Text(s) for Study: John 15:1-8, Psalm 9:1-2

Preparation for Worship:
Read John 15:1-8
- As we abide in Christ, what happens? (We bear
MUCH fruit.)
- In verse 8, who gets the glory when there is fruit?
(God, the Father)
Read Psalm 9:1-2
- How do you give thanks to the Lord? (With your
whole heart.)
- Discuss the following definition of “recount”
re·count –verb (used with object)
1. to relate or narrate; tell in detail; give the facts or
particulars of.
2. to narrate in order.
3. to tell one by one; enumerate.
- Recognize that fruit production should cause us to
recount His wonderful deeds. Take time to discuss
the fruits of His wonderful deeds!
- Prepare your family to come worship whole-
heartedly and glorify God as we recount His work in
us, the Bride!

Everyday Conversations (LOOK FOR opportunities to revisit the

preached Word and the foundational truth(s) taught):
Consider this encouragement from Scott:
“Our story of redemption is not simply about what God has
done in the past. God is at work in the lives of His children
everyday. His wonderful deeds are still happening. This
Psalm reminds us that to be whole-hearted in worship, we
must recount the Lord’s deeds. In other words, a whole-
hearted worshipper will always aim to make God’s goodness
known to others.” http://recounters.blogspot.com/
Please remember that ALL children will join us in worship on Sunday as
we meet at Greenville High School for Membership Renewal!
