Created for Fruitfulness (1 of 2)
Series: Bearing Fruit

Psalm 1:1-3
Psalm 1:1-3 (ESV)? 1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
The Bible is God's Word, and God's Word has a lot to say about bearing fruit...
I don't think we understand the emphasis, importance or reward that God views fruit...
Colossians 1:3-6 (ESV)? 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints,5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel,6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing-as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth,?Vs 4 Does our faith ''make a sound''?
Hebrews 11:1 (ESV) ?1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
- Expound on the ''sound'' that our church family is making in the community? The sound comes out of what we say AND Do
- Expound also on the LOVE (AGAPE) that makes a sound
Agape: Not a classical Greek word...but found in revealed religion...Faith-shaped the word agape
Translated=charity or benevolence
An action that does not do what a person desires, but what a person needs...
The kind of love that meets a need, not a desire...
For God so (agape) the world that He gave it what it needed, not what it desired...
''Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee''!
Paul wrote the there was a sound of the kind of love for the saints that was heard...
