Notes from Tuesday study

"Each branch in Me that does not bear fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit." - John 15:2

Loving each other is a way we can bear fruit. 

Other ideas about fruit: Galatians 5 - Fruit of the Spirit; Matthew 7:16-23 - known by our fruit; Colossians 1:10 - good works are fruit.

If we are producing bad fruit, then part of us is not connected to the vine. We need to correct our problem with the source, and the behavioural problems will fall into line. We can not produce good fruit unless we abide in Jesus.

Sometimes it is necessary for God to take us back to a place we once were, so that we are not hanging on to dead "branches." 

Hebrews 12:10-12 - We will always go through times of testing, but afterward, we are able to produce more fruit.

How are my hobbies, interests and relationships fruitful?
