Luke 13:1-9 – Great Expectations
Self-Examination is the key to growing
The Owner = God
The Tree = God’s People - Psalm 1
The Gardener = Holy Spirit- brings conviction
The Expectation = Fruit – produce fruit – God’s people
What fruit does God expect from His people?
God expects repentance (first)
“Weeding” the Garden – Dig
I Repent of ________________
I Repent of ________________
I Repent of ________________
Adding “Fertilizer”
I will ______________________
I will ______________________
I will ______________________
“Grow” – checklist – Is my life showing any evidence of bearing fruit, good deeds.
God’s primary concern is Godly Character. Philippians 2:5 – Jesus humbled himself, became obedient to death on a cross.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control - I Corinthians 13
Humility, Obedience – God Values these
