In this message, Pastor Becky highlights the importance of pruning as a pathway to a fruitful life. God is portrayed as the “vine dresser,” pruning us not as punishment, but out of kindness so that we may bear more fruit.

Devotion : Luke 13:6-9 / Fruitful Repentence by Community Lutheran Church

Does Adam's genealogy contain a secret message that needs to be de-coded? In Genesis 5, we see a very different family tree from Cain's. In the previous chapter. And, some have suggested there's a secret message here. They say the message is in the Hebrew meaning of each name. Others have suggested, there's a set of numbers that reveal a hidden message. I do believe there's a message and its often hidden to the naked eye. But, its not what you might think. This genealogy is NOT boring, its incredibly deep.Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

In Genesis 4, Cain kills his brother Abel and is exiled from Eden to be a fugitive and a wanderer. And, usually that's all that most people know about Cain. But, Genesis 4 tells us more about Cain and his descendants. We're told he builds a city, and his descendants are worse than he was. Then, Genesis 4 concludes with Adam and Eve replacing Abel with a son named Seth. These two family lines will setup the rest of the biblical story. But, you need to understand the significance of Cain's city and how this is building to the story of Noah.Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

Paul's prayer reflects a desire for the church to grow in knowledge of Who God is and in experience of the Holy Spirit's equipping as the means of understanding what His purpose and will for our lives is. Which Paul summarizes with a few key phrases:   - to bear fruit - to grow in knowing God - to be strengthened by God - to give thanks to GodThis will of God resides over, under, and within the specific details of our day to day. It is not so much as discovering which career to pursue, etc, as it is learning what it means to live as a child of God and citizen of His kingdom.   "‘Fruitful in every good work.' Here is room and range enough — in ‘every good work.' Have you the ability to preach the gospel? Preach it! Does a little child need comforting? Comfort it! Can you stand up and vindicate a glorious truth before thousands? Do it! Does a poor saint need a bit of dinner from your table? Send it to her. Let works of obedience, testimony, zeal, charity, piety, and philanthropy all be found in your life. Do not select big things as your special line, but glorify the Lord also in the littles — ‘fruitful in every good work.'” ---Charles Spurgeon

Preaching: Tim Shaw "Be Fruitful and Multiply and Fill the Earth" VIII. Genesis Genesis 1:28

"Am I really one of those who depend upon their mental prayer, their visits to the Blessed Sacrament, above all upon their Mass or their Communion, to put real moving power into their preaching? If I am not, I may perhaps be a loudly 'tinkling cymbal,' or even give forth the more pompous din of 'sounding brass,' but I am not communicating to others any love, that love which makes the eloquence of the friends of God impossible to resist." Part Four of the classic work by the French Trappist monk, Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard (1858-1935), describes the many ways in which the interior life ensures the fruitfulness of active apostolic works. Episode 4: Part Four (sections a - d) 00:00 - Intro 00:39 - The Interior Life is the Condition on which the Fruitfulness of Active Works Depends 07:36 - a. The Interior Life Draws Down the Blessings of God 15:18 - b. It Makes the Apostle Capable of Sanctifying Others by His Example 23:51 - c. It Makes the Apostle Radiate the Supernatural: the Efficacy of This Radiation 01:13:42 - d. It Makes the Gospel Worker Truly Eloquent This work will be released in its entirety in episodic format.

Show Summary: Which fruit of the Spirit do you struggle with? As we work to be more Christlike, we often struggle with different Spirit-produced characteristics in different seasons of life. In this special God Hears Her conversation hosted by Eryn Eddy Adkins, Elisa Morgan invites us to consider the fruit of the Spirit and how we can grow in these qualities of character to reflect Jesus in everything we do.    Notes and Quotes:  “Most of us, no matter what our age, we want to grow a life that matters. We want to leave a legacy of character.” —Elisa Morgan  “It's not up to us to grow the fruit [of the Spirit]. It's up to God to grow the fruit, but we have the opportunity to cooperate with Him as the fruit producer; the orchard keeper in our lives.” —Elisa Morgan  “God's fruit of the Spirit is His characteristics evident in our personalities. So joy in you might look a little different than joy in me, but it's still going to look like joy.” —Elisa Morgan   Verses:  Galatians 5:17-25 Jeremiah 17:7-8  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 86 – When We Pray Like Jesus: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/when-we-pray-like-jesus/ GHH Ep 115 – Unhurried Transformation with Gem Fadling: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/unhurried-transformation/  Links:  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Fruitful Living by Elisa Morgan: https://a.co/d/9pTkuIF Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM

Abiding in Christ is the only to produce the true fruit that comes from the Holy Spirit. In order to live a fruitful life, believers must: 1. Abide in Christ, 2. Bear Good Fruit, 3. Love God's People. Listen now as Pastor Brandon preaches from John 15.

