    I Am...the True Vine Series

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Jan 25, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,782 views

    Since Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches, we are to believe in him and abide in Jesus therefore producing fruit, which is the character of Christ (love, joy, etc.) and helping others know Christ.

    During Lent we have been looking at what Jesus said about himself not what other people think, but what he actually said according to an eye witness his disciple John. Specifically, these are Jesus’ seven “I am” statements. Through each statement Jesus revealed a little more about who he really ...read more

    Jeremiah declared that Jesus would be a King, a righteous branch, and our righteousness. What do those titles mean to us and what is it about Jesus that would give us comfort and joy?

    Connectivity To Divinity Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 14, 2025
     | 183 views

    One of the greatest privileges of the believer is access to divine connection. Just as a branch cannot survive without being attached to the vine, so also no man can thrive without a connection to God.

    CONNECTIVITY TO DIVINITY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 15:5 "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." Supporting Texts: James 4:8; Psalm 91:1; Isaiah 40:31; John 14:6; ...read more

    Growing In Spirituality SermonCentral

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 11, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 560 views

    In 'Growing in Spirituality', we explore John 15:1-5 where Jesus outlines the process of spiritual growth. This involves understanding God as the gardener, Jesus as the true vine, and ourselves as the branches.

    Salvation through faith in Christ has two dimensions: the assurance of eternal life in heaven and the call to live for God on earth. While we often hear that we should live for God, we are rarely taught how to do it. In John 15:1-11, Jesus provides a clear explanation of the process of spiritual ...read more

    Preached for a Messianic Jewish Congregation. Joshua the high priest and his servants are symbolic of the Branch, the Messiah, and the conflict in which He is engaged. We can note several "hows" that explain the symbolism and the conflict.

    Jesus said "I am the vine, you are the branches. Apart from me you can do nothing?" But that doesn't make any sense... or does it?

    I remember growing up in church as a child and it would be Palm Sunday and we were all given Palm branches and were told to wave them in the air in celebration of Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

    The Triumphal Entry Why it is Triumphal. By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Today we celebrate the day we call Palm Sunday.

    Here Is A Trustworthy Saying

     | 7,694 views

    As pastors we know that proof texting is dangerous. It is even more dangerous to take two fragments of a "Trustworthy Saying" that spans three verses and use them to support a doctrine. With that in mind lets take a look at 2 Timothy 2:11-13.

    (This is a hybrid between a sermon manuscript and a sermon outline. I hope you can follow it and flesh it out in your own words as the Lord leads you.) Please open your Bibles to 2 Timothy 2:1-13 which we will read in a few minutes. 1st and 2nd Timothy and Titus are letters written to specific ...read more

    So we have Jesus as the Vine, God the Father as the Vinedresser, and us as the branches. Having made those distinctions, let me share with you the lessons I think we can learn from this passage.

    A while back we began a study of the times throughout the Gospel of John where Jesus said, “I am…” I am the Light of the world. I am the Door. I am the Good Shepherd. I am the Bread of Life. Tonight I want us to close out this series by looking at another one of these statements that Jesus ...read more

    How is God glorified? By the fruit we bear. And how do we bear fruit? By abiding in Jesus. He is the vine; we are the branches. Apart from him we can do nothing. No root, no fruit.

    The celebration of Palm Sunday has always been a bittersweet moment in the life of the Church: the palm branch represented victory, triumph and peace, but the people in the Palm Sunday Parade missed the distinct KIND of victory and peace demonstrated.
