Favor, Faith & Fruitfulness | Apostle Moses Mukisa

This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued A Manifesto of Fruitfulness, teaching from Galatians 5:13–26 on the fruit of the Spirit. We are all being formed by something, but we are also being deformed. Sin teaches us to organize our lives around ourselves, while the Spirit transforms us from the inside out. The fruit of the Spirit isn't something we manufacture by trying harder. It is the evidence of a life being transformed by Christ. Fruit comes through union, not imitation; by beholding, not striving; in community, not isolation. As we remain planted in Him, the Spirit slowly forms us into people who reflect the character of Jesus.

Jesus expects His followers to bear fruit, and that fruitfulness is not optional. Drawing from the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, every believer has been entrusted with something valuable, and the question is not whether God has given you something but what you are doing with it. Burying what God has given out of fear or complacency is not neutral; it has real consequences. Fruitfulness grows out of abiding in Christ, being present in community, and investing your relationships, story, and resources into the mission He has called you to. The love Christians have for one another is itself a witness to the world, and your personal story of holding onto hope in hard times is one of the most powerful testimonies you can offer. Jesus chose you, appointed you, and equipped you to bear fruit that lasts, and that is not a burden but an invitation into His joy.

Send us your feedback — we're listening2 Corinthians 9:6 — Whoever Sows Generously Will Also Reap Generously: An Early Evening Prayer for Purpose and Generosity Themes: Purpose · Generosity · Faith Scripture — 2 Corinthians 9:6 (NIV)  “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” As evening arrives, the pace changes. We can look back across the day and wonder what difference our choices have made. Perhaps we encouraged someone. Perhaps we missed an opportunity. Perhaps we gave more than we thought we had. Spoken Prayer Lord Jesus, as evening arrives, the pace changes. We can look back across the day and wonder what difference our choices have made. Perhaps we encouraged someone. Perhaps we missed an opportunity. Perhaps we gave more than we thought we had, or perhaps we are simply grateful that we made it through. Your Word reminds us that those who sow generously will also reap generously. Tonight, we are not measuring our worth by what we achieved. We are asking what we planted through our words, our kindness, our patience and our faithfulness. We pray for the family in South Africa, the worker in Germany, the person in Kenya, the household in Austria, the neighbour in Belgium, and the listener in France. Jesus, take the small things we have offered today and use them for Your purposes. Teach us that generosity is not only about money. It can be a listening ear, a patient answer, forgiveness offered, time given, encouragement spoken, or simply choosing love when it would have been easier to withdraw. Holy Spirit, show us where we can become more open-handed with our lives. Where disappointment has made us guarded, soften us. Where tiredness has made us impatient, restore grace. Where we have given faithfully without seeing results, help us trust You with the harvest. Jesus, we place today's seeds into Your hands. We do not need to see everything grow tonight. Let purpose remain alive in us as the day closes. May what we say and do carry Your love into tomorrow. Keep us generous in spirit, faithful in small things and willing to let You use our lives for something greater than ourselves. Amen. Blessing May Jesus make your life fruitful in ways you cannot always see. May generosity, kindness and faithfulness flow through you, and may God use even the smallest seed for His purposes About This Prayer An early evening prayer about purpose, generosity and the things we sow into other people's lives.

