Matthew 4:18-25 – The Only Way Christians Bear Fruit | Kingdom Come Bible Study by Tim Hatch

By Matthew Jenkins - The count to Pentecost starts with the waving of firstfruits to God in the wave sheaf offering. The count ends with two loaves waved before the Lord which Leviticus tells us are the firstfruits to the Lord. Pentecost is all about the firstfruits and offering the firstfruits to the Lord. In order to

John 15: I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (NIV) John 15:8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. (NIV) 1. Bear Fruit by How You Live John 15:8-10 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love (NIV) Psalm 1:1–2 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. (ESV) Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (NKJV) Galatians 5:19-21 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. (NLT) Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. (ESV)

(NIV) Proverbs 11:25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. (NIV)
 3. Bear Fruit by How You Last John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. (NIV) Colossians 3:23-24 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” (NIV)

Bear Fruit

Jesusbegins, “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he cameseeking fruit on it, and found none. Then he said to the vinedresser, ‘Behold,these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none. Cut itdown; why does it cumber the ground?'” In Jewish law (Leviticus19:23-25), a new tree's fruit wasn't eaten for three years, the fourth year'scrop went to God, and the owner enjoyed it from the fifth year on. This ownerhad waited seven years—far beyond the norm—yet the tree remained barren.Frustrated, he orders it cut down, tired of it wasting good soil. Butthe story doesn't end there. The vinedresser intercedes: “Lord, let it alonethis year also, till I shall dig about it and dung it. And if it bears fruit,well; and if not, then after that you shall cut it down”. Theparable stops abruptly, leaving us to ponder the outcome. Did the tree bearfruit? Was it spared or chopped down? Jesus leaves it open-ended, shifting thefocus from the tree's fate to ours. Thisparable speaks on two levels: to the nation of Israel and to us as individuals.For Israel, the fig tree was a symbol (Isaiah 5:1-7; Matthew 21:18-20). God,the owner, had lavished it with unique blessings—covenants, commandments,patriarchs, prophets, and priests (Romans 9:1-5). Unlike Gentile nations leftto fend for themselves, Israel was planted in fertile soil to bless the world.Jesus, the vinedresser, spent three years of ministry crossing the land,teaching with unmatched wisdom and working miracles like no one else. Yet, thenation remained barren, rejecting Him in unbelief. “Why does it cumber theground?” it was asked—Israel wasn't just fruitless; it spoiled the soil byfailing its calling. Still,God's patience shines through. The vinedresser pleads for one more year—moretime to dig, fertilize, and nurture. This mirrors the forty years after Jesus'ministry when the early church, starting with a Jewish remnant at Pentecost,preached the gospel powerfully to the nation. But rejection persisted. By AD70, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the temple—the tree was cut down. God'sgrace had limits; judgment came when the borrowed time ran out. Ona personal level, this parable is a mirror. God is gracious and long-suffering(2 Peter 3:9), doing more than enough to draw us to repentance and fruitfulness(Matthew 3:7-10). He has every right to cut us down for our barrenness, yet inmercy, He spares us. The three years might reflect Jesus' ministry in ourlives—His presence, teaching, and Spirit working to produce fruit like love,faith, and obedience. The extra year is His ongoing patience, giving us time torespond. But we can't presume on His kindness forever—judgment will come (James5:9). Theopen ending is intentional. Like the Book of Jonah, it forces us to finish thestory with our own lives. The question isn't “What happened to the tree?” but“What will happen to me?” God seeks fruit—real, tangible evidence of a changedlife. He won't accept substitutes like excuses or good intentions. When we hearof tragedies claiming lives, we should ask, “Am I just taking up space, or am Ibearing fruit for God's glory?” The time to repent and grow is now—“Now is theday of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). ClosingChallengeReflecton your own “fig tree” this week. Where is God seeking fruit in yourlife—perhaps in your relationships, service, or devotion? Identify one barrenarea and take a step to nurture it—pray for strength, serve someone, or rootout a sin. Don't let this extra year pass fruitlessly; respond to His patiencewith action today. PrayerHeavenlyFather, thank You for Your patience, sparing us when we deserve judgment. Likethe vinedresser, You tend us with grace, seeking fruit. Forgive our barrennessand stir us to repent and grow. Help us bear fruit that glorifies You—love,faith, and obedience. Give us urgency to act now, trusting Your mercy won'tlast forever. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Welcome back to The Switch!This one's about bearing fruit—even when no one's picking it. We kick it off with the story of Macario Martinez, a street sweeper turned viral musician. Everybody sees the blow-up... nobody saw the years of showing up.Switch-it-up Steps:The Tree Was Always There:Macario was posting, creating, working—and nobody was stopping by his “tree.” But the fruit was there. That one night, someone picked it—and everything changed.The Only Thing You Can Control is the Song:You don't control who shares it, likes it, or goes viral. You control the work. That's it. Same with this podcast, same with any creative project.Don't Let Your Fruit Rot:If you have talent, if you've got something inside—you have to express it. We talked about how buying fruit and letting it sit til it goes bad is just like letting your gift rot. If you don't use it, it's wasted.I Gave Up Before:Oscar opens up about how he stopped before—subconsciously thinking “what's the point?” But now? He's back. New season, new commitment to showing up and sharing the fruit.Overnight Doesn't Mean Easy:We get into Macario's so-called “overnight success” and how fast rise can mean fast fall. One-hit-wonder bands, viral moments, the whole thing. You have to build the roots, not just chase the spotlight.Be the Connector:Eric shares a moment from that day—how he helped connect someone to the right person. That's what it takes. Somebody shared Macario's video. Someone connected the dots. Who are you helping shine today?Gratitude + The Share:As always, we close it out with what we're grateful for, and a reminder:Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. Be the one who picks the fruit and passes it on.Stay Connected:Catch Eric: ⁠@infinitetalkspod⁠Catch Oscar: ⁠@happyoscarstudio⁠Don't wait for the perfect moment. Bear fruit anyway. Someone will come by.

