2025-09-28: Pastor Mark Quist – Discipleship: A Tree Planted by the Stream of Living Water
In worship today, we look at another image of discipleship – a tree planted by streams of water. Read Psalm 1 and ask yourself what are the blessings of being a tree planted by a stream of water? What is it about water to a tree that gives it life? Where does it show up? How can you know a tree is healthy?
Then take a look at John 15:5-8. What parallels are there of a tree by a stream of water and a branch engrafted into the vine?
These are beautiful pictures of discipleship. We were created to have our roots deep in the Living Water that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We were redeemed in and through Jesus to have our lives engrafted into his life giving salvation. But it doesn’t end there, we were created and redeemed to be fruitful!
The life of discipleship is like a tree, a vine, producing fruit. Can’t wait til Sunday, see you there, don’t forget to prepare – your heart, to meet with God, I’m sure God will be there.
