Jesus: How to Grow Spiritually
A relationship with Jesus is not meant to be occasional, emotional, or emergency-based, but daily.
“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” –Ephesians 5:15-17
What is God’s will?
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” – Jesus, John 10:10
Every day matters with Jesus.
John 15:1-11
Vine + branches
Branches are completely dependent on the vine.
Disconnected branches do not struggle to live; they die.
How do you grow spiritually?
1. Stay connected to Jesus daily
“I am the vine; you are the branches.”
2. Allow Jesus to prune what hinders your growth
“He pruned every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.”
3. Depend on Jesus’ strength
“Apart from me you can do nothing.”
4. Let Jesus produce His character in you
“… bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.”
5. Rest in the security of His love
“Remain in my love”
Jesus is saying every day matters.
With Him, it brings strength for the day.
With Him, it changes who we are becoming.
With Him, it produces fruit that lasts.
Don’t settle for knowing Jesus occasionally.
What would it mean for you to abide with Jesus?
