1. What stood out to you or connected with you from tonight's message?

2. What fruit have you seen God producing in your life this year? Where have you seen growth? (If the group knows each other well, share how you have seen fruit in one another's life.)

3. Why does Jesus care so much about the process of "pruning" in a believer's life? Have you experienced the Good Gardener's pruning work in your life? What has that experience been like?

4. What would it practically look like for you to "abide" in Jesus this week? What would it take to abide in Him in this year ahead?
