Summary
The speaker uses the metaphor of an apple orchard to illustrate that Christian life requires continually gathering 'apples' of faith from God's Word, moving beyond mere initial faith. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth involves cultivating a sensitive heart to hear the Holy Spirit's convicting word and resisting the poison of pride, which can be countered through self-humbling before the Lord. Ultimately, the message stresses that grace is essential for overcoming sin and that faith must be continually replenished.
Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
From faith to faithThe righteous shall live by faith, growing daily as we receive new measures of faith rather than remaining stagnant with just our initial salvation.Romans 1:17
Longing for a sensitive conscienceWe should desire a sensitive heart and ear to immediately obey the Lord's promptings and notice the stop signs in His word.
Guarding against pride and choosing humilityWe must resist the devil's poison of pride and choose to humble ourselves in every situation to receive God's grace.
Option one: Humble yourselvesThe best choice is to recognize our pride when we lack grace and voluntarily humble ourselves before the Lord.James 4:10
Option two and three: Warnings and circumstancesIf we do not choose humility, God gives warnings like he did to King Nebuchadnezzar, and finally humbles us through difficult circumstances if necessary.
The desperate cries of those who came to JesusDuring His earthly ministry, people like lepers and blind beggars cried out to Jesus with deep need and faith for mercy.Matthew 11:5
Jesus our Savior from sinWhile people in the old covenant sought physical healing, Jesus ultimately came with the primary mission to save His people from their sins.Matthew 1:21
Finding God through wholehearted seekingThe Lord is not partial and will certainly meet anyone who searches for Him with a sincere, hungry, and honest heart.
