The Cutting Season

<p>Every ring records a season, and this one is the cutting season. In week two of Growth Rings, Pastor Cory Hester walks through John 15 to show that sometimes the next level doesn't require you to add something, it requires you to eliminate something, because sometimes God makes room before He gives us more.</p><p><br></p><p>1. Rely on the Gardener: He always has your best interest at heart. He's not focused on what He's taking; He's focused on what He's forming.</p><p>2. Release the Branch: Every sin is a weight, but not every weight is a sin. Yesterday's fruit might not be today's assignment.</p><p>3. Remain in the Vine: Your job isn't to manufacture fruit. Your job is to stay connected to the source of life.</p><p><br></p><p>Scripture: John 15:1-5 · Genesis 50:20 · Hebrews 12:11 · Hebrews 12:1 · Philippians 3:7-8 · Ephesians 2:8-9</p><p><br></p><p>New Light Church · Sundays 10am · 307 Chestnut St, Bladenboro, NC</p>
