John 15 1-8 

Jesus, the True Vine

15 “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.

5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.

 

TITLE OF MESSAGE: As I Move Forward, AM I bearing Fruit?

Scripture: The Vine and the Branches: John 15:1-8

3 questions we should ask ourselves is:

1) Are we truly bearing the type of fruit the LORD has for us?

2) Are we ready to accept the fact that some branches will not bear any fruit and accept the fact that it is time to let go?

3) Are we truly focusing on his will and ABIDING in him? Or are we simply trying to fulfill our own desires?

Now the 3 takeaways from today’s call are:

1) Stay Connected
2) Always be dependent
3) Constant Continuance

Hope everyone has a blessed day.
