In this sermon excerpt, the speaker defines faith as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of unseen realities, stressing that true faith requires action rather than mere belief. He argues that believers must produce spiritual fruit, critiquing the worldly mindset of hustling, grinding, and striving as ineffective for fruitfulness. Using the metaphor of a tree, he explains that fruit comes not from effort but from being planted by "streams of living water"—a divine source—emphasizing reliance on God for growth and productivity.

Chapters

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. You can talk about faith, you can conceptualize it, but there is a big difference when we actually take action on that faith. It's the actual— it's the critical component of it, because a lot of people believe in things, they believe in God, but where's the fruit? The scripture tells us that people will know us by our fruit, and if we're actually believers, we should be fruitful. I'm not even going to go into fruit, but actually I'm going to say this: a tree does not bear fruit by grinding, by hustling, by striving and toiling. And that was the philosophy of what I lived by. And I experienced what the world would call a decent amount of success, right? But a tree only bears fruit based upon where it's planted, right? By streams of living water. A tree can't do anything other than be a tree, and God's going to do the rest.
