Discover the Path to Spiritual Growth Jesus frequently used fruitfulness as a metaphor of growth and vitality in our faith. Just as a plant's fruitfulness reveals its health, there are spiritual characteristics that reveal our own growth and vitality. But how do we get a life of fruitful obedience when we're exhausted, anxious, and busy? Jesus tells and shows us the way in his most famous sermon, The Sermon on the Mount. Much more than a list of rules–we discover that it's Jesus' vision of a good and fruitful life. In their new eight-week Bible study A Fruitful Life, Ashley and Bryce Hales help readers dive deep into the Sermon on the Mount, and explore a life spent living and loving as Jesus did. A Fruitful Life includes:
- Eight sessions for group or individual use that include access to video teaching - Individual reflections for each day of the week for deeper study and sustained engagement A Fruitful Life isn't just about reading Scripture; it's about fully engaging with the text and seeing how God's Word can transform our daily lives.
"I am always looking for studies to recommend to small groups that invite people into deeper community and individual time with God or devotionals which are diligent in engaging with the Scriptures and commend ways for us to practice our faith. In A Fruitful Life, Ashley and Bryce Hales give us just such a resource: an exploration of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount that is both invitational and challenging for Christians at any stage of their spiritual journey to live more fruitfully."
