Am I Really In Control? | Deep Roots, Real Fruit - Self-control
What controls you?
In week 5 of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we start looking at what spiritual growth actually produces in the life of a Christian - beginning with the real fruit of self-control.
In Galatians 5:13-17 we see that Jesus came to free us from being controlled by our sinful desires so that we can live by the Spirit and choose to love God and others.
But, what does that look like when you really want to keep scrolling? When you want to send the angry message? When you want to fit in with the crowd, or get your own way?
In this episode, we explore what self-control looks like in te life of a Christian. Surprisingly, it's not so much about becoming really good at controlling yourself. Instead, It's about letting Jesus be in charge and discovering the freedom that only He brings.

Can I Be A Christian Without Church? | Deep Roots, Real Fruit - Church
Can you really follow Jesus on your own?
In this week of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we look at church - not as a building or an institution, but as God’s people gathering together. From Hebrews 10:24-25, we see that Christians aren't meant to do life or faith alone. God grows his people as we encourage, challenge and spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
But why do we need other Christians? And what happens when we decide we don't need church?
We explore how God has made us relational beings, why the Bible describes the church as a body with many different parts, and why our differences aren't a problem to overcome but a gift from God. You need the church - and the church, perhaps, needs you.
Church isn't about finding a bunch of people who are just like you.
It's about gathering around Jesus with people who aren't.

Why Should I Pray? | Deep Roots, Real Fruit - Prayer
In this episode of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we look at prayer - what it actually is, why Christians pray, and how Jesus teaches us to pray in Matthew 6. Prayer isn't about using the right words, impressing God, or treating him like a vending machine. It's about talking with our Father and growing in our relationship with him.
We explore the Lord’s Prayer and how Jesus teaches us to put God, His name, His kingdom and His will first. We also look at some of the reasons we struggle to pray, from doubt and distraction to thinking we can handle life on our own.
If God has spoken to us through His Word, prayer is our chance to respond.
