Two Houses

Similarities: All houses face storms; Everyone is building; Building any house is lot of work; Both hear what Jesus said.

One builds on what Jesus said and who He is, one does not.

Why are you: Doing it; Saying it; Singing it; Thinking it; Wanting it; Praying it; Needing it?...

Who or What are you: Depending on; Trusting in; Trying to impress; Nervous about; Real honest with; Intimidated by?...

Admit
Repent
Create change

Two Trees  
 
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
 
Life and Message
 
Patience. Fruit only comes one season per year, wait for it.
 
The inward can be hidden until people begin to do something, to produce something, then it can be seen.
 
Beware of pretending. Imitating a Spirit filled, fruitful life.
 
To produce good fruit a tree must give of itself. Selfishness and self-centeredness are key to being unfruitful.
 
Oswald Chambers, “Pious pretense is a desperately sincere effort to be right when we know we are not.”
