      God’s Promises: A Promise Only Jesus Can Make

      Katie Edwards | August 11, 2019

      The world promises you all sorts of great things — happiness, success, wealth, significance. But the assurance of a fulfilled life is a promise that only Jesus can make. In this message, Katie Edwards will show you why the best life you can possibly have is a life lived for and with Jesus Christ.

      Message Action Plan

      Message Action Plan

      "Therefore," Jesus said again, "Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and
      go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to
      the full."John 10:7-10 (NIV)

      • JESUS PROMISES LIFE TO THE FULL
      • A "'LIFE TO THE FULL" IS A RESULT OF BEING CONNECTED TO HIM

        "Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned."John 15:4-6 (NIV)

      Action Plan:  Read all of John chapters 10 and 15 this week. As you read, underline anything that stands out to you.

      A CONNECTION TO JESUS IS EXPERIENCED BY. . .

      • BELIEVING AND RECEIVING

        Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.  John 1:12 (NIV)

        "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full."     John 10:9-10 (NIV)
      • TRUSTING AND OBEYING

        ". . . He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice."    John 10:3-4 (NIV)       

      Action Plan:  Include this verse in your prayer life this week. Thank God for being the Good Shepherd.

      • LOVING AND SERVING

        We love because he first loved us.  1 John 4:19 (NIV)

      Action Plan:  Look for a ministry to start serving with at Saddleback. Take CLASS 301 this weekend (saddleback.com/class) or browse serving opportunities online (saddleback.com/serve).

      Doable Discipleship: This week's episode of Doable Discipleship continues a conversation on how technology impacts our discipleship. New episodes release every Tuesday. To watch or listen,click here.
