     | 6,552 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

     | 3,978 views

    Many people have used this verse evangelically; however, its true context is for Christians. Jesus is speaking to the Church members of Laodicea to let Him into their life for fellowship and worship and not only religious pretense.

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. (I put on screen pictures of painting - artist depictions of this ...read more
