We discussed the topic of "New Fruit" and what it means to live a fruitful life. In the book of Matthew (Chapter 13:1-23) there is the story of the farmer that went to plant his seeds, and we used this story to guide the lesson. Here are some of the bullet points from the teaching.
-
The path for a fruitful life is HEARING AND UNDERSTANDING God’s Word
-
Fruit is our IDENTITY (Matthew 7:20).
-
Fruit is seen in our ACTIONS (Matthew 7:16).
Make a commitment to OBEY God’s way (Jeremiah 17:7-8).
As I reflect on this series I am so thankful for God's guidance during this month. I feel this was the perfect series for our group to start off the new year. Over the last four weeks I have seen growth among many students in our group, and for the rest I have seen them begin to ask questions about their faith and their relationship with God on a daily basis. My prayer is that God will continue to inject his spirit into our group and provide us with guidance as we grow from seeds into fully grown followers of Christ.
