Title: Jesus Is the True VineMain Text: John 15:1-11Key Points:The Vine, the Vinedresser, and the BranchesJesus is the true vine, the Father is the gardener, and we are the branches.True believers bear fruit. Fruit doesn't lead to salvation—it proves salvation.There are two types of branches: those that bear fruit and are pruned, and those that bear no fruit and are cut off.Dead Branches: Divine JudgmentBranches that don't remain in Christ are thrown away, wither, and are burned (John 15:6).Dead branches drain life, invite disease, and block light and growth—for themselves and others.Judgment is not passive—it's just, and it reveals true spiritual condition.Fruitful Branches: Divine DisciplineGod prunes fruitful branches so they bear even more fruit.Pruning is painful, but it's an act of love that draws us deeper into dependence on Christ (Hebrews 12:6, 2 Corinthians 1:8-9).Spiritual growth often comes through trials.Abide in the VineRemain. Abide. Stay close. Jesus says, “Apart from me you can do nothing.”Remaining doesn't make you a disciple—it proves that you are one.If you were hurt in community, healing happens in community.Fruit = LoveJesus' command is clear: “Love one another as I have loved you.”His joy becomes our joy when we obey His commands and live a life marked by sacrifice and love.Final Question:Are you bearing fruit? What season are you in? The goal isn't to force fruit—it's to stay close to the vine.

An important question we need to ask frequently in life is, “What's the real root of the matter here?” Whether it be in navigating relationships, making business decisions, or making plans for the future. As we consider what it means for Jesus to be the True Vine, John wants us to understand the real root of the matter when it comes to life and faith… God causes growth in us when we make our home with Jesus. - Pastor Arek O'ConnellSupport the show

As we continue the series about the I AM statements of Jesus, Pastor Nate Peregoy asks three questions: Who is the Vine? What is its Fruit? How do we grow today? The answer to the last question defies conventional wisdom and invites us to change from the outside in.
The Upper Room - John 13-17 - The True VinePassage: John 15v1-17Speaker: Pastor Ashley Gardner
“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.” (John 15:5 NLT) Jesus wanted His disciples to know that even though He was leaving them, their connection would never be cut. The image He used is a vine and its branches. Jesus is the true vine. His followers are the branches. You don’t have to be a master gardener to know that the branches of a vine can’t survive and thrive unless they’re connected to the vine. And we can’t survive and thrive spiritually unless we stay connected to Jesus. He gives us the spiritual nourishment we need to produce good fruit in our lives. Not all fruit is good. Jesus made that clear in His confrontations with the Jewish religious leaders. These respected men appeared to live very fruitful lives. They worked hard to seem pious. They built their reputations on fulfilling the smallest details of the law. They guarded religious traditions and attacked anyone who challenged their authority. What appeared to be fruit in their lives, however, was rotten. It wasn’t nourished by the true vine. Jesus said, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me’” (Matthew 15:7–8 NLT). The religious leaders wanted people to think that they were close to God, but their hearts were disconnected from Him. Somewhere along the way, they became more concerned about looking like they were producing spiritual fruit than actually producing it. What they didn’t realize is that we can’t grow spiritual fruit on our own. All we can do is stay connected to the true vine. “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” (verse 4 NLT). Spiritual disciplines such as Bible study, prayer, quiet times, and sharing our faith keep us connected to Jesus. If we make them part of our daily routine, we will see spiritual fruit grow. An amazing thing happens when we start to bear spiritual fruit. Jesus said, “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 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” (verses 1–2 NLT). God created us. He knows what we’re capable of producing. He can see the areas where we’re blossoming. And He can see the areas where growth and yield aren’t happening. If we stay connected to Jesus, the true vine, God will help us cut away the unproductive areas of our lives, the things that keep us from producing even more fruit. God, the Master Gardener, will help us increase our spiritual yield. That, in turn, will draw us closer to Jesus. And the cycle continues. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we enter a new year, it is a time of reflection and anticipation. Many goals and resolutions will be made as we pursue growth and renewed purpose. John 15 clarifies these desires for improvement through an analogy of a vineyard and helps us focus on what is most important – how we can be fruitful followers of Jesus.

