CATERPILLARS || BIBLE-BASED TEACHING || SEPTEMBER 13, 2026

Not everything that destroys comes with a loud warning. Sometimes, the greatest damage begins with something small, unnoticed, and tolerated. In Song of Solomon 2:15 (KJV), Scripture warns us about “the little foxes, that spoil the vines.” In Joel 1:4, we also encounter the caterpillar—small in appearance, yet capable of consuming what is growing. In this powerful Bible-based teaching, “The Caterpillars,” we examine the seemingly small habits, attitudes, compromises, distractions, offences, and neglected areas that can quietly consume our spiritual strength, relationships, peace, purpose, and fruitfulness. What is God growing in your life? What are your “tender grapes”? And what caterpillar have you allowed to remain on your vine? This message will challenge you to identify the little things, inspect your vine, protect what God is growing, and deal with destructive influences before they cause greater damage. And there is good news: even where damage has already occurred, God is still the God of restoration. Anchor Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:15 (KJV) Supporting Scripture: Joel 1:4; Joel 2:25 (KJV) Catch the little foxes. Remove the caterpillars. Protect the tender grapes. Guard your vine. And trust God to restore what has been eaten.
