Look at what happens when you fix your gaze on the eternal perspective from a place of deep, secret surrender.   Many believers are caught in a frustrating loop of sin, confession, and continuous spiritual struggle, treating their walk with God as a mechanical list of duties. We look at how God utilizes hiddenness, isolation, and pressure to break our old nature so that our roots can grow deep into King Jesus. Discover what changes when you stop functioning as a mechanical slave to good works and start living out your destiny as a son or daughter of the Living God.    The lower the fruit hangs, the easier it is for a hungry world to taste that the Lord is good—are you ready to deepen your roots?   Special thanks to Joey Ehlers and Fireplace Church for having me!    Click here to go to the official Revival Cry YouTube channel.

Friday of the Eighth Week in Ordinary Time - Barren Spirituality or Fruitfulness

Catholic Daily Reflections

Read OnlineEarly in the morning, as they were walking along, they saw the fig tree withered to its roots. Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” Mark 11:20–21The prophets often used the image of a barren fig tree to symbolize Israel's fruitless spirituality (cf. Hosea 9:10; Jeremiah 8:13). Though they were God's chosen people, with whom God established His Covenant, time and moral decay led to a fruitless spirituality. Despite their outward observance of the Law, their hearts were far from God.In today's Gospel, Jesus was hungry as He left Bethany and journeyed toward Jerusalem. Along the way, He saw a fig tree from a distance with leaves, so He went to it to pick a fig to eat, but He found none. He immediately said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again!” (Mark 11:14). This was a prophetic action. The green tree symbolized the outward appearance of the people of Israel and especially the religious leaders, who appeared righteous but bore no fruit of genuine faith, repentance, or divinely inspired charity.After arriving at the Temple in Jerusalem, Jesus drove out those buying and selling, overturning the tables of the moneychangers who were desecrating the sacredness of the Temple. As He did so, He recalled the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah: “Is it not written: ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples'? But you have made it a den of thieves” (Mark 11:17; cf. Isaiah 56:7; Jeremiah 7:11). Just as the barren fig tree symbolized fruitless spirituality, the cleansing of the temple revealed the corruption of worship that failed to honor God. Both acts were prophetic judgments against the emptiness of external religiosity, warning that God desires not outward appearances but true worship and spiritual fruitfulness from the heart.The next morning, on their way back to Jerusalem, Jesus and His disciples passed by the fig tree Jesus had cursed. To their amazement, it had “withered to its roots.” This sign of judgment sparked a conversation between Jesus and His disciples in which He taught them about the connection between faith, prayer, and forgiveness: “Have faith in God…I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours…When you stand to pray, forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance…” (Mark 11:22; 24–25). Faith in God, combined with humble prayer and forgiveness, is the key to spiritual fruitfulness.Jesus' prophetic action and teaching on prayer and forgiveness ring as true for us today as they did for the people of Israel. Like a green fig tree that bears no fruit, we can fall into the trap of being more concerned about our outward appearance of religiosity than about true prayer and worship that is fruitful for the Kingdom of God.We are the temples Jesus wants to cleanse today. Just as Jesus cast out corruption from the temple, so must we allow Him to cast out the sin and spiritual barriers within us that hinder true worship. Forgiveness is an essential part of this cleansing, as it removes the obstacles that block our prayers and relationships with God. True prayer flows from faith that trusts completely in God's power and from hearts that forgive without reservation. When our focus shifts from self-interest to the love of God and service of others, our lives become fruitful for the Kingdom.Reflect today on your soul as the new temple Jesus wants to cleanse. There is incredible potential for each one of us to bear an abundance of good fruit for His Kingdom. Begin by forgiving everyone from your heart. Then, approach prayer with faith that trusts God's providence and seeks His will. Let your worship be sincere—not for appearances or routine, but out of love for God and a desire for His Kingdom to grow. Fidelity to prayer and forgiveness will transform your life into one of fruitfulness and grace, leading you to the abundant life of His Kingdom. My Lord, the source of all abundant good fruit, You desire to cleanse my soul of every sin and obstacle that hinders true worship. You call me to a life of deep prayer, grounded in faith and forgiveness. Purify me, and use me to bear an abundance of good fruit for Your Kingdom. Make me a pure and holy child of true worship.

