This was my first time attending Union City Church, and it was truly a blessing! Three things really spoke to me during this message: "The character of the fruit is very telling of which branch you are connected to." Am I producing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control? Or am I bearing fruit that glorifies the world and reflects an innate sinful nature? Not all growth is good growth. We have to trust God to produce quality fruit over a large quantity of fruit. God's pruning is not a testament to punishment but to potential! All we have to do as believers is trust His sovereign plan for our lives and continue to surrender to Him daily. "Fruitfulness is a byproduct of faithfulness." As we continue to press into Christ, we will increasingly reflect His characteristics and glory-not solely for ourselves, but so the people around us can see the glory of God through us.
Matthew, we are so blessed that you attended UCC and that the word of God spoke to you that day! Thank you for your thoughtful comment as well & highlighting some great parts in the message! We hope to see you again! 🙏🏽