In his TGCW24 message, David Platt teaches Jesus's final “I am” statement from John 15:1–11, which Jesus spoke to his disciples on the night he was betrayed.Jesus calls all believers to abide in him like a branch remains in its vine, drawing everything we need from him. We don't rely on our obedience to save or sanctify us; we rely on the finished work of Jesus, depending fully on him. Because apart from him, we can do nothing. He is the true vine.Platt teaches the following:Childlike boldness and the will of GodThe metaphor of the vineJesus as the true vineExperiencing abundant life in JesusThe role of prayer and meditationThe battle for belief and trustBearing fruit for the worldHelp The Gospel Coalition build up a renewed church for tomorrow.

Experience the cleansing power of His word and the nourishment it provides, encouraging us to view life's trials as opportunities for growth and deeper connection with Christ.Journey with us as we emphasize the importance of abiding in Christ—both as individuals and within the church community.

I Am the True VineScripture: John 15:1-6Sermon Preached by Steve DuBransky on August 4, 2024→ Check out more sermons
Send us a Text Message.In today's study, we examine the passage where Jesus declares that He is the True Vine, the Father is the Husbandman, and we are the branches. He went on to tell us that we are His disciples if we keep His commandments, but He told us this that our joy might be full. He gave us a commandment: to love one another. Jesus then calls us friends rather than servants. In our Q&A segment, we were asked what we feel was a very disappointing question: Can black people get saved, since they have the mark of Cain upon them? This episode is full of powerful verses, and some of the most familiar statements Christ made here on earth.Come on and enjoy the Word of God today!

The post THE TRUE VINE (JOHN 15) appeared first on GATEWAYFAMILY.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on John 15, in which Jesus claims to be the true vine. Now, all of God's choosing and saving will take place through him.
It doesn't take an expert gardener to know that a branch that isn't connected to the vine won't survive for very long. In this week's message from John 15, Pastor Bryan explores the next of Jesus' "I am" statements, helping us understand what it means to abide in Jesus, the "true vine." Many other things—often good things—vie for our time and attention, making this seem impossible. But the truth is, we have no hope of producing lasting fruit if we're seeking life from any other source.
Jesus, The True Vine - (John 15-1-11)
Sunday morning worship at Altadena Baptist Church, March 24, 2024. Sermon by Pastor Connie Larson DeVaughn: "I AM...the True Vine" (John 15).
Jesus, walking with his disciples, describes himself as the true vine and God as the gardener, with his followers as the branches. He stresses that their main task is to abide in him. Abiding means finding identity, growing in communion, and obeying his commands. It's about recognizing dependency on him for life and purpose.
Welcome to Part 3 of Pastor Mike's sermon series: "The True Vine"! In this insightful message, Pastor Mike highlights four key points:Productivity Expectations: God expects us to be productive, not just in John 15:2 but throughout Scripture. He delves into the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:24-30), emphasizing the importance of action to our faith.God's Assistance: Aligning with God's plan ensures His presence and help in our endeavors. By seeking His will and partnering with Him, we experience His guidance and support.Finding Joy in Service: Christianity offers purpose and fulfillment in serving others. Pastor Mike emphasizes the excitement of being actively involved in God's mission rather than being passive spectators.Facing Opposition: While there may be opposition, victory comes to those who remain connected to the True Vine (John 15:5). Pastor Mike encourages us not to be discouraged by challenges but to remain steadfast in our faith.Join us as we pray to be connected, growing, and productive in our faith journey!
Adult Sunday School Series: The I AM Statements of Jesus Lesson 10: I Am the True Vine - John 15:5,24 Presented on 18 February 2024 at Grace Providence Church - Cerritos, CA. Presented by Jim Cole www.GraceProvidenceChurch.org Photo by Alice Donovan Rouse on Unsplash
The nation of Israel was led out of Egypt, passed through the water, led into the wilderness to be tempted, failed to keep the law perfectly, and because of their sin judgment and exile came. Christ, the true Israel of God came of Egypt, was baptized by John the Baptist, tempted in the wilderness and succeeded, and then succeeded in keeping the Law perfectly. Jesus the true Israel of God would be our merciful High Priest, the suffering Servant, and the true sacrifice at temple. He would have judgment brought upon Himself, but not for His sins, but rather for His elect who are spiritual Israel. As a result of our union with the true Israel, the true Vine which is Christ we are regarded as spiritual Israel and will inherit the true promised land forever! This only possible by abiding and being in union with Christ, the true Vine!
FRUITFULNESS is connected to ABIDING By abiding in Him, we will bear much fruit Apart from Him, we can do nothing
In Jesus' final I AM statement, He declares He is the True Vine. For those who abide in Him, He not only nourishes and sustains, but He offers His joy for His branches.
Abide In The True Vine (John 15:1-8)
