I Wish I'd Asked That: How Do We Bear Good Fruit?, Part 1

October 16, 2020

It may be that you're here because you feel your life isn't having the impact that you wish it would. You don't feel that you're fulfilling what you were made to do. In biblical terms, you're not bearing fruit—so how do we do that?

Free Resource | Does the Bible Promote Tolerance or Intolerance?
One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

Some of those who say they have never seen God have not actually been looking. The surest way not to find is not to seek at all. Even if you are not a Christian, we all need to come to this study with an open mind and consider that these things might indeed be true.

Sometimes when we're going through a difficult time, we wonder how we can know that the things we believe in because we are following Christ are all true. The way to find the truth is to ask questions. We as Christians have nothing to hide. We do have the truth, and we can examine it with all the questions we have, and it will survive.

Sixty-six percent of Americans think that belief in many different religions will get you into heaven. The more we come across people of other faiths and the more globalized our world is, the more we begin to think that truth is relative. This makes it harder for people to believe that Jesus is the only way to God.

When we think about Christian failure, we need to remember that the enemy is on the prowl. But these lessons teach us to fight the good fight, to resist the devil and he will flee from us. While we may be disappointed in a leader who has failed, Jesus teaches us here how to handle that and how to take responsibility for our own lives.

Christians have often been accused of wasting this life with their fixation on the next. In reality, it is almost impossible to enjoy this life when uncertainty looms about the next.

The first message in this new series teaches about Peter, David, Moses, and others—great leaders, but men who messed up. Humility saves and arrogance kills. We need to be careful and remember that "There by the grace of God go I."

Why would someone go out of his or her way to visit a sick person or mentor someone they don't know? We need to turn this on its head and instead of asking, "What's the return on my investment?" ask "How am I going to invest for God's glory and the good of others?" That is the heart of the Christian life.

Jesus said, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another." What is new about this? Surely we've heard this before! Even the Beatles say, "All you need is love."

Jesus did not die for the innocent victim. Here John says, "And it was night." You will never understand or appreciate the cross unless you grasp the full depth of the darkness of your night.

Here we see the real humanity of Jesus—he was troubled in spirit. When we consider the betrayal that Jesus went through, it helps us appreciate in a deeper way just what a great Savior He is.
