Here comes the Bloom

Main message: Jesus is the divine gardener who has chosen, purchased, placed, planted, and pruned believers so they will bear lasting fruit; trusting Him through storms and seasons of pruning leads to a full "bloom" — sometimes a super bloom — in God's timing.

Key points:

• Jesus is pictured as the gardener who chose you to be part of His bouquet and purchased you by His sacrifice.
• God has placed and planted you in a specific location and community so you can serve with the gifts He gave you.
• Pruning (hard seasons, cutting away unfruitful things) is necessary for growth and fruitfulness.
• You are called to produce fruit; avoid comparing your bloom to others and instead pursue obedience to God’s unique call for your life.
• Storms and seasons of rain can trigger a "super bloom" — what looked like death or dormancy can become abundant life when God moves.
