The Legacy Of Fruit,
When we think of legacy, we often think about what we leave behind—money, heirlooms, even that favorite Jeep your kids are already calling dibs on. But what if the most important legacy isn’t something you can box up?
In Luke 13, Jesus tells a story about a fruitless fig tree. It’s a reminder that our lives are supposed to bear fruit—not fame, not followers—but love, patience, kindness. The kind of fruit people remember long after we’re gone.
Pastor Chad shared a moment that hit deep. After his wife Melissa passed, he looked at boxes filled with 31 years of belongings—and realized that “the most important things in life aren’t things.”
What people remembered most? Her kindness. Her smile. Her presence. That’s legacy.
The Holy Spirit isn’t asking for perfection—He’s inviting us to grow. And growth sometimes looks like manure. It looks like hard things, heartbreaks, and messes we don’t want. But those places? That’s where God does His best work.
So the real question is this:
What are you leaving behind?
Because your legacy isn’t what you saved—it’s how you served. It’s how you loved. And there’s still time to dig deep and bear something beautiful.
