Bear Fruit (Part 4 Of 4) Series

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 1, 2021

As one abides in Christ, only then can he or she bear fruit that will last. Like the vine in John 15, it is only as we stay connected to Christ that Christ will bring about fruit in us and through us for His glory.

As we look at John 15, we must remember the context. Jesus was talking with His disciples. It was the end of the Last Supper, right before they walked to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus would be arrested. Jesus had just told them that one of them would betray Him. He had talked of how He was ...read more

A Semper–fi Friend

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 2, 2021

Jesus tells us that we are His friends if we do what He commands us (John 15:14). If we keep His commandments, then we abide in His love (John 15:9). Jesus wants us to be semper fi friends! This sermon is about how a dog taught me something about the Gospel.

The Branch Of Motherhood

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021

How can we relate Mother’s Day to today’s text, John 15:1 – 8? We can relate Motherhood to today’s text by thinking of Motherhood as a branch on the Vine that Jesus is talking about.

THE BRANCH OF MOTHERHOOD Text: John 15:1-8 John 15:1-8  "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.  (2)  He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit.  (3)  You have already been ...read more

Examine Yourself

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jun 25, 2021

We need to test (examine) ourselves and see if the attitudes of our heart, soul and mind are in perfect alignment with those of Jesus. What we do is as important as what we say!

JESUS CHRIST PLACED GREAT EMPHASIS ON MEETING THE UNBELIEVER RIGHT WHERE THEY WERE AND IN WHATEVER STATE THEY ARE CURRENTLY LIVING. HE REALIZED THAT MANY CHRISTIANS, EVEN TODAY, STILL STRUGGLE TO COMPREHEND THIS AS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT IN THEIR CHRISTIAN LIFE. I AM CONVINCED THAT THE LATEST ...read more
