“What Grows from the Pitt of Spiritual Fruit”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on February 22, 2026.
Continues the Surveying Deep Roots for New Seasons sermon series.
Covers Nehemiah 5: 1-13 and Acts 6: 1-7.
A lot of modern stories in culture highlight the tension from seemingly competing commitments, like making decisions for business sustainability at a hospital versus making them based on the ideal plan for care. Similar tensions have been a part of the life of the people of God as well - like apparent tensions between what people associate with the “spiritual” and what people associate with the “practical” and how our faith is supposed to operate in both. Salvation life that is generative and brings out the fruit of the spirit recognizes that our God of all creation holds both together, and so our faith and ministry is meant to as well.