In this message, we'll unearth Jesus' patient heart in the parable of the fig tree. Discover God's invitation to "dig deep" and "fertilize" your inner life, trusting His timing and embracing His repeated chances for you to bear fruit that lasts.Passage: Luke 13:6-9

In this homily for the 3rd Sunday of Lent (Year C), we reflect on Jesus' urgent call to repentance through the parable of the barren fig tree. Fr. Michael explores how different generations in the Church have approached justice and mercy—and how both extremes can miss the heart of the Gospel. Drawing from personal experience, Church history, and Scripture, this talk reminds us that the call to repentance is not a threat, but an invitation to hope. God's mercy is greater than all our sins, and Lent is the time to return to Him with our whole hearts.

Jaime L. Waters preaches for the Third Sunday of Lent, offering a reflection on repentance:"Repentance allows us to turn our attention to aspects of ourselves and our lives that need more care and correction. The gardener acknowledges the ways that the tree has failed and commits to cultivating the earth and adding nutrients to nourish the tree and help it grow. The gardener asks for time, recognizing that renewal might not happen overnight. Then, the parable simply ends unresolved which I think is very fitting. The missing resolution and the lack of conclusion might signal that we need to finish the story. We have the opportunity to give time and care to nourish ourselves (and others too), and the results hopefully will be very positive! Today's Gospel reminds us to be intentional about our spiritual growth and development, turning away from sin and turning towards God, so that we, too, may bear fruit."Jaime L. Waters is Associate Professor of Old Testament and Program Director of Courage to Preach at Boston College Clough School of Theology and Ministry. She holds graduate degrees from Yale Divinity School (MA, Religion) and Johns Hopkins University (MA, PhD, Near Eastern Studies).

On Sunday we wrapped up our series on prayer with a teaching on John 15 and our identity as those chosen to bear fruit. The fruit that we are appointed to bear is the renewal of all people to God's design. We were appointed for this by God and it's our responsibility to remain connected to Him as our life source in order to do so. We remain by believing truth about what Jesus' blood affords and who we are because of it. We remain by living in thankfulness and acknowledging our need for Him. We remain by confessing sin and standing on Jesus' blood for forgiveness. Revival is all about the priority of His presence above everything else.
