Wednesday Evening Bible Study Sam's Fruitful Tree Lessons 9-10-2025

We are finishing our study of Sam's Fruitful Tree Lessons with a recap of the various lessons that Sam shared in his teaching.
The four priorities that Sam recognized in the lives of dedicated Christ followers were:
1. To Know Him
2. To Be Like Christ
3. Extend the Kingdom--Doing the Work of the Ministry
4. Resisting Adverse Elements--Spiritual Warfare
The first three of these priorities referenced the root system, the trunk, and the fruit bearing branches of the Fruit Tree, which Sam used to compare to the Christ follower's life.
Then the Spiritual Warfare priority involved all the priorities and emphasized knowing our enemy (the devil and his fallen followers, our Spiritual armor and weapons, and then knowing the names of Satan.
Scriptures referenced today are:
2nd Peter 1:5-7
Ephesians 6:10-20
Romans 12
1st Corinthians 12-13-14
Ephesians 4