What does it actually look like to live a life empowered by God—not just in theory, but in everyday reality? Many believers wrestle with a sense of spiritual inconsistency, longing for deeper faith and lasting fruit but unsure how to get there. Acts 2 shows us that the Christian life was never meant to be lived in our own strength. In this passage, we see God move powerfully at Pentecost, filling His people with the Holy Spirit and launching the mission of the Church. This message walks through Acts 2:1–21, highlighting three key movements: being filled with the Holy Spirit, responding to God with humility, and becoming convinced that your life has a real Kingdom purpose. As the crowd witnesses the miraculous and wrestles with what it means, Peter stands and anchors the moment in Scripture, pointing to the fulfillment of God's promises and the beginning of a new era. At the center of it all is the promise that “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” The same God who poured out His Spirit then is still at work today—calling people to repentance, filling them with His Spirit, and sending them out with purpose. If you're looking to grow in your understanding of God's Word and walk in the power of the Spirit, we'd love to have you join us at Harvest Church in Arroyo Grande. We are committed to teaching the Bible faithfully, building authentic community, and worshiping Jesus together. Service times: 9am & 11am.

In Matthew 4:19, Jesus doesn't say "Figure it out." He says, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." The making is His work. The following is ours.In this message, we explore what happens to a person who keeps following Jesus: they naturally start fishing. Not because they're polished or pressured, but because Jesus changes what they love, what they see, and who they live for.Jesus called ordinary working men, fishermen with wet clothes and rough hands, into an extraordinary mission. He took what they already understood and redeemed it. And He's doing the same with you.Whether you've felt guilty for not sharing your faith or afraid of saying the wrong thing, this message will free you to start with one name, fish with relationship instead of pressure, invite before you feel ready, and trust Jesus with the catch.Faithfulness is casting. Fruitfulness belongs to Jesus.