What does it truly mean to flourish—and why does Scripture present flourishing as God's original design, not a modern ambition? In this opening episode of Called to Flourish, Robert Wachter, Global Marketing Director, sits down with Jay Bransford, President & CEO of Best Christian Workplaces, to explore God's heart for human flourishing. Drawing from Genesis and the words of Jesus, Jay reflects on how true flourishing flows not from striving, but from abiding in Christ—and how leadership is ultimately a shepherding calling shaped by humility, integrity, and trust in God's work. You'll gain biblical insight on: • God's original design for flourishing • Why flourishing begins with abiding in Christ • How grace—not self-effort—leads to lasting fruit • What faithful leadership looks like in God's economy

Send us a textIn this episode (339), we examine Hebrews 5: 11–6: 3, where the author pauses his teaching on Christ's high priesthood to deliver a loving rebuke: the believers have become "dull of hearing" from spiritual laziness and comfort, still needing milk when they should be on solid food and teaching others. Exploring what true discipleship means—entering the School of Christ, total surrender, making disciples, and living for Him—we're challenged to leave elementary foundations behind, grow in grace, excel still more, and pursue maturity through discipline, applying God's living Word, and fellowship. Avoid stagnation; embrace the vibrant, purposeful life Christ calls us to!Appreciate this content?

You probably know the story of Cain and Abel. But, there's a dark truth hidden in the shadows within this story, that I missed for years. It has to do with this monster called “sin” that's crouching at Cain's door. But, it also involves the ground. And, maybe you've never considered this, but the ground is a consistent point of emphasis in this story for some reason. So, what really moved Cain to kill his brother Abel? What was happening in that moment? And, why is Abel's blood said to be crying out to God from the ground?Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

Having reflected on Isaiah's imagery of a shoot growing out of a stump, we now turn to the life of Christ at work in the lives of New Yorkers. This short series will minister to the hopes and expectations we have for ourselves in 2026, as we're reminded of our own unique mission as a local church in NYC.

Ben Chase kicks off our new series called 'Toward Missional Living'. Sunday January4th, 2025.

Rev. Kim Klaudt Sunday January 4, 2026

I. FaithII. FaithfulIII. FaintheartedIV. FretfulV. Fruitful

On this first Sunday of 2026, we continue our Gospel of Mark Series by turning to a passage of Scripture that helps us lay a strong foundation for a fruitful spiritual year. Together, we explore Jesus' Parable of the Sower and reflect on what the four soils reveal about our hearts and our lives of faith. Scripture Referenced: Mark 4:1-9

Unattached branches are unfruitful branches.(John 15:1-4)

Pastor Andy Woodfield preaches a sermon from 2 Peter chapter one verses five through eight on a faith that is effective and fruitful.

As a new year begins, most of us feel the tension of wanting life to grow in a better direction—without quite knowing how. We're busy, stretched, distracted, and often carrying more than we realize. In this message, we explore an ancient idea with surprising relevance: a "rule of life"—the rhythms, habits, and practices that quietly shape who we're becoming. Through three vivid images—a monastery, a vineyard, and an invitation from Jesus—we're invited to consider how real fruitfulness doesn't come from trying harder, but from staying connected and being formed over time. Jesus' promise is simple and startling: rest for your soul. This message is an invitation to slow down, remain connected to him, and thoughtfully shape the patterns of your everyday life so that growth happens naturally—from the inside out. Whether you're feeling weary, hopeful, or somewhere in between, this is a moment to pause and ask: What is forming me—and where is it leading?

If you know the story of Cain and Abel, you know that God accepts Abel but rejects Cain. And, everyone wants to know why? There are some great theories but at the end of the day, everything is speculation. Some say Cain is the unholy offspring of Eve and the serpent. Some say the ground is cursed so his offering of fruit is cursed. Others say it has to do with the fact that it wasn't his best. But, what if there's something that all of these theories are overlooking? See, there's a powerful revelation underneath all of this that usually gets missed because everyone focuses on Cain's rejection. And, I can't wait to show you the deeper message.Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

With honesty and wisdom, she reminds us that grief is not linear, seasons change, and God remains our anchor through it all.We dive into her newest book, Flourish: Grace-Centered Practices to Protect and Grow a Fruitful Life in Christ, and unpack the Fruit of the Spirit—why we often feel like we “don't have enough,” and how God grows fruit in us through surrender, not self-effort.In This Episode, We Talk About: • Leaving the corporate world to follow God's call • Walking through grief with hope and eternal perspective • Why the Fruit of the Spirit is grown through surrender, not striving • Recognizing seasons and giving ourselves grace within them • Learning to draw strength from God instead of ourselvesThis conversation is rich, grounding, and deeply encouraging for anyone navigating loss, calling, or a longing for deeper spiritual growth.Bio:Ava Pennington is an accomplished author, speaker, and Bible teacher whose previous work, Reflections on the Names of God, won third place in the 2023 Golden Scroll Awards.