WALK ON BOTH LEGS15 Truths About Loving God, Serving People and Fulfilling Your AssignmentThe Two Voids, the Authentic Self, and the Journey from Intimacy with God to Fruitfulness and MultiplicationBlog link https://www.otakada.org/walk-on-both-legs-15-truths-about-loving-god-serving-people-and-fulfilling-your-assignment/Monday, September 7th, 2027There is a kind of emptiness that money cannot fill. Success cannot fill it. Marriage, recognition, possessions, influence, applause and achievement cannot fill it. Only God can. But there is another kind of emptiness that many believers do not immediately understand. It is possible to genuinely love God, pray, worship, study Scripture, fast and pursue His presence, yet still carry a persistent feeling that something is missing. You begin to wonder, Why am I still restless when I love God? Why does it seem as though there should be more to my life?Sometimes we interpret every such feeling as spiritual decline. Sometimes we think we need another conference, another prayer meeting, another fast or another spiritual experience. Yet there may be another explanation: you may be standing firmly on one leg while neglecting the other.Jesus gave us a remarkable summary of the entire law and the prophets in Matthew 22:37–40: “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind… And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” There are the two legs: Love God. Love people. Relationship and responsibility. Communion and commission. Presence and purpose. Receiving and releasing. God never designed us to choose between them. We were created to walk on both legs.1. THE FIRST VOID: THE HUNGER FOR GODDeep within the human heart is a hunger that creation cannot completely satisfy because it was designed for the Creator. You can try to fill it with money, relationships, career, titles, houses, travel, possessions or influence. You can fill every hour of your calendar and surround yourself with people, yet when everything becomes quiet, the hunger can return. There is a place in us that belongs to God, and nothing created can permanently occupy the place reserved for the Creator.God did not merely create us to know about Him. He created us to know Him, walk with Him, hear Him, love Him and increasingly become transformed into His likeness. This is why Jesus identified loving God with all our heart, soul and mind as the first and greatest commandment. Everything begins there. Purpose without God can become ambition. Service without God can become exhausting activism. Achievement without God can produce success without meaning. The first leg, therefore, must remain firmly planted: Love God.But the first leg is not the whole journey.2. THE SECOND VOID: THE HUNGER FOR PURPOSEThe second commandment is inseparable from the first: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The God who draws us toward Himself eventually turns our eyes toward people. Genuine love for God must ultimately produce something beyond ourselves. God did not create you merely as someone who needs something from the world; He also created you carrying something the world needs from you.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our series, A Manifesto of Fruitfulness, teaching from Luke 8:4-15, the parable of the sower. Pastor Jon reminded us that Jesus describes one seed, scattered generously across every kind of ground. The variance wasn't the seed, but the soil. He named the four kinds soil could take: seed stolen before it can root, joy that springs up fast and withers under real pressure, a heart slowly choked by the decade-long apartment search, the co-op board interview, a city built to manufacture not-enough, until there's no margin left to notice God, and soil that receives the word, keeps it, and yields a hundred times what was sown, a harvest so disproportionate to the effort that it can only be received as gift. Jon closed with an invitation: not a program to complete, but a simple surrender of the soil itself. Lord, make us good soil.

FEATURING: Bob & Alice Fryling ORGANIZATION: Aging Faithfully: The Holy Invitation of Growing Older Breaking news: people are getting old! While aging may not be breaking news, talking honestly – and even laughing a little – about what it means to grow older can be surprisingly refreshing. Alice and Bob Fryling join Jim and Martha for a fun, candid conversation about aging faithfully, retirement, purpose, marriage and the ways God continues to use us in every season of life. Drawing from Alice's book Aging Faithfully and their own 55 years of marriage, ministry, career transitions and retirement, the Frylings share both the serious realities and the lighter moments of growing older. They explore the fear of losing abilities and identity, the difference between productivity and fruitfulness, and what it looks like to remain available to God's "holy invitations." Along the way, there's plenty of laughter, including some honest observations about retirement, racquetball, lunch dates, and even the challenges of serving on an HOA board. What you'll hear in the episode: Why aging can be such an uncomfortable topic, especially for Christians The fear of losing our ability to serve God in familiar ways Alice's journey from productivity to fruitfulness: the difference between accomplishing tasks and displaying the fruit of the Spirit How Bob's retirement challenged his identity and sense of purpose What it means to live with "holy invitations" and be available to what God brings in an ordinary day Why aging and retirement can look different in our 60s, 70s, and 80s How preparing practically for death can bring freedom and strengthen family relationships Bob's picture from Ezekiel 47 of going with the river and watching for where God brings healing, flourishing, and fruitfulness Growing older may change what we can do, but it doesn't mean our usefulness or purpose is over. In fact, as Alice and Bob's story shows, some of the most meaningful opportunities for fruitfulness may come when we're no longer trying to make them happen. Sometimes we simply need to stay available, follow God's lead – and enjoy the journey along the way! Enjoyed this episode?

