Lay the Axe to the Root by Pastor Brett Smith

The sermon is focused on the need for followers of Jesus to actively cultivate their spiritual lives by removing 'trees' of sin, lies or other obstacles not bearing good fruit. In Genesis the story of Adam's silence enabling deception in the Garden of Eden, contrasting it with Jesus' authority and truth-telling. The Lord is using Hs church to wake up, judge themselves, speak truth, agree with God's Word, and reconcile the world through compassion.
