Gratitude

The season of thanksgiving is upon us—a time to thank God for seeds, soil, and strength to sow; for growing fruit and a harvest of plenty. But God offers us more than food for our bodies. Mature gratitude focuses on who we are thankful for rather than what we are thankful for.

Abide to Spiritually Grow

Abide to Spiritually Grow

God desires to see growth from all of his creation. Consider how He created plants to grow, bloom, and bear fruit. They need sunlight, moisture, and nourishing soil. For believers to grow and bear spiritual fruit, it is important that we understand the principles God has laid out in His Word. True life only comes through salvation in Jesus Christ, and by abiding in Him we grow and bear fruit.
