The Vineyard- April 19, 2015


The Vineyard

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

 

Decisions, decisions

-          Motives

o   What is your motivation for having faith in Christ? 

o   Do you see God as a means to an end, or the end Himself?

o   Would others look at you and think you to be godly?  What that be simply the outward appearance, or would it be the true reflection of your heart?

-          Cost

o   Have you ever thought about the fact that Christian faith costs us?

o   Did you consider the cost before you made your decision to follow Jesus?

o   In what ways has the world rejected you because of your Christian faith?  If you’ve never faced rejection because of your faith, is it possible your faith isn’t very noticeable to others?

-          Commitment

o   Have you renounced your old, sinful way of living?

o   Have you committed to daily carrying your cross and following Jesus?

Pray for pure motives in following Christ.   

Pray for the courage to accept the cost of following Christ. 

Pray for the ability to more fully commit to Christ.
