Fruit Not Optional
In Luke 13:6–9, Jesus tells a sobering story about a tree that had everything it needed, including time, care, and opportunity. Yet it still produced no fruit. It’s a reminder that God’s patience is real, but it is not endless. Each of us has been given time, not to waste, but to respond. God desires more than proximity or good intentions. He looks for lives that show evidence of real change. This message invites us to examine what our lives are producing and to consider what we are doing with the time we’ve been given.
