I AM THE TRUE VINE

I AM THE TRUE VINE

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

WHY IS BEING CONNECTED IMPORTANT?

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.”

1. STAYING CONNECTED PRODUCES FRUIT

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.

2. BEING DISCONNECTED PRODUCES NOTHING

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

“If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.”

HOW DO WE STAY CONNECTED TO THE VINE?

DO WHAT JESUS SAYS

“If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love…”

LOVE LIKE JESUS LOVES

“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”