You Don't Have to Do It All—The Power of Being Still with God

Walk Boldly With Jesus

You Don't Have to Do It All—The Power of Being Still with God Exodus 14:14 “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.” My friend Rosa just did a YouTube video about this, and I thought it would be perfect for an episode, as I know so many of you listening are going through some pretty hard stuff right now. Being still is not easy for most of us. We are doers, and we want to go, go, go. This is compounded by the fact that we live in a world that never stops. I know so many people who are doing so much, and they never have time to rest. They have jobs so busy they can't finish everything they are supposed to in the allotted 40-hour workweek. Being busy is not a bad thing in itself. Benjamin Franklin said, “Idle hands are the devil's playthings.” If we sit around doing nothing, we get bored, and who knows what we might get ourselves into. However, being too busy becomes a problem when we no longer make time for the Lord. Being busy becomes a problem when we stop recharging our batteries with the Holy Spirit's power and start relying on our own strength. Something I learned in Encounter Ministries is that all fruitfulness flows from our intimacy with Christ. Fruitfulness means success. The success of all that we do flows from our relationship with the Lord. Think about this in terms of your other relationships. Let's look at family life. Doesn't it seem true that the fruitfulness or the success of your family depends on your relationship with those in your family? What if you never talk to your spouse, never spend time with them, and just go about your day? It is not necessarily that you don't want to spend time with them; it is just that you don't seem to have the time. You don't make the time because there are so many other things you have to do.  How successful would that marriage be? What if you never had time to spend with your children? They have sports games or dance recitals, but you don't have time to go because you are always working. When you are at home, you don't spend time with them because you are trying to catch up on all the things to do around the house. If you never make time to spend with them, if you don't ever talk to them, how successful do you think your relationship with them will be? The same is true with your relationship with God. We need to make time for Him, and He will take care of all of our worries. When we spend time with Him, we can tell Him all that is going on. We can give Him our stresses, our cares, and our worries. We can hand them over to Him and let Him take care of them. Who else can we entrust our cares and worries to? The verse above says, “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.” After we talk to the Lord about what is going on in our lives, we can sit there in silence and let Him come into our hearts and heal us. The Lord has told us many times in our prayer group that He is coming in during the silence and healing our hearts. It is great to talk to the Lord. It is great to pray to the Lord and to do the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, and all the other devotions that we do to grow closer to the Lord. These are all amazing and will help develop a more intimate relationship with the Lord. The Lord is also calling us to a time with Him that is spent in silence. He just wants us to sit with Him. God can do all things. He can minister to you anywhere and anytime. Yet, He likes to come in the stillness. He likes to come to us when we make the time just to sit and be still with Him. I know it feels like you don't have any more time left in your schedule. However, if you spend quiet time consistently with Jesus, I am willing to bet you will see more time open up in your schedule. God can't be outdone in generosity. If you give him 20 minutes, He will give you 10 hours. He is that good. God's math is not the same as our math. It doesn't make the same kind of sense that our math does. If he can feed 5,000 men plus women and children with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, then he can certainly replace the 15 or 20 minutes during the day that you gave to Him in quiet time. My sister Dee gave me a plaque once with a poem on it, and I feel like it is the perfect poem for reminding us how important it is to start our day with the Lord. It shows how important it is to check in with God before starting our day. Here is the Poem:  The Difference By: Alan Grant  I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day;  I had so much to accomplish that I didn't have time to pray. Problems just tumbled out about me, and heavier came each task. “Why doesn't God help me?” I wondered. He answered, "You didn't ask.” I wanted to see joy and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray and bleak; I wondered why God didn't show me; He said, “But you didn't seek.” I tried to come into God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock.  God gently and lovingly chided, “My child, you didn't knock.” I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day.   I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.  As you can see by this poem, God is ready to help us; He is just waiting for us to ask. Then, once we ask, He is waiting for us to give Him the time to work on us, to heal us. If you are going through a really tough time right now, I want to invite you to some quiet time with the Lord today. Sit with Him and ask Him what He wants you to do, and then listen for His answer. If you need to be filled with energy, strength, hope, love, power, or anything else today, just ask the Lord, then sit for a few minutes and receive it. The Lord says when we ask, He answers, so when you ask for something, expect to receive it.  I know sometimes, maybe most of the time, it feels like we are all alone in our battles. We feel like we are the only ones fighting our fights. This verse this morning reminds us that we are not in this alone. Not only is God in it with us, but He will fight our battles for us if we let Him. If we turn our battles over to the Lord, He will take care of them for us. Isn't that amazing? This reminds me of 2 Kings 6:17. It says, "And Elisha prayed, 'Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” Imagine all the Lord surrounds us with. There is so much we can't see when it comes to the Lord.  We can't usually see His angels, we can't see the reason He allows some things to happen, and we can't always make sense of things. We might be sad that we can't see these things, and I often wish I could see into the spiritual world. However, we have to remember that there are also evil spirits in the spiritual world, and I think we would be very frightened if we saw all that goes on around us.  Even though we can't see God's horses and chariots of fire ready to fight for us, we can trust that they are there because the Bible is the Word of God. It is a fact, and it is God's promises to us. So, when we read in the Bible, “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.” We can take that to the bank. We can count on that. We can be still and watch as the Lord fights our battles for us. Can we be still and allow Him to do that today?  Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we ask that you help us to be still and allow us to fight our battles. We ask that you teach us how to be still and that you give us the power to do so because we really struggle with it. Lord, we thank you for all you do for us each day. We thank you for fighting our battles. We thank you for surrounding us with protection and an army to defend us. We want to call on that army, Lord. We want to hand over all of our struggles to you, Lord. You are the almighty one; you are the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. We love you so very much. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!  Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

What does it actually look like to live a Spirit-empowered life? Many people feel stuck—wanting growth, boldness, or deeper faith, but unsure how to move forward. Acts 2 shows us that the Christian life was never meant to be lived in our own strength. God doesn't just call His people—He empowers them. In Acts 2:1–21, we see the fulfillment of Jesus' promise as the Holy Spirit is poured out at Pentecost, empowering ordinary believers to proclaim the mighty works of God. Through the imagery of wind and fire, we're reminded that the Spirit brings life, purifies, and equips God's people for His mission. This message centers on a clear truth: God's people are supernaturally empowered to live a new life of faith and fruitfulness as they are continually filled with the Holy Spirit—walking in obedience, growing in boldness, and relying on His strength to carry out the Great Commission. If you're in the Arroyo Grande area, we'd love to invite you to join us at Harvest Church. Come grow in God's Word through verse-by-verse teaching, experience authentic community, and worship Jesus together with us. Service times: 9am & 11am. This message is part of our ongoing Bible teaching through the book of Acts, rooted in expository preaching and a commitment to studying Scripture in context. Whether you're exploring faith or committed to following Jesus, this Christian sermon will help you understand the role of the Holy Spirit and how to live a Spirit-filled life.

