220:Tables, Children and Tree's | Wes Hodgson

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of genuine faith and the fruit it produces in our lives during Lent.

What will the fruit of your life be? This Lent, we're challenged to look beyond appearances and examine what's really growing in our hearts.Jesus didn't just flip tables in the temple—He exposed the difference between religious performance and genuine faith. Like a fig tree full of leaves but bearing no fruit, we can look spiritually healthy on the outside while remaining empty within. But Christ calls us deeper. He asks: Is your life producing the fruit of love for God and others, or just selfishness? Praise and gratitude, or bitterness? Genuine faith, or just the appearance of it?The good news? Jesus said in John 15 that when we remain connected to Him, we WILL bear much fruit. Apart from Him, we can do nothing. This Lent, let's stay rooted in the Vine and allow His life to flow through us, producing fruit that lasts.