After a short break, Jo, Chris and Alex are back for episode eight of the To Rome with Love series, and they open with a quick recap of chapters 1 to 6: the universal problem of sin, Israel's share in it despite having the law, faith as the way into right standing, the Adam and Christ contrast, and baptism as union with Christ's death and resurrection. They point out that chapter 7 has Paul coming back to something he raised briefly in chapter 5 and then left alone: the law's arrival made sin increase. They also flag that chapters 7 and 8 really belong together, and that verses 5 and 6 work almost as headings for the rest of chapter 7 and for chapter 8.Verses 1 to 6 start with the "which law?" question. One reading separates "works of the law" (the covenant markers like circumcision and purity) from "the law" as the whole Mosaic framework, ethical commands included. Another follows N.T. Wright's language of solidarities, where the law is a sphere you take part in, much like being "in Adam" or "in Christ", and Paul gives it an almost personal force. The marriage illustration gets unpacked against first-century practice, where only the husband could start a divorce, so a wife was bound until death. The team push back on reading every detail of the analogy as code. Is the husband sin and death, Christ, or the Adam life? The metaphor is probably doing several jobs at once, and the main point is that death releases you legitimately into a new covenant. Fruitfulness, the natural result of a marriage, becomes the image for what life with God produces, and the alternative is fruit for death. There's also a note of caution about sarx (flesh). Paul doesn't always mean "sinful nature" by it, and every translation choice is also an interpretation.The middle section (verses 7 to 12) takes on Paul's next mē genoito: is the law sin? The discussion separates "is the law sinful by nature?" from "does the law give sin an opening?" The law works as a diagnostic tool, holy and good in itself, and sin takes the opening it creates. The choice of "you shall not covet" is picked out as deliberate, because it's an entirely internal command and it follows naturally from the marriage illustration. There's a pastoral aside about how simply naming a sin from the pulpit can plant the idea. The team then wrestle with Schreiner's description of sin as an "alien power". Scripture personifies sin ("sin is crouching at your door") without making it Satan or a demon, and the team suggest sin works as much from inside us as from outside.That leads into the big question of who the "I" is. The options on the table are Paul himself (drawing on his own experience but not straight autobiography), Adam, Israel personified, or some mix that retells a universal story. They also cover the two readings most common in church life. The first is the pre-conversion reading linked to Origen and Augustine and later German scholarship. The second is the Christian's ongoing struggle, linked to the Lutheran and Reformation tradition. Philippians 3 ("as to righteousness under the law, blameless") is weighed against the chapter, and the team agree that being blameless before the law is not the same thing as being sinless.The final section (verses 13 to 25) covers the "I do not do what I want" passage. The problem isn't knowing what's right. It's approving of the right thing and still not being able to do it. The law is spiritual, but it provides no power to keep its own commands, and whatever you live under ends up filling you and showing in how you live. Paul switching between past and present tense is part of why the debate never settles. The team land on a representative reading with some personal element: this is "pre-Christ" more than "pre-Christian", Israel's story and Adam's story told in the first person, and they argue chapters 9 to 11 only make sense on that reading. It isn't only a Jewish experience either, because devotion to any moral code without transformation meets the same dead end. They close with Paul's use of classical rhetoric (logos, pathos and ethos). His "I" builds a connection with his listeners, and in a way that turns the usual rules upside down, admitting his own struggle becomes part of what makes him worth listening to.Resources mentioned in the episode: Tom Schreiner and Colin Kruse on Romans; Douglas Moo; Ernst Käsemann; N.T.

