My father is glorified by this that you bear much fruit, And so prove to be my disciples. John 15:8

If we are bearing fruit… what kind of fruit can we bear?

Sharing what God has blessed us with

“…if your Christianity does not affect your pocketbook, then one has to question how much your Christianity has affected you.”Christianity

Praising and thanking God

Change in conduct and character

Winning others to Jesus Christ and helping them grow spiritually

His desire for us to produce a lot of it — to be highly productive.

We ARE to be fruitful!

What you say + what you do = who you are.

1. FEAR of Isolation and Rejection

2. Fear of Assertiveness

3. Fear of Failing Someone’s Ideal

4. Fear that God won’t show up

5. Fear that We Don’t know Enough

“Simply concentrate on being completely devoted to Christ in your hearts. Be ready at any time to give a quiet and reverent answer for the hope that you have within you.” 1 Peter 3:15, JBP

I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plants, but God made you grow. 1 Corinthians 3:6

How’s the fruit bearing where you live?
