Leafy Growth

Contributed by Jon Lipka on May 6, 2012

As branches of the vine, it is our purpose to produce much fruit, not simply to serve ourselves by producing leafy growth.

God told Abram, “All people on earth will be blessed through you” (Gen. 12:3). He was not pointing to Isaac. Nor to Jacob, the first Israel; even though he brought blessing where he went, he was not the perfection of the promise—of God’s covenant. Similarly the sons of Jacob ...read more

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus the True Vine is the Only source of spiritual life. For us to know if we are a true disciple or a fake disciple we need recognise the difference between the Father bringing us through a difficult pruning process, or the Father cutting us off.