A healthy vineyard requires constant attention. The gardener carefully removes shoots that consume resources without producing fruit so the vine can flourish. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains how this picture from John 15 reveals God's loving work in the life of every believer.God is the gardener of your life. His pruning may sometimes feel painful, severe, or even wasteful, but He never cuts randomly. He removes what hinders spiritual growth—including selfishness, self-centeredness, and habits that keep us from becoming the people He created us to be.But pruning is only part of the process. Jesus calls us to abide in Him. Dr. Youssef reminds us that abiding means allowing God's Word to nourish, shape, and direct our lives—not merely accumulating Biblical knowledge, but making Scripture the foundation of our decisions and actions.Fruitfulness does not come apart from Christ, and greater fruit often comes through seasons of pruning. This devotional challenges you to consider the legacy of your life: Are your time, resources, talents, and gifts being used for God's glory? Ask the Father to prune whatever is necessary so your life will become a bountiful garden of Kingdom fruit.Pray with me.Lord, please prune me so I may produce fruit for You. I pray when the pruning becomes painful, I will trust in Your plan for my good and Your glory. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

The season of pruning and fruitfulness

New York disciples its people through ambition. Etched into the walls of Moynihan Train Hall, the newly renovated front door to the city, is a single word from the New York State seal: Excelsior. It's Latin for "ever upward," and while meant as civic pride showcasing New York's history of excellence, said honestly, in the context of most people's lives in the city, "ever upward" feels more like a mandate than a cheer. Most people here live pinned between two unsatisfying options—apathy or ambition—with both ending in defeat. Jesus offers a third way: fruitfulness. He makes the uncomfortable contrast between what a person produces and what a person's life produces in somebody else, and in turn, the Kingdom. Over eleven weeks, we will hear from Jon Tyson and other preachers about the 100x life God intends to cultivate in His disciples.

In John 15, Jesus continues His final teaching to the disciples with one of His most powerful “I AM” statements: “I am the true vine.” Jesus is the Vine, the Father is the Vinedresser, and we are the branches.In this message from The Beloved Gospel: Discourse, we explore what it means to live in union with Christ and remain connected to Him. The Father lovingly cultivates our lives through correction and pruning—not to harm us, but to position us for greater fruitfulness.Jesus reminds us that fruitfulness isn't something we manufacture through greater effort. Apart from Him, we can do nothing. As we abide in Christ, His life produces His fruit in us—answered prayer, obedience, joy, and love for one another.Fruitfulness is the consequence of remaining. The invitation of John 15 is to live delightfully connected to Jesus and allow His life to be expressed through ours.Support the show

Main Points 1. We cannot reject God and expect His continued blessings. 2. God will judge sin in His way and in His time. This sermon provides a verse-by-verse exposition of Hosea chapter nine, highlighting the severe consequences of Israel's persistent idolatry and spiritual adultery. The preacher explains how God withholds blessings and imposes exile as a just punishment for attributing prosperity to false gods rather than Him. Key themes include the futility of rejecting divine warnings and the certainty that God will judge sin according to His sovereign timing and justice. The message transitions from historical judgment to theological application, emphasizing that Christ has already borne the penalty for believers' sins. Finally, the sermon issues an urgent call to confession for believers and faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.

Pastor Andrew wraps up week 3 of our series on Fruitfulness, based on Luke 13:6-9. Tune in to hear teaching on Jesus' parable and what it means for us.

Fruitfulness after pruning

The sermon explores the opening narrative of 1 Samuel, using Hannah's barrenness as a metaphor for the spiritual bankruptcy of Israel during a dark historical period. It highlights how Hannah responded to her suffering not with complaint but by pouring out her heart in humble, selfless prayer at the tabernacle. Rev. Batzig emphasizes that God often initiates His greatest works through human obscurity and hopelessness, turning barrenness into fruitfulness for His kingdom's advancement. By connecting Hannah's story to the broader redemptive history leading to King David and ultimately Jesus Christ, the message encourages believers to trust in God's ability to bring life and purpose out of despair. The central call is for the church to seek spiritual vitality through earnest prayer and reliance on God's grace rather than human effort.

God often uses risks to bring life to others and to end long-standing fruitlessness in our lives. What would it look like to step out for the sake of Christ?

Pastor Andrew continues week 2 of our series on Fruitfulness, based on Luke 13:6-9. Tune in to hear teaching on Jesus' parable and what it means for us.

Pastor Will Plonk continues our series in Ecclesiastes. The human tendency to be consumed by self-consciousness and the desire to control uncontrollable future outcomes can steal our ability to actually walk with God today. God is calling for present faithfulness..."God does not command fruitfulness; He commands faithfulness. Fruitfulness is His job."

