Monday 4th – “…My Father is the Vinedresser”.
Written by John Partis.
Something new is growing…
A quiet moment in the garden.
Fresh life appearing where there once was stillness.
And a gentle reminder that there is a hand at work behind it all…
This week, a new reflection by John explores a powerful truth from the Gospel of John 15—one that may change the way you see seasons of growth, waiting, and even the unexpected.
What if the areas of your life that feel uncertain…
are actually being carefully tended?
What if you’re not meant to strive harder—
but to remain closer?
“…My Father is the Vinedresser”
A reflection that invites you to pause, consider, and see God’s work in a deeper way.
Friday 8th – More Righteous than the Pharisees.
Part 3 of The Sermon on the Mount Devotional Series, written by Jill Partis.
The next step in our Sermon on the Mount series here on Bearing Kingdom Fruit.
Righteousness is a word we hear often—but how deeply do we really understand it?
Is it about doing the right things… or about something much deeper that cannot be achieved by effort alone?
In this devotional, Jill begins to unfold a Kingdom perspective that shifts the focus from outward performance to inward transformation, and from self-effort to grace.
This is an invitation to reflect honestly on how we relate to God—whether we are striving to earn His approval or learning to live from the place of acceptance He has already given.
Take a moment this week to lean in…
this may speak more deeply than you expect.
