How many of you have a junk drawer at home – a place that has become a storage place for things you can’t find somewhere else to keep? • Jesus talks about the things we store up in our heart.
According to Jesus, the things we store up in our hearts start to grow and push through to the surface of our lives through our words and our actions. • This crowd of people is spiritually hungry, starving for words of hope and truth.
Jesus was saying every life bears fruit. • Your character is contagious. • Followers of Jesus are called to live a fruitful life, and Jesus defines it pretty clearly for us.
Jesus says, “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit - - fruit that will last…” (John 15:16) • What you store up in your heart determines your fruit – the impact of your life.
Who knows how many people will be spiritually fed by the “fruit” we produce?
