must do so boldly under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and show other’s what God’s Word says!
We are not the judge but God and His Word is the Judge!
This is where our problem is in America, we as the body of Christ have remained silent for far too long, we blame the government but the PROBLEM ISN’T IN THE WHITE HOUSE, IT’S IN THE CHURCH HOUSE!
Without prayer, intercession and taking a bold stand upon God’s Word we are failing to fulfil our purpose!
Jesus is coming to separate the wheat from the chaff.
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
The age-old practice of literally separating wheat from chaff.
When winnowing grain, farmers wanted to remove all chaff from wheat.
In the literal meaning, chaff is the husk around a seed, which one does not eat.
In order to eat the wheat, one must remove the chaff.
Put grain in large silos open windows at top and beat the grain to separate and then fling it into the air, wind would catch the grain and blow it out

Wind, Fire- speaking of the power and work of the Holy Spirit, will remove the chaff and it will burn eternally!
The expression persists to this day.
Authority without morality is a dead tree! (vs 19)
Herod had no morality or virtue but had authority
Those with authority in Churches that are not truly children of God should be removed!
Their leadership and guidance should be removed!
The world sees what we do and sees the hypocrisy!
It is destroying the witness and ministry of the church!
