Made For More | Made for Discipline

John 15:1-8


Christian growth is a combination of RESTING in Jesus and a DISCIPLINED, active pursuit of Him.


1. Resting in Jesus


a. Mechanical Growth


b. Organic Growth


US 'remaining/abiding' in HIM


You didn't START the Christian life by earning God's love;

You won't SUSTAIN it through earning it either.


Love for God grows IN us as we REMAIN in the love of God FOR us.


Spiritual fruit comes only from INTIMACY with Jesus.


Dwelling on the love of God FOR you will produce love for God IN you!


'Me FOR Christ'


'Me AND Christ'


'Christ IN Me'


Galatians 2:20


Christian growth is a combination of RESTING in Jesus and a DISCIPLINED, active pursuit of Him.