Spiritual Fruitfulness Comes Through Brokenness

Episode Summary: One of the great paradoxes of the Christian faith is that fruitfulness comes not from strength but from brokenness. Jesus said, “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies it remains by itself alone. But if it dies it bears much fruit.” Peter was the arrogant leader of the disciples who boasted “Lord even if all the other disciples forsake you, I never will.”  Before the next morning, he denied knowing Jesus three times and when the cock crowed, he went out and wept bitterly, a broken man. Never again in Scripture do we see that arrogance in Peter. Instead, he passes on to others a lesson that he learned through his brokenness “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Can you imagine God pulling out his big guns AGAINST YOU? The fastest way to see that happen is pride. And one of pride's most subtle manifestations is taking our sins lightly rather than weeping over them. Today's episode from Nehemiah is a great picture of a nation, broken by its sin.  For Further Prayerful Thought:What stood out to you most as the priests recounted the cycle of Israel's history—God's goodness and mercy, Israel's rebellion against him, the punishment for their sins (covenant sanctions)?Why do you think James is so insistent that to draw near to God we must feel broken over our own sin?In the Beatitudes, Jesus ranked mourning over sin second on the list of kingdom attitudes ahead of meekness, purity of heart, etc. How would grieving over our own sins, and grieving over the suffering of those who are still enslaved to sin because they do not know Jesus impact our heart attitudes towards the lost?For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

Continuing through the book of Galatians, Pastor Scott Engebretson explores the vital role our environment plays in our spiritual growth. Using the devastating impact of recent freezes on Florida's citrus crops as a metaphor, Scott explains that just as a physical freeze can destroy fruit, our "spiritual climate" can either nurture or stifle the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Focusing on Galatians 2, he examines how we are justified by faith in Christ rather than by observing the law. Scott challenges the community to consider if they are living in a "freeze" of legalism or self-reliance, and instead invites everyone to cultivate a life of partnership with God—sharing their stories and engaging in ministry—so that the fruits of love, peace, and faithfulness can truly flourish.

This message challenges us to look beyond intentions and focus on what our lives consistently produce. Fruitfulness isn't just something we claim—it's something that shows up in our habits, decisions, and responses each day. As believers, we're called to evaluate whether our actions align with a life rooted in Christ, allowing Him to shape us into something that grows, thrives, and impacts others.

Pastor Terry’s Bible Study Podcast

Wednesday, April 15, 2026II Week After EasterToday's episode moves from celebration to formation—showing how God shapes His people through testing, identity, and abiding connection.In Exodus 15:22–16:10, the song of victory quickly gives way to the reality of the wilderness. Israel faces bitter water and hunger, and their complaints rise—but so does God's provision. He makes the sweet, promises daily bread, and begins teaching them to trust Him one day at a time. The wilderness isn't just a place of need; it's a place where dependence is formed.In 1 Peter 2:1–10, Peter reminds believers of who they are in Christ. We are living stones being built into a spiritual house, a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Once we were not a people, but now we belong to God. Identity becomes the foundation for how we live and relate to one another.Finally, in John 15:1–11, Jesus gives the key to it all: “Abide in me.” He is the true vine, and we are the branches. Fruitfulness doesn't come from striving but from staying connected to Him. As we abide in His love and remain in His Word, our lives begin to bear lasting fruit, and our joy is made complete.Together, these passages remind us: God uses the wilderness to teach us trust, He defines us with a new identity, and He calls us to abide in Him as the source of true life and lasting fruit.

Fruitfulness doesn’t begin with striving. It begins with remaining. In this short midweek prayer, we return to Jesus’s words in John 15, where He says, “I am the true vine… you are the branches.” This guided Christian prayer invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reflect on what it means to abide in Christ. Jesus reminds us that apart from Him, we can do nothing. We are not responsible for manufacturing spiritual fruit on our own. Our role is to remain—connected to the Vine, trusting the Father as the Gardener, and allowing Him to prune what no longer serves His purposes in our lives. Pruning can feel uncomfortable. But it is never careless. It is always loving and purposeful, leading toward deeper growth and greater fruitfulness. Take a few quiet minutes today to rest in this truth: your responsibility is to remain. The fruit is His work.

No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.5 “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.” If you are helped by these meditations, consider sharing them with a friend or leaving a review.
