"Your Actions Are Speaking So Loudly, I Can't Hear What You're Saying!"

We've all heard that phrase before. But one reason that phrase may be popular, is that is just may be the truth. Did you know that the Bible has a lot to say about your actions as well? Jesus talked about your actions being a lot like 'fruit'. When you grow an apple tree, the fruit you'll find is apples. When you grow an orange tree, the fruit you'll find is oranges. When you grow a Christian, what kind of fruit will you find? The Bible says the fruit you should find is the "fruit of the Spirit".

Your actions speak clearly about where your heart is. I want to encourage you today to check out your actions. Are you being loving? Are you being honest? Are you conscience about your walk with Jesus? We're in the middle of a very good teaching series and this weekend we will be talking about how your actions reveal a lot about your walk with Jesus.

Join us this weekend as we look at what you do and why you do it!

Blessings,

Pastor Virgil
