Discussion Questions

1. Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture points and the main idea of the message.
2. How did this message strengthen and/or correct your previous ideas about bearing fruit? Was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged, or confused you?
3. Who do you know that shows godly fruit?  What do you see in their life to know they are bearing fruit?
4. Share at least one example of where your walk with God is bearing fruit. How did this fruit bring glory to the Father and show that you are Christ’s disciple? Some examples of bearing fruit are others-focused generosity, holiness, and our witness to people. 
5. Disciples of Jesus imitate Jesus’ example through the power of God within them. What attribute of Jesus seems more natural for you to imitate? What did God do in your life to make this attribute of Jesus more natural for you to imitate?
6. If you were to ask God for an area of your life to prune, what area would He choose? What specific fruit could God produce in your life as a result of this pruning?

Action Step

1. If there is an area of your life for God to prune, surrender that area to Him in prayer.
2. Pray that God will bear fruit in your life this week to the Father’s glory and to show that you are Christ’s disciple.
3. Encourage another disciple of Christ by sharing with them where you see God bearing fruit in their life.
