John 15:1-11

Joe Miriello teaches through Jesus' statement, "I am the true vine." He builds off of God's original call to Adam and Eve to "be fruitful" and ties this call into Jesus' promise that we WILL be fruitful if we abide in him and keep his commandments. This fruitful abiding starts in our inner-being as we learn to experience the Father's love and joy through Jesus. It then grows into a fruitful abiding that blesses and encourages others - bearing fruit that is enjoyed and experienced by those around us. Without being attached to, and drawing life from the True Vine that is Jesus, we will wither and dry out - yet God, in his love and mercy, tends to us, prunes us, and takes care to help us remain and abide.

Join us as we continue the I Am Series. We dive deep into John 15 and study what Jesus means when he calls himself the vine. Pastor Chris explains to us how true Jesus followers need to be pruned to later be better for what God has called us to in our lives and how God teaches us to abide in him.

John 15:1-8 I. The Picture (vv. 1-4)A.Jesus is the Vine. B. God the Father is the Gardener.The pruningThe pruned C.The need for connection II.The Personalization (vv. 5-8)A.We are the branches. 1.The fruit:Fruit we bear by our works (Matt. 7:15-20)Fruit we bear in our witness (Prov. 11:30)Fruit borne through worship (Galatians 5:22-26) 2.The fire: Judgment B.The blessing of connection 1.Provision from God2.Glorification of God3.Participation with God More to Consider Fruitfulness is the result of the Sons life being reproduced in a disciple. The disciples part is to remain. The word remain, a key word in Johns theology, is menō which occurs 11 times in this chapter, 40 times in the entire Gospel, and 27 times in Johns epistles. What does it mean to remain? It can mean, first, to accept Jesus as Savior (cf. 6:54, 56). Second, it can mean to continue or persevere in believing (8:31 [hold is remain]; 1 John 2:19, 24). Third, it can also mean believing, loving obedience (John 15:910). Without faith, no life of God will come to anyone. Without the life of God, no real fruit can be produced: Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. What did Jesus mean by these symbolic words about vine branches being burned? These words have been interpreted in at least three ways: (1) The burned branches are Christians who have lost their salvation. (But this contradicts many passages, e.g., 3:16, 36; 5:24; 10:2829; Rom. 8:1.) (2) The burned branches represent Christians who will lose rewards but not salvation at the judgment seat of Christ (1 Cor. 3:15). (But Jesus spoke here of dead branches; such a branch is thrown away and withers.) (3) The burned branches refer to professing Christians who, like Judas, are not genuinely saved and therefore are judged. Like a dead branch, a person without Christ is spiritually dead and therefore will be punished in eternal fire (cf. Matt. 25:46). Judas was with Jesus; he seemed like a branch. But he did not have Gods life in him; therefore he departed; his destiny was like that of a dead branch. Blum, E. A. (1985). John. In J. F. Walvoord R. B.

Up To Jerusalem - Teaching 12 Scripture: Psalm 91,John 14:15-31, John 15, 1 Peter 4:12-13, Acts 14:22,Matthew 10:22, 2 Timothy 3;12, Matthew 5:10-12. Psalm 91 tells us that our God can be trusted. This psalm has words that Jesus depended on and held onto as He headed Up to Jerusalem. He was able to face the trial, trouble and tribulation that came on the road to the cross. Our story today picks up with Jesus saying, “If you love me, keep my commands.” This is not about earning eternal life, it's about our relationship of love with The One who showed His love for us at the cross. As we love Him we show that in genuine obedience (keep my commands). God's desire is that we mature in faith and that our very lives reflect Him through our speech and behavior and that we model Christ's example. Then Jesus shares that He will send an Advocate to help. This Advocate is the One who speaks truth. A counselor, encourager, comforter who will help us and be with us forever - The Holy Spirit. God's supernatural presence and power in our lives. We are not called to live a life believing that God exists - we are called to live a supernatural life - we are called to live a life utterly dependent on the presence of God the Holy Spirit in our lives. Jesus assures His disciples and us that we are never alone. Jesus says, “I am in my Father, you are in Me, and I am in you.” (This is relationship). Jesus goes on to tell them the Holy Spirit (The Advocate) is coming and will be with us, and then He encourages them not to worry or be afraid.  These words are for us today - He will never abandon us - We can trust Him. Jesus tells them He gives them peace - not the kind of peace the world gives, but His peace. Shalom. Shalom describes a relationship with the Living God where everything is done in harmony with His plan and purpose.  It is supernatural peace. And we are encouraged to allow it to overwhelm our hearts and souls. As we continue reading Jesus tells us He is the True Vine, and God the Father is the Gardener. Pastor addresses a concern that most Bible translations may have this line inaccurately translated. Most Bibles say the Gardener “cuts off” branches that bear no fruit.  However, let's explore how a vineyard gardener actually cares for a vine with branches that are bearing no grapes. What he does is he lifts up the branches from the ground and brings them into the sun, lifting them up and securing them in a way they can produce fruit.  Pastor believes this is what Jesus is saying here - that this is not a word of law, but instead a word of comfort.  Jesus says “every branch IN ME that is not producing fruit, the Father lifts up so that it can produce fruit.   Pastor's argument is this: the Bible translations tell us Jesus says, “the Father cuts off every branch IN ME that bears no fruit .” But then Jesus says if you abide IN ME you will bear much fruit.” Where is continuity in these verses?  Let's take a look at the original Greek. The verse says: “He “airō” every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He “koptō” to make it even more fruitful.” The words used in the original Greek are airō and koptō. airō can mean to cut off but the primary meaning of the word is to be lifted up. koptō means to be cut off (pruned).  As we learned earlier those who care for grapevines - tell us that a grapevine only produces fruit when it is lifted up from the ground and lifted into the sun. When we are in Jesus and not producing fruit, the Gardener (the Father) lifts us up, airō us up into the “Son” so that we will produce fruit, we are not cut off but lifted up. And when we are producing fruit the Gardener prunes, koptō us so that we will produce even more fruit. When we remain in Jesus - the Vine - we will bear fruit because the Father - Gardener - lifts us up and prunes us so we produce more fruit. Jesus goes on to talk about:     ⁃    True joy     ⁃    Loving others     ⁃    That He calls us “friend”     ⁃    Answered prayer     ⁃    Persecution  These are the things Jesus shared on the night He was betrayed and arrested because He loved His disciples and He loves us and He wants us connected to Him - abiding in Him and prepared for what is to come.

Up To Jerusalem is the story of the plan of God to redeem the world, and the story of a Savior willing to obey the Father's plan. As we study Jesus' final days, we will be impacted as we discover the Love of God for each one of us.  This study is great for large group, small group or home group study and can be started at any time.

We live in a world that pushes performance, hustle, and burnout. But Jesus offers something better: connection. That's why He said, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” Real life doesn't come from doing more. It comes from staying close to Him. If you're tired, tangled, or spiritually dry, this message is for you. It's time to get reconnected.

Using the most sacred name for God, Jesus declares, "I am the true vine!" In this message, we discover three principles to having a frutiful life.

John 15 teaches that flourishing in life requires a living connection with Jesus, the true vine. Pastor Carl taught that being spiritually disconnected is not simply being lost. It means being exposed to fear, confusion, and the works of the enemy. He said, “Disconnected from God, we're not just lost. We're on our own and vulnerable to the enemy's works.” The sermon included the story of Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who remained in hiding for 29 years after World […] The post Deep Desires: The True Vine appeared first on Revival Life Church Boca Raton, FL.
