Fruitful, Vibrant, and Flourishing

Aug 26, 2023    Pastor Craig

You can experience a real, fruitful, vibrant, and flourishing life through Jesus.

 The Fig Tree : outwardly fruitless, inwardly dead and withered at the roots

 The Temple: outwardly fruitless, inwardly dead and withered at the roots

(Mat 5:17)

 The Cross: a new and living way so that anyone can be … fruitful,

vibrant and flourishing

(Heb 10:19-22)

 You can be outwardly fruitful by prayer, sacrifice and forgiveness towards other

people.

(Gal 5:22-23)

 You can be inwardly vibrant with bold faith in God.

(1 Cor 6:19)

 You can be flourishing at the roots because you belong to your heavenly Father.

(2 Cor 6:16)

Lord Jesus, I invite You to come closer right now. I invite You to check me out for fruit and vibrancy and flourishing. Show me any places that are blocking Your life in me. 

I admit that ____________. Please forgive me and help me.

Lord Jesus, I want to be fruitful, vibrant and flourishing at the roots for You. Father God, Let this be true of each of us and of this whole group of people who call Heartland home. Lord, we heed Your warning and Your invitation. We turn to You by faith.
