“The Nourished Life” – a message from Psalm 1:2 and John 15:7 by Pastor Nic Fridenmaker

This past weekend at Eastbrook, we continued our preaching series during Lent entitled “The Tree and the Vine,” drawing from Psalm 1 and John 15. In this third message of the series Pastor Nic Fridenmaker explored what it means to be nourished in God, drawing particularly on Psalm 1:2 and John 15:7.

You can find the message outline and video below. You can access the entire series here. Join us for weekend worship in-person or remotely via Eastbrook at Home.

Dig Deeper

This week dig deeper in one or more of the following ways:

• Spend time, if you are able, near some trees. Consider their growth, the depth of their roots, and where they have grown. Ask God to guide your mind, through His Word, on ways for you to grow, deepen your roots in Him, and where you will best grow. 
• As you go about your week repeat Psalm 1:2 or another easy to remember Bible passage to yourself, note how the meaning of it may grow or change. 
• Continue with the Eastbrook Church Lenten devotional: eastbrook.org/devotionals.
• Explore some of the following resources:
  • “Psalm 1” by the Bible Project
  • The Farewell Discourse and Final Prayer of Jesus by D.A. Carson
