Sunday Morning Expositional Message
The weekly sermon from Evergreen Community Church in Redland, Oregon. Today's sermon is from guest speaker and elder Eric Birch.
26 But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.Cum autem venerit Paraclitus, quem ego mittam vobis a Patre, Spiritum veritatis, qui a Patre procedit, ille testimonium perhibebit de me; 27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.et vos testimonium perhibebitis, quia ab initio mecum estis. 1 These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.Haec locutus sum vobis, ut non scandalizemini. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service to God.Absque synagogis facient vos : sed venit hora, ut omnis qui interficit vos arbitretur obsequium se praestare Deo. 3 And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.Et haec facient vobis, quia non noverunt Patrem, neque me. 4 But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.Sed haec locutus sum vobis, ut cum venerit hora eorum, reminiscamini quia ego dixi vobisOur Lord promised that He would send the Holy Ghost.
May 25, 2025 — This Morning Senior Pastor Rob Ginter preached a Sermon “The Life of the Vine is Mine-Part 3” John 15: 12-27

John 15:1-5 (from the Archive) New Living Translation15 “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.Music: "Rest in the Shadow" by Julian & Melissa Wiggins,Used with permission.

In this sermon we begin a series inspired by a book called What Makes You Come Alive: A Spiritual Walk With Howard Thurman by Lerita Coleman Brown. We use Thurman's famous quote to jumpstart our reflections on what it means to live in the spirit of the resurrection. [The quote: “Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.”] In this sermon we look at what it means to be spiritual but not religious and how that could mean we as the church need a better understanding of Jesus. Hint: it's another sermon about love. There's also a riff on my favorite hymn.
Does God say yes to every prayer? How do we get God to answer our prayers? Today's podcast tackles the interesting connection that Jesus made between bearing fruit and answered prayer. Don't miss it! #DailyBibleStudy, #Prayer, #HowToPray Stephen Mizell is joined by Jay Rivenbark and Sharon Schwartz as we look at a passage from John 15:1-8. Tyndale's Daily Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 9:1–11:27 John 15:1-27 Psalm 119:49-64 Proverbs 16:1-3
Jesus said to his disciples:"When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father,the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,he will testify to me.And you also testify,because you have been with me from the beginning."I have told you this so that you may not fall away.They will expel you from the synagogues;in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills youwill think he is offering worship to God.They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.I have told you this so that when their hour comesyou may remember that I told you."

In John 15:1-8, Jesus delivers the seventh of the 'I am' statements recorded in John's gospel: "I am the vine, you are the branches."In this sermon we will explore the profound implications this metaphor has on how we are to rightly understand the Christian life. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit apart from the vine, we cannot live the Christian life without full dependence on Christ. This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN. For more information visit LegacyRBC.org.
Memorial of Saint Philip Neri, PriestJohn 15:26—16:4aJesus said to his disciples:"When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father,the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,he will testify to me.And you also testify,because you have been with me from the beginning."
Pastor Rob McCoy delivers a heartfelt message from John 15, honoring the legacy of 102-year-old congregant Jim Mather, whose vibrant faith and servant heart inspired generations. Reflecting on Jim's refusal to grow “old” despite life's subtractions, Pastor Rob challenges believers to reinvent themselves through selfless service, drawing from the example of Bob and Jessica's courageous stand for truth. He unpacks Jesus' call to love one another through obedience, transitioning from servants to friends of Christ by embracing His commandments. Amid cultural battles and rising anti-Semitism, Pastor Rob urges unwavering commitment to truth and love, illustrated by stories of Navy SEAL teamwork and Charlie Kirk's defiance, encouraging a life of worship and impact that echoes eternally.Verse References: John 15 verses 9–17, Matthew 20 verses 20–28Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

This week, we continue our journey of walking daily with Jesus by diving into one of His most intimate and powerful invitations: “Abide in Me.” In just a few verses, Jesus reveals how staying connected to Him shapes every part of our lives. What does abiding really look like—and how do we live it out today? Want to watch a version of this message? Check out our live broadcast archive at www.declarationchurch.net/live.
Jesus said to his disciples:"If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own;but because you do not belong to the world,and I have chosen you out of the world,the world hates you.Remember the word I spoke to you,'No slave is greater than his master.'If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.And they will do all these things to you on account of my name,because they do not know the one who sent me."
John 15:11 says Jesus gives us His joy—but what kind of joy was He talking about? In this episode, we explore the real meaning of this verse, why it wasn't meant as a blanket emotional promise, and how joy looks different when read through the lens of obedience, suffering, and apostolic mission.

Jesus said to his disciples:"This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.No one has greater love than this,to lay down one's life for one's friends.You are my friends if you do what I command you.I no longer call you slaves,because a slave does not know what his master is doing.I have called you friends,because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.It was not you who chose me, but I who chose youand appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.This I command you: love one another."
Jesus said to his disciples:"As the Father loves me, so I also love you.Remain in my love.If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,just as I have kept my Father's commandmentsand remain in his love."I have told you this so thatmy joy might be in you andyour joy might be complete."
Jesus said to his disciples:"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit,and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.Remain in me, as I remain in you.Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its ownunless it remains on the vine,so neither can you unless you remain in me.I am the vine, you are the branches.Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,because without me you can do nothing.Anyone who does not remain in mewill be thrown out like a branch and wither;people will gather them and throw them into a fireand they will be burned.If you remain in me and my words remain in you,ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.By this is my Father glorified,that you bear much fruit and become my disciples."
Jesus said, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” But was He speaking to all believers—or only the Eleven? In this episode, we explore John 15:1–8 in its full context, showing how it was a direct, covenantal moment of apostolic commissioning. We trace how each part of the passage was fulfilled in the lives of the apostles—and why that changes everything about how we read it today.
Old Testament Reading Isaiah 5:1-7Psalm 80
Pastor Kyle shares from John 15:1-17 that discipleship is demonstrated by a life that bears spiritual fruit, which comes from abiding in Jesus, the true vine, and living in obedience to His commands. True growth as a disciple involves not just knowledge, but transformation that impacts both the individual and others, marked especially by love and visible change. Followers of Jesus are called to pursue a fruitful life that glorifies God and brings lasting significance
This week we explore the work of the Holy Spirit in light of Jesus' words to His disciples concerning persecution.
This week our guest speaker, Pastor Phil, invites us to reimagine the Christian life not as something we do for God, but with God. Drawing from John 15 and Matthew 11, he unpacks Jesus' invitation to walk in intimate friendship and shared burden. Through his personal stories and illustrations, we're challenged to see mission as a daily journey of presence, rest, and partnership with Christ.

Jesus said to his disciples:“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.Remain in my love.If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,just as I have kept my Father's commandmentsand remain in his love.“I have told you this so that my joy might be in youand your joy might be complete.This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.No one has greater love than this,to lay down one's life for one's friends.You are my friends if you do what I command you.I no longer call you slaves,because a slave does not know what his master is doing.I have called you friends,because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.It was not you who chose me, but I who chose youand appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.This I command you: love one another.”
