Re-Plant
As we conclude our series on spiritual cultivation, we're challenged to consider the full cycle of growth in our faith. The powerful teachings from John 15 remind us that we're called not just to bear fruit, but to produce fruit that lasts. This lasting fruit comes through discipleship - the act of not only following Christ ourselves but bringing others along with us. The Great Commission in Matthew 28 isn't just about preaching or baptizing, but about making disciples who make disciples.
We're invited to reflect: Are we truly disciples of Jesus, or merely cultural Christians? Are we actively discipling others? Our faith journey isn't meant to end with us; we're called to replant and reproduce, investing in others for God's kingdom. This message challenges us to identify our 'one' - that person God has placed in our lives to disciple and nurture in faith.
