Deeper the Root Sweeter the Fruit

Aug 31, 2025    Pastor Alfonza Scott

In this powerful message, we're challenged to consider the depth of our spiritual roots and the quality of the fruit we bear in our lives. The central theme revolves around the idea that 'deeper the root, sweeter the fruit,' drawing from Isaiah 37:30-31. This scripture speaks of God's promise of provision and growth, even in challenging times. We're asked to reflect on a profound question: If we could only eat what we plant spiritually, would we be full or hungry? This metaphor urges us to examine the quality and quantity of our spiritual investments. The message draws parallels between farming and our faith journey, emphasizing that just as farmers anticipate a bountiful harvest after a productive spring, we too should expect spiritual growth when we cultivate our relationship with God. It reminds us that our spiritual fruit is not just for our own nourishment, but to inspire and induce others to grow in their faith as well.