What does it truly mean to take up our cross and follow Christ? Are we disciples? Pillars? Beloved? Or merely part of the multitude or crowd? In this Bible study with Rev. Roland Anang, we continue our exploration of “Taking Up Our Cross for Fruitfulness as We Walk with Christ.” Jesus calls us beyond simply identifying as Christians to becoming committed disciples whose lives reflect His nature. We examine what it means to carry the cross daily through self-denial, surrender, obedience, perseverance, and commitment to Christ. True fruitfulness is not measured by possessions, popularity, achievements, or outward success, but by a life that reflects Jesus, glorifies God, and blesses others. The message challenges us to examine what we place before Christ—including our desires, relationships, careers, comfort, and personal ambitions—and to allow the cross to bring our will into submission to God's will. In this episode, we explore: What it means to be a true disciple of Christ Why fruitfulness goes beyond material success The connection between the cross, discipleship, and fruitfulness Self-denial as a requirement for following Jesus Putting Christ above relationships, career, desires, and personal interests Developing the character of Christ in our everyday lives Remaining faithful and persevering even in difficult seasons Moving from merely hearing God's Word to actually applying it

Fruitfulness: Abiding in the True Vine | John 15:1-17 | Andrew Johnson

God desires that we be fruitful in our walk with Christ—not merely successful by worldly standards, but fruitful in a way that reflects Jesus, glorifies God, and blesses others. In this message, Bra Kwesi leads us on an exploration of what it truly means to take up our cross and follow Jesus daily. Fruitfulness requires more than faith alone. We are called to add virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love to our faith. These qualities must become part of our nature as we grow in Christ. The message examines three dimensions of kingdom fruitfulness: Character fruit — becoming increasingly like Christ in our thoughts, attitudes, and conduct. Ministry fruit — allowing our lives and vocations to become instruments through which others are reconciled to Christ. Lifestyle fruit — demonstrating Christ in our relationships, workplaces, marriages, finances, and everyday interactions. We are reminded that kingdom fruitfulness is not about performance, numbers, popularity, or worldly success. It flows from abiding in Christ and yielding ourselves to God.   The ultimate goal is for the life of Jesus to become so evident in us that people encounter Christ through the way we live. God is glorified when we bear fruit.  

Pastor Andrew Schmidt starts our new series on Fruitfulness centered around Luke 13:6-9. Follow along as Andrew teaches on Jesus' parable and provides ways to participate in community.

What does true fruitfulness look like in the Kingdom of God? Is it simply success, wealth and achievement, or is there a deeper call? In this message, we are reminded that God delights in the fruitfulness of His children, but the path to lasting fruitfulness is the way of the Cross. We are challenged to examine our hearts, live with eternity in view, and pursue a life that reflects Christ in character, ministry and daily living.

We talk about the relationship between philosophy and science, the relationship between moral philosophy and moral psychology, and the relevance of science to ethics. We go through five dimensions of fruitfulness for normative concepts. We discuss whether the theory can be extended to non-normative concepts. We address objections and challenges to the theory. We discuss implications for the nature of moral motivation, implications for the duties to the global poor, and implications for the nature of justice in diverse multicultural societies. Finally, we talk about whether this theory can be brought together with traditional approaches in moral and political philosophy.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Romans 1 presents the Christian life as a wholehearted love for God that overflows into love for people. Paul begins with thanksgiving and prayer, reminding believers to intentionally encourage others by recognizing their faith instead of criticizing their faults. In a culture marked by isolation and distraction, these practices build genuine community and strengthen those who are faithfully following Christ, knowing that spiritual fruit often brings spiritual opposition. Paul also calls believers to live with generous, persistent love that gives more than it takes. Faithful friendships are marked by sacrifice, loyalty, and a refusal to give up on people, while the church's greatest obligation remains proclaiming Jesus above every competing priority. Thanksgiving, prayer, generosity, perseverance, and gospel witness work together to form a community that reflects Christ's love and advances His kingdom.
