Contributed by James Westervelt on Nov 21, 2001

What is "physical fruit"? "An outward evidence of the inward nature of the tree." (We know an apple tree is an apple tree because is produces apples). Likewise, if we are walking in the Spirit, we will evidence His inward presence.

Parables Of The Mustard Seed And Leaven Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 26, 2017

The mustard seed was often planted by farmers in Palestine. Matthew and Mark point to the seed’s small size and contrast this with the size of the full-grown tree (a mustard seed can produce a tree 30 feet tall).

Why Are We Told To Grow Where We Are Planted?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 15, 2023

We are to wait for Him while He prepares us to be in the condition that we are to be in. In this ...read more
