    Apple Of Love Series

    Contributed by James Westervelt on Nov 21, 2001
    based on 83 ratings
     | 6,944 views

    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.

    THE APPLE OF LOVE In John 15:8, Jesus declared, "In this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, so shall you be My disciples." We glorify the Father and prove that we are followers of Jesus, when we produce the Fruit of the Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit is much ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 6, 2014
     | 5,818 views

    A look at Jesus' insistence that a good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit. Includes an explanation concerning the thought that most lives are a mixed bag of good and bad fruit.

    WHAT EXACTLY DO WE MEAN BY "FRUIT"? Generally when we talk about fruit there are two kinds: internal soul transformation and external people impact. - 1 Corinthians 15:20, 23; Galatians 5:22-23; Colossians 1:10. A. Internal soul transformation. - By this I mean that God is shaping you into ...read more

    Awake into the likeness of Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Time to awaken into His likeness Zechariah 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the Angel [of the Lord]. 3:4 And He spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him.

    While there is no way to name a specific date, Jesus gave three clues as the general time when we should be looking for his return.

    INTRODUCTION A little boy came home from his first day in school. His mother met him and asked, “What did you learn today?” He replied, “Not enough, I guess. They want me to come back tomorrow.” In this message I hope you will learn the lesson something about the Second ...read more

     | 4,559 views

    This time of year, people are in search of the perfect Christmas tree. The first Christmas tree, however, is the most important and perfect of all—the family tree of Jesus. This sermon looks at the first person listed in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus: Abraham.

    INTRODUCTION By a show of hands, how many of you have done the Ancestry DNA testing? I did it a few months ago, and they recently updated their database, and with the updated results, I have some questions. I know my family tree goes back to Italy on my mom’s side, and Germany, Ireland, and ...read more

    Parables Of The Mustard Seed And Leaven Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 26, 2017
     | 6,753 views

    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).

    Probably Perea Lesson: Parables of the Mustard Seed and Leaven Luke 13:18-21 When ever Jesus wanted to explain what something was like, to people who didn’t know anything about it, He used parables in which He would compare it to something they did know about. So Christ undertakes here to ...read more

    In our story of Israel’s first steps towards the Promised Land we find truths about what Jesus did for us coming to this earth, dying upon the cross, and His resurrection, but also some examples we need to navigate our own journey and how God guides, provides, and corrects.

    we can always grow in faith with the right 'manure'

    Luke 13:1-9 A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

    The blooms of the fig tree always appear before the leaves in spring. When Jesus saw leaves on a fig tree, he expected the fruit.

    Let me begin by saying something about Jesus cursing the fig tree. You will also find this story in Matthew 21: 18 and 19. This tree was a fruit-producing plant which could be either a tall tree or a low-spreading shrub. The size of the tree depended on its location and soil. The fruit of the ...read more

    There are a lot of debates about the origin of evil but is it possible that God is responsible? A rather difficult subject attempted to be explained.

    I want to tell you the story of Farmer Joe who had an accident. When the accident first took place, Farmer Joe decided not to sue the trucking company responsible for the accident. Later he reconsidered. In court, the trucking company’s fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. "Didn’t ...read more

    Abner was driven by his own will, his own gains, and his own ambition. Such godless pursuits lead him to a life of vanity and fruitless end.

    The author devoted 4 chapters in the beginning of 2 Samuel to the 7½ years before David was made King over all Israel. • And half of this portion has to do with this man Abner, the commander who once served under Saul. • He was only mentioned briefly in 1 Samuel as the son of Ner, ...read more
