Are You Dead or Alive? | Deep Roots Real Fruit - The Gospel

August 13, 2026 · 20 min

About this episode

The episode explores how true Christian growth comes from being rooted in Christ rather than through personal effort.

How do you grow as a Christian? Can you become a better person just by trying harder? The Bible's answer might surprise you. Before it talks about growing good fruit in our lives, it says something far more confronting: dead things don't produce fruit. In the first talk of our new Deep Roots, Real Fruit series, we explore the heart of the gospel. Looking at Ephesians 2 , John 15 , and Galatians 5 , we see that Christianity isn't about making ourselves better. It's about Jesus bringing dead people back to life. Only then does lasting change begin. Real fruit doesn't come from trying harder. It grows naturally in people who are deeply rooted in Christ.
