Fight to Follow

Spiritual Growth is picured as a Plant

A seed can’t stay a seed, it has to change

If you pursue You - we miss our purpose
If we pursue Christ - we find meaning

2 Corinthians 4:18 - don’t waste your life by focusing on worldly things; this is temporary

- Seek Christ
- Spend our lives on others
- Separate from our desire for self-rule

Why do we serve? We emulate the Rabbi who served us first; we identify with Him

- Make Distance (from the World)

Do the people we spend time with see evidence of our faith?

We can’t follow Christ if we don’t know Christ

The call is to commit our WHOLE life; what needs to die? (Luke 14:27)

Ephesians 4:14
Grow, mature, hold fast

1 What are some areas in our lives where we need to “die to self” (give up control and submit to God’s plan?)

2 What are some things you used to enjoy that you now see as ungodly?

3 Is Jesus the master of you life? Are you mastered by something other ham Christ?

4 What are some good things you need incorporate into your life that will brighten your witness for Christ?
