I. Faithful Trust: A Fruitful Life (Luke 13:6-9)

He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’ But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.’ ”

1. God’s Patience and Expectation
2. The Warning Against Wasted Grace
3. Jesus’ Intercession and Grace

II. Faithful Trust: Strength from God’s Word (Psalm 1:2-3)

But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

1. A Life Planted by Streams of Water
2. Spiritual Nourishment: Digging and Fertilizing

III. Faithful Trust: Peace and Victory in Challenges (John 16:33)

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

1. Jesus Has Overcome the World
2. Peaceful and Steadfast Hearts Are the Foundation of Fruitfulness
3. The Light of Kislev’s Promise

Kislev signifies moving from darkness to light, reminding us that even in our hardest moments, God’s promises remain our hope, leading us to victory.

Challenge and Action

• Reflection: Is your life bearing spiritual fruit? Are there areas that need pruning or renewal?
• Practice: Meditate on God’s Word daily and entrust your challenges to Jesus.
• Persevere: In times of darkness, hold fast to faith, trusting that God’s light and promises will bring victory.
