Matt Romano–What does it truly mean to bear fruit that lasts? Using the story of the fig tree, we will uncover that fruitfulness is not about performance, busyness, or appearances; it grows out of a surrendered heart and a life aligned with God.

Fruit that lasts is life-giving: it heals, restores, reconciles, and leaves a lasting impact. It takes time, patience, and inward transformation. When our private formation shapes our public expression, God’s life flows through us in ways the world can see.

We’ll unpack how Jesus uses the fig tree as a mirror for our lives, exposing empty appearances and calling us to die to ego, agendas, and shortcuts so that real, lasting fruit can emerge.

This is a call to stop chasing leaves and start cultivating a life that produces fruit that truly matters, for our families, our communities, and the Kingdom of God.
