Made to Bear Fruit

by Tripp Prince

“A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.” Luke 13:6
Throughout the Bible, God’s people (Israel) are often referred to as a vineyard. This image can be found in both the Old and New Testaments where the consistent message linked to this image is that healthy vineyards bear fruit! When a vineyard is true to its design and purpose, it overflows with life and fruitful production. On the other hand, when they fail to bear fruit, they have rejected their purpose, their mission, and their design.

Relief Efforts for Fiji

Cyclone Winston hit the islands of Taveuni, Vanua Levu, and Viti Levu. This cyclone was a category 5 hurricane, which is the strongest on record to hit the Fiji Islands with sustained winds up to 185 miles an hour. Three congregations of the Lord’s church were in the direct path of this devastating hurricane: Nabowalu, Buca, and Vatudamu. Nabowalu and Vatudamu are right on the water with many of the brethren’s homes within yards of the water. Please keep these brethren in your prayers!
