    Plastic Faith

     | 424 views

    Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

    An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,924 views

    There’s nothing that reveals more about a believer than his/her prayer life. How we approach God of what we’re willing to ask for shows how we view God. It is very similar to how a child will make a request of their father.

    PRAYER THAT OPENS DOORS "Knocking on Heaven’s Door" Matthew 7:7-11 Let me start with a question this morning. What is the single biggest prayer request you have ever made? What is the biggest answer you have ever asked God for? • Perhaps it was for healing for yourself or for another family ...read more
