Philippians 4:9-13 Fruit Comes From a Garden, Not a FactoryBible
Pastor David McGee
Date Taught: March 3, 2019
The Bible starts in a garden, the Bible ends in a garden, and the most important point in the middle is... in a garden.
We are to grow spiritual fruit in our lives, not be spiritual fruits.
As believers we are each supposed to be individually producing spiritual fruit. We are to be growing spiritual fruit.
God can make fruit without man, man cannot make fruit without God.
When the Bible says we can do all things through Christ Jesus, it measures our capabilities, by God’s abilities.
When we give or serve together, we earn eternal, heavenly rewards. We take something temporary like finances, or our efforts, and God uses something temporary, to make an eternal impact.
God gives us the ability to work together, so our lives can have an eternal impact in this world.
God wants to show His love toward a lost and dying world, by showing them our love for God by serving Him, and our love for one another, by serving one another.
