    Get Connected Bear Fruits Series

    Contributed by Gabriel Adeyemo on Oct 5, 2019
     | 7,115 views

    We are created to be connected to our God. He demands a permanent relationship from us. It is only in Him we can flourish, be stable and fruitful

    One major truth about this age is that if you are not connected you will be isolated. William James says, “We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.” The topic for today’s sermon is derived from a command given to us by Jesus Christ in the Gospel ...read more

    Seek God, do justice - before it is too late.

    A BASKET OF RIPE SUMMER FRUIT. Amos 8:1-12.

    We’re not responsible for results, and the moment we stop production on the “act of producing the results,” the results will become easier and more better than we could ever expect!

    The seed of faith, the fruit of praise! Illus. from the book Guide posts, “ His mysterious ways: miracles of healing” What I remember most about the summer of 1934, when dad got his tonsils out, that’s how hot it was.

    Four Steps To Bearing Fruit

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,602 views

    John chapter 15 speaks of bearing fruit, which we often interpret as winning lost souls to Christ. However, winning people to Christ is only one meaning of the word fruit. Fruit symbolized the best result or sweetest prize in life.

    One time on the farm I was sitting on my porch admiring the rose bushes that were in bloom. A couple of weeks prior they had appeared to be dead. They hadn’t been pruned in over two years since my mom passed away. Each bush was a huge mass of dead branches. My wife asked me about them, and I ...read more

    The Lord desires that His people take Him seriously, but that they not take themselves too seriously.

    He wants them to wipe off their grim looks, put smiles on their faces, and let laughter flow from their lips. As we learned in the previous sermon: • The world can give us happiness because happiness comes from WITHOUT. • Only God can give us JOY because joy comes from WITHIN. When the lost world ...read more

    You may be a believer for a number of years and you may long for a blessing in your life. God may give us barrenness so that we will come to the end of ourselves and recognize that it is God who gives the increase.
