2. Growing Deeper & Going Further In order for us to go further and make this greater impact, we must first grow deeper in our faith and become more focused… This requires “abiding and pruning”…

2. Growing Deeper & Going Further “Fruit” in the Bible generally means the product/results of our lives, most often it is referring specifically to: 1.Growth in Christ-like character (fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22-23) (fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22-23) 2. Leading people to salvation (Rom 1:13-15) 3. Positive results of our ministry service (Col 1:10) Abide/Remain in Christ with devoted times, daily moments, and interdependent Relationships!

2. Growing Deeper & Going Further Do we see abiding/remaining in Christ as a “luxury we can’t afford” or a “necessity we can’t neglect”?

2. Growing Deeper & Going Further Roles & Responsibilities John 15:1-4 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vineyard keeper. Every branch in Me that does not produce fruit He removes, and He prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.

“No matter how easy a task, if it is not God's will, we must not do it. No matter how hard a task, if it is God's will, we must do it. No matter how large a task, if it is not God's will, we must not do it. No matter how small a task, if it is God's will, we must do it. (continue next slide)

Our energy, money, and time are limited. Therefor, we must focus on whatever is worthwhile in God's eyes, whatever is worthwhile in God's eyes, whatever is meaningful for God's kingdom, whatever is meaningful for God's kingdom, whatever is beneficial to God's church. whatever is beneficial to God's church. We must learn to serve with faithfulness, serve with faithfulness, serve with purpose, serve with purpose, serve with wisdom serve with wisdom serve with fruitfulness.” serve with fruitfulness.” Translated from Life Quarterly Magazine (Chinese), Vol. 53, Jan, 2010".
