Living In The Vine

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Jun 14, 2022

Jesus is the Vine, we are the branches. The Father the Gardener, the vinedresser. Everything God does is to enhance our abiding and fruitfulness. With each trimming, we become more like Christ, for God’s glory and for the blessing of others. For the blessing of the world around us.

Christ often used illustrations for us when explaining spiritual truths. “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Today, in John 15:1-11 we’re looking at the grapevine as ...read more

In this exposition of Hebrews 11:1-6, the nature of faith (v. 1), understanding by faith (v. 3), and essentials of faith (v. 6) are explored. "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Therefore, the subject is of supreme importance.

Five Keys To Answered Prayer

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 17, 2023

But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more
