https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260315dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. Ephesians 5:8-11 Light in the Lord If you get up early to go outside and wait for the sunrise, you know what it’s like to sit in darkness. Until the light comes, you can’t see anything because the darkness hides things, obscures things, and makes things impossible to see. But then, just as you think the darkness couldn’t get any deeper, you finally see it. The horizon begins to brighten in the east, and dawn begins to break. The sun begins its ascent into the sky, and its light is now cast all around you. It’s a total transformation! Everything you couldn’t see before is now visible. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). Just as the sun breaks the darkness of the earth when it rises in the east each morning, Jesus has also broken the spiritual darkness that once covered our world and our lives. Oh, what an impact this has on every single day of your life! In the darkness, you can’t see. But in the light, you can! In the darkness, you can’t function. But in the light, you can! Now, you can live as a child of the light. It’s a total transformation! “Fruitless deeds of darkness” aren’t a part of who you are anymore because “You are light in the Lord.” Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Light of the world, and you have made me light by bringing me into the light of your forgiveness, mercy, and love. Bless and keep me always as you give me the strength to now live like who I am by faith in you, my Savior. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

This week on Consider This, Justin Ebert sits down with Morgan Weece and Ryan Vincent to explore Deuteronomy 18–34 and Mark 11–12. From the promise of a prophet like Moses to Moses' final blessing and death, they unpack the closing chapters of Deuteronomy and their significance. In Mark, they will break down questions that arise from Jesus flipping tables in the temple, the cursing of the fig tree, and sacrificial living.

In Mark 11:12–25, Jesus curses a fig tree, drives from the temple and speaks words of warning rather than comfort. These signs expose a serious danger: a faith that looks alive on the outside but bears no fruit. As Jesus confronts fruitless religion and corrupted worship, He calls His people to be rooted in Him, not in religious activity or appearances, and be marked by faith, prayer and forgiveness.

Fruit or Fruitless

Fruitful or Fruitless is a challenging message calling believers to examine their hearts and lives. Jesus makes it clear—true faith produces fruit. This sermon asks a vital question: are we bearing fruit for God, or resisting His purpose?

Sermon: 主咒詛不結果的無花果樹合理嗎? Is it Reasonable for the Lord to Curse the Fruitless Fig Tree? Series: 神完美的僕人 God's Perfect Servant Speaker: 張國強牧師 Rev. Jeremiah Cheung Scripture: 馬可福音 Mark 11:12-26 Translated to English by Deacon Daniel Go 雖然當時並非季節，耶穌卻因一棵無果的無花果樹深感失望，甚至咒詛了它，致使樹木隔日枯萎。耶穌如此行事是否合理？本週日，張國強牧師將探討耶穌如何將無花果樹與聖殿的使命相連結，並闡明此連結如何關乎教會在成就神旨意中的角色。 Although it was not in season, Jesus was so disappointed that a fig tree was fruitless that He cursed it and it withered the next day. Was it reasonable for Jesus to do this? This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung explores how Jesus connected the fig tree to the purpose of the Temple and how this connection also relates to the role of the church in fulfilling God's mission.

Today's episode is a punch in the gut to passive Christianity. Paul M. Neuberger calls out one of the Church's most dangerous phrases—“God wins in the end”—and exposes it for what it's become: a spiritual snooze button. We're not called to be spectators. We're called to be warriors. Comfortable faith? Dead faith. Silent faith? Fruitless faith.The cost of inaction? Souls lost. Churches weakened. Families drifting. Christ isn't looking for secret admirers. He's raising up obedient soldiers.Jesus is still Lord. His victory is certain. But what will YOU do before the clock runs out? When your moment of truth arrives, will you speak up or clock out?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in Scripture. "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." –James 2:17 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?" –Matthew 25:26. "But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,' and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk." –Luke 12:45Episode Highlights:01:14 – And somewhere along the way, ‘God wins in the end' stopped being fuel for obedience and became permission for apathy. It becomes the sentence that Christians use to emotionally disengage when culture collapses, when sin spreads, and when obedience feels uncomfortable. Instead of urgency, it produces indifference. Instead of courage, it creates silence. Instead of action, it justifies delay. And let me be clear, that's not faith. That's spiritual laziness disguised as theology. And boy howdy, does Satan ever love it.17:07 – When Christians choose to do nothing, the consequences aren't hypothetical. They're immediate, measurable, and devastating. Inaction doesn't preserve the status quo, it accelerates decay. When believers stay quiet, sin doesn't pause, it advances. Scripture never treats passivity as harmless. In fact, it treats it as dangerous disobedience. God doesn't judge his people only for what they do wrong, but also for what they refuse to do right. One of the most sobering examples comes from Jesus himself.29:40 – It's a command. Jesus didn't gather his disciples after the resurrection to offer encouragement. He issued marching orders. Matthew, chapter 28, verses 19 through 20, records it clearly when it says this, ‘Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.' There is no fine print. There is no exemption clause. There is no version that says unless it makes you uncomfortable.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

