What If Fruit Only Grows in Freedom?

Join us here for our morning service at The Grace Church. This morning, our pastor Andrew Farley presents “Grounded in Grace.” Below are discussion questions inspired by this message. 1. Read Matthew 7:18. What does Jesus’ teaching about good and bad trees reveal about the source of our fruit? Our nature? Our goodness? 2. Read Romans 7:4. How does the “death and remarriage” analogy help us understand our new relationship with Christ? What was our old husband like? Our new one? 3. Read Romans 7:6. What does it mean to serve “in newness of the Spirit” instead of “in oldness of the letter”? What does that really look like? How is it different from the stereotype of Christian living that can stifle the genuine article? 4. Read Galatians 5:1. In what ways do believers sometimes drift back toward a “yoke of slavery”? How can we remain firm in our freedom? Any practical helps? 5. Read Galatians 5:22–24. Why do you think Paul says, “against such things there is no law”? 6. Read Colossians 2:19. How does being “connected to the head” (Christ) change the way we think about growing in grace and fruit-bearing? 7. React to this statement: “Fruit only grows in an atmosphere of freedom.” Do you agree? Why or why not?
