Fruit That Lasts

6 videos • 36 views • by Word of Grace Church Chesterland Typically we begin a new year with lots of resolve… we make our resolutions and try to see them last through groundhogs day! In the body of Christ, we take habit transformation to a new level, focusing on the Spiritual Disciplines that have marked the church for millennia. But here’s my question: have you ever been frustrated with the results? Whether a simple diet change or the attempt to re-wire habits that have been with you for years, it’s hard work, and sometimes fruitless, or temporary. But it doesn’t have to be! Transformation of our character is a promise we find in God’s Word, but often we use methods from our wisdom instead of His. I want to explore this with you, beginning in January, because I believe Jesus is still calling to us: “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last” (John 15:16 NIV)
