Are You Producing Good Fruit?

Last week, Serena bought some fresh corn, tomatoes, and melon at a farmer’s market. The melon looked great on the outside but, when we cut it, we discovered that the inside was beginning to rot. As my disappointment sank in, I began to think…I don’t ever recall seeing what appeared to be a rotten fruit or vegetable on the outside that turned out to be great on the inside. Yet, on occasion, we are tricked by a “good” outside and then find the inside doesn’t live up to our expectations!

We are wrapping up our summer series by looking at the passage of scripture where Jesus says, “Good trees produce good fruit while bad trees produce bad fruit.” How do we avoid being “tricked” in life and how do we make sure we’re producing the best possible fruit in our own lives? What should we look for in others and what do we need to work on ourselves? Come and find out this weekend!

See you soon,

Be a Part of Something Bigger Than Yourself...

This weekend is a “Praise & Worship" experience at Cypress, unlike anything we have done before.   There are a variety of elements planned to help us engage Christ through experiential worship.   Francis Chan described the opportunity for worship when he wrote, “Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate? His perfect holiness, by definition, assures us that our words alone can't contain Him.”   I’ve often said music speaks directly to the soul.   If this is true, worship through music helps us experience and express ourselves to God.

Be encouraged…
Be a part of something bigger than yourself…
Be a life bridge by inviting and bringing a friend…
Be here for the experience…

See you soon,
Pastor Ken
