Sermon: “A Tree and It’s Fruit” from Joseph Wasson

Joseph Wasson - December 28, 2025

A Tree and It's Fruit

On Christmas Eve, Pastor Marc shared Jesus’ teaching on the wide and narrow gates. The path to life is narrow and few find it—only through Jesus Christ can we be saved. There are popular, yet dangerous, teachings in our world such as how all paths lead to God. These teachings are false. Today, we will look at how false prophets use teachings like these to try to lead other down the wide path to destruction. We will also look at how false disciples deceive themselves with a false sense of salvation, believing they are on the narrow path when they are not. We will learn to recognize deception, avoid false prophets, and find our salvation in Christ alone.

“Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them saying...” [Matthew 5:1-2] What follows is the greatest sermon ever preached by the greatest preacher who ever lived. In it, Jesus teaches us what it means to follow Him as His fully devoted disciples. He teaches us about selflessness, humility, and what it means to seek God’s righteousness. He tells us how to live for Him in a fallen world. He gives us the Beatitudes to live by, and so much more. Join us for this transformative study of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.
