Your Fruit Doesn’t Lie // Lord Of All // 05.03.26
In this message, we dive into Matthew 12:33–37 and uncover a powerful truth: our words are not accidents—they are evidence of what’s in our hearts. Jesus teaches that our “fruit” reveals our “root,” and that what comes out of us under pressure reflects what’s already within us. This message challenges us to move beyond managing appearances and instead pursue true heart transformation through Christ. What kind of fruit is your life producing?

Discussion Questions – 05.03.26
1. Jesus talks about our words being connected to what’s going on in our hearts… how do you feel about that? Does that resonate with you, or is that something you wrestle with a bit?
2. Charlie mentioned that “test” with real-life moments like driving, conflict, or just being exhausted…
when those kinds of situations come up for you, what do you notice tends to come out first?
3. If you took a step back and looked at your life lately, your reactions, words, attitudes, what kind of “fruit” do you feel like you’ve been producing?
4. We talked about not just changing behavior, but letting God change our hearts…
is there an area in your life where you feel like God might be nudging you in that direction?
5. The question at the end of the message was “what are you feeding your heart? What do you think about that? What are some things lately that might be shaping you more than you realize?
6. Looking ahead to this week, is there one small, practical change you feel like you could make to create a healthier environment for yourself?
7. As a group, how can we show up for each other better in this like supporting one another as we try to grow and be transformed?
