Reflection & Discussion

Warm-up. Share any gardening experience you have.

Read: John 15:1-11. Ask God to bless your study.

1. Why does Jesus call himself the vine and his followers branches (John 15:5)?

2. If Jesus is the true vine, what are some false vines?

3. How do you “abide” in Jesus?

4. Describe an experience you have had of being pruned or cleaned by the Father (15:1-3).

5. What is God’s purpose for you (John 15:2, 5-8, 16)? (See also Romans 8:29; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 2:10; 5:9.)

6. What forms do spiritual fruit take in us? What fruit is most evident in your life? What is lacking?

7. Is your praying shaped by Scripture (John 14:13-14)? Is your praying a ritual or the overflow of God’s life flowing through you? What does the latter look like?

8. How can you be more focused on abiding in Jesus this week?