In this episode of Unwritten, Trevor Barreca sits down with Melissa Sartori, who shares a quiet but powerful story of how God works long before we ever see the fruit.While serving on a small Catholic campus in the Northeast, he was tasked with reaching student athletes — a group that made up nearly a quarter of the entire student body. Many were open, curious, and eager. But one athlete, Caitlyn, always stayed just out of reach: friendly, kind, smiling… yet never willing to go deeper.Despite little visible progress, she never left his prayers. And then, on a cold November night — with plans canceled and Thanksgiving break hours away — everything changed.In This Episode You'll Hear:

This is the seventh installment of that show-within-a-show, featuring Chris Barker and Jake the Lawyer, where we read all those nonfiction books we've been meaning to read. Today's episode is about The Invention of Decolonization: The Algerian War and the Remaking of France by Todd Shepard, a dense, academic look at the confusing constitutional crisis France experienced in the wake of Algerian independence. Join us as we discuss France's strange attempt to deny that Algeria was a colony, the racial implications of that denial, and how Charles de Gaulle used the crisis for his own political aims.Become a Fruitless Patron here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=11922141Check out Fruitless on YouTubeFind more of Josiah's work: https://linktr.ee/josiahwsuttonFollow Josiah on Twitter @josiahwsuttonMusic & Audio creditsYesterday – bloom.Mao Boy - Indochine ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

There seems to be a growing normalization of things like New Age spirituality, charms and crystals, Tarot card readings, psychics, neo-paganism, and witchcraft. As more young people identify as “nones,” it invites the opportunity for them to seek after such things. Yet the Bible is clear that we should have nothing to do with these fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them. We are to be light in the world, sharing the truth of God's Word.

Minority in Parliament has criticized the Government and the Attorney General for what it describes as empty rhetoric and a waste of everyone's time.

Tap here to send us a message!God saves each of us to live fully productive lives and to bear the fruit of the Spirit. Fruitlessness can creep in when we cling to the flesh, stay in the wrong environment, resist correction, or miss the seasons God has for us. When we learn to navigate these challenges, a life that once seemed barren can burst forth with purpose and divine productivity.10/12/2025 - Sunday AfternoonScriptures:Luke 13:6-9John 12:24Psalm 1:1-3John 15:4-6John 15:2Hebrews 12:11Revelation 22:2I Corinthians 9:7

Christianity isn't about trying harder; it's about staying connected to Jesus. In this sermon, we're reminded that when we remain in Jesus, the Spirit produces fruit through us.   Dr. Aaron Cole

Fruitless and heartless complaints, bemoanings of themselves and their condition, is the substance of the profession that some make. If they can object against themselves, and form complaints out of their conditions, they suppose they have done their duty. I have known some who have spent a good part of their time in going up and down from one to another with their objections and complaints. These things are contrary to the life of faith.

Peter remembered [the fig tree] and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!” — Mark 11:21 There's a small tree in our yard that needs to be removed because of its inconvenient location. It seems a shame to chop it down, though. When Peter noticed a tree that was withered because Jesus had cursed it, he expressed his surprise. Peter's surprise is not surprising. Why, indeed, would Jesus—who cares for children, feeds the hungry, and heals the sick—kill a poor little fig tree? The key to understanding this puzzle has to do with what happens after Jesus first sees the tree and when he sees it again. After cursing the tree, Jesus and the disciples enter Jerusalem and go into the temple courts. There, to his dismay, Jesus finds a bustling market filled with merchants hawking sacrificial animals for profit. With some of the harshest words that he ever says, Jesus drives out the merchants and money changers for turning God's temple into “a den of robbers.” And the withered tree that they see the next day illustrates Jesus' point: Fruitless faith is no faith at all. Through the sacrifice of Jesus' death and resurrection, all who turn to Jesus are made right with God. And with this new life God wants us to do the good works he has already prepared for us to do (Ephesians 2:10). If we fail to do them, we will be acting like that fig tree, withered and producing no fruit. Jesus, you have made us to be like trees planted beside the waters of eternal life. Make us fruitful, producing the fruit of righteousness for your glory. Amen.

HT2295 - The Fruitless Search for Perfection Artmaking by definition (especially in photography) seems to be the search for perfection. Perfection, like a perpetual motion machine, is an illusion — one might even call it a sickness. If the perfect isn't the goal, what is? Words that come to mind are immersion, connection, harmony, awareness. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!
