The believer bears fruit without any connection to following Jesus

Pursue a life marked by real growth that points back to God

Focus mainly on looking spiritual, even if nothing changes

Measure faith mostly by knowing religious facts

Keep faith private so no one can see the results

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and cannot make my life truly fruitful on my own. I turn from my sin and ask for your mercy. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as my Lord, and I trust you to lead me as your disciple. Let my life begin to honor the Father as I follow you. Amen.

Receive Jesus and Follow Him

Lord, revive your church so that we bear fruit that honors the Father and follow Jesus with real devotion. Wake us from empty religion, cleanse what blocks growth, and make our lives show your goodness to the world, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Your Church to Bear Fruit

Thank God for any fruit he has already grown in your life; thank him for the Father being honored through small acts of obedience; thank him that Jesus calls you to follow him; thank him that growth is his work and gift.

Thanks for the Fruit You Grow

Pray by naming one area where you want more fruit, asking the Father to shape it, and asking Jesus to help you walk as his follower today.

Pray for Fruitful Growth

Father, let the people I love bear fruit that honors you. Draw them into living discipleship to Jesus, and let their lives become a witness to your goodness, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Fruit in the Lives of Others

Lord, show me what in my life is draining fruitfulness. I confess any habits, attitudes, or distractions that keep me from following you well. Please remove what needs pruning and grow in me what pleases the Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Remove What Hinders Fruit
