What Are You Producing?

Sep 30, 2026  •  Pastor Steven Pettis Jr

What does your life actually produce? James reminds us that godly wisdom cannot remain something we simply know or claim; it becomes visible in the way we live. Our words, habits, relationships, and responses reveal what is shaping us on the inside. Spiritual maturity isn't measured merely by how long we've been in church or how much Scripture we know, but by the fruit God's truth is increasingly producing in our lives. 


As we continue The War Within, we'll examine the difference between simply possessing biblical knowledge and allowing that truth to shape our walk. The good news is that Christianity isn't about trying harder to manufacture better fruit. God gives us new life through Jesus Christ, and by His Spirit that new life increasingly produces obedience, wisdom, and Christlike fruit. Because when Christ changes the life within us, the evidence eventually becomes visible through the life coming out of us.
