This midweek message unfolds Isaiah’s parable of the vineyard, showing how God fenced, cleared, planted, protected, and prepared His people with every intention of producing good fruit, yet they brought forth wild, poisonous grapes through rejection of Jesus and refusal to walk in His way. Brother Jesse warns that modern society is deeply religious yet spiritually blind, embracing God and even “a Christ” while rejecting Jesus’ actual path of obedience, repentance, and self-denial. He urges believers to be doers of the Word, to guard against false doctrine and emotional deception, to cling to Scripture as settled truth, and to recognize that rejecting Jesus—His way, His commands, His authority—is what destroys nations, churches, and souls.
