Title: Bearing Fruit for the Kingdom
Topic: Bearing Fruit or Being Plucked from the Vine

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge – Retired
with Truth for You Ministries (www.truthforyou.net/)

Part 1 of 3

Pastor Ed Ethridge discusses different aspects of Christian apologetics today: convicted vs converted, bearing fruit, the Holy Spirit, and leading your family in Biblical morals and values.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What does it mean to have just enough religion to be convicted but not converted? Pastor Ed references Acts 4:12 and a sermon he preached once entitled: “Religious but Lost”.

Are too many church-goers lukewarm Christians?

What does “fire-in-our-bellies” mean? Is this missing in many lives today?

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Bearing Fruit for the Kingdom
Topic: Bearing Fruit or Being Plucked from the Vine

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge – Retired
with Truth for You Ministries (www.truthforyou.net/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Does the Holy Spirit feed us, fill us, direct us, guide us, teach us, speak through us, and at times pray for us when we are at a loss for words? Pastor Ed says that the fruit can be as tiny as a raisin, but it’s still fruit!

How can Christians bear fruit? Is it just soul-winning? Or is it more than that?

Are we commanded to bear fruit? Pastor Ed says to live your life by the out-flow, not the in-flow.

Scripture References: Ephesians 4:30; Colossians 1:27; Galatians 5 and 6; Ephesian 5:18

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Bearing Fruit for the Kingdom
Topic: Bearing Fruit or Being Plucked from the Vine

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge – Retired
with Truth for You Ministries (www.truthforyou.net/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why is it so difficult to get people to volunteer and help within the walls of the church?

Pastor Ed admonishes listeners: “We are facing a battle right now. If the church doesn’t rise up, we are in deep trouble. We’re ALREADY in trouble! We need to rise up and stand up and be counted. Let’s get to work.”

The last part of Joshua 24:15 is familiar to most of us: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Why should this be the intention and prayer of every Christian?
