2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does Jesus claim about himself and his Father, and what does he say happens to the branch that remains in him?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • If real life flows only from staying joined to Jesus, where have you been trying to bear fruit on your own?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • What is one practical way you will remain in him this week — in his words and in his love?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who could you love this week the way Jesus says his friends love one another?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
