Fruit Check: Embracing Trials that Help us Grow our Spiritual Fruit

Join us as we humorously explore what it means to be "Fruity Christians."  Drawing from Matthew 21:18-19, we unpack the metaphor of spiritual productivity, challenging ourselves to produce genuine, godly fruit rather than just showcasing outward appearances.  Considering how truffles grow under certain conditions and in a specific climate, we understand how some spiritual fruit is also rare, and only comes about from embracing growth through trials and life’s difficulties.  These reflections inspire us to align our lives with biblical promises, embracing challenges as stepping stones toward spiritual maturity and fruitful living marked by answered prayers.
