Pastor Byers imagines interviewing biblical heroes like Abraham, Samuel, and Moses to discover what God values. Surprisingly, none of them accomplished what modern Christians consider “great ministry.” Abraham raised one son, Samuel rarely traveled, and Moses died in the wilderness. Even Jesus appeared to fail in His earthly ministry, dying rejected and alone. Pastor Byers asserts that God values friendship, obedience, and love far more than outward success. The Church fails in evangelism because it seeks fruit without first developing the fruit of the Spirit. Spiritual children are born from intimacy with Christ, not human effort. The Ephesian church lost its first love despite great works. The primary fruit God seeks is love, the foundation of all spiritual fruit.
